Is Gerrard not 100 per cent fit?

[Gravy]

That is all

[lawrie]

he's certainly been quiet the last 3 or 4 games.

He got no space today to be fair. Our wingers didnt stretch the game enough.

[Hassony]

he always plays s**** against chelsea, He'll hit his top form soon enough

[Gravy]

He's not looked his normal self at all - the all action style seems to be missing. I just wonder if he is carrying an injury. Wouldn't be the first time. He's still better than the vast majority but something seems to be lacking in his play. And of course we can't leave him out if so .

1 goal in 30 games is it?

[Billy Dane]

In the commentary Tyler pointed out Gerrard has only scored once against Chelsea. "was that the own goal?" smirked Andy Gray, the c***.

[muleskinner]

No need for him to play for England, Rafa should pull him out of the squad and get him rested.

I read some article on newsnow from a Chelsea site that said he'd been playing patched up.

Certainly looked it today.

I hope the whole team dies so we can start again in time for next week

Yeah at Anfield.

I hope you don't include young spearing there, he is the future

[Nebraska Red]

I saw something on newsnow that said that Gerrards needs an op to sort out a problem and tha t** was scheduled for the international break.

 

I dismissed as the usual speculation, but he has not looked himself lately.

[mathewbet1]

He's not as free flowing in his movements recently, he looks slightly stiff. Not moving in his normal way. Somthings up.

lets not make excuses for him he's fit enough to play so he must be fit and he was rubbish.

I don't think people are making excuses for him.

 

He is always dreadful against Chelsea, it has gone beyond a joke, but he hasn't really hit his straps all season (he was immense against Burnley but I can't remember too many other Gerrard-esque performances).

 

Given the quality of the player and the time for which his dip in form has lasted, it isnunderstandable that people start to wonder about an injury. It doesn't mean he is injured, but it is hardly making excuses for him.

[Flasher]

I've thought for a while that he does not look 100%. I say that as I thik he looks slightly heavier than normal, and a bit slower as a result. Maybe he's not able to train as hard for some reason, or maybe his pre-season was disrupted too much by the court case so he's still catching up?

[growler]

I would think that once Aqui is up and running, Gerrard may get rested, operated on, or whatever is required to fix his issues.
