As for Ash, he did ok at left back last season when called upon. It was just when he was needlessly put into midfield that he looked past it.

That was one of the things I think Gerrard got wrong, bringing him on in midfield especially when we were winning. But that aside, he's clearly a good bloke to have around the place and I think Gerrard sees him as a link between himself and the rest of the team.
The senior player. Good to have in the dressing room making sure the younger players know what they're doing and have someone to look up to. I believe Gabby had the same role a few years back. Or was that being off his tits in Dubai? *shudder*
Well that's the £200+ increase on zone 6 seats justifiedExciting times
Always felt SG wants to keep Ashley and bring him in to the coaching team. Nothing has changed. My only concern is SG thinks Ashley can play in a more advanced role. He can't. He's at best a cover for Digne. If we bring in another left back I can't see the surpose of giving him an additional year. Expect him to get his coaching badges this season.
