Gerrard In or Out?

Playing both Ings and Watkins ahead of Buendia, causes me to question his judgement.

I hope he learns but... surely he has seen against Burnley, Liverpool and again today that when Buendia is in the team we are a very progressive team so why does  he keeps starting games with the wrong formation?

It baffles me.

I noticed early on with Gerrard when he came there is a discrepancy between what he says and what we actually do.
Be wary of this. He'll keep talking to impress and he's very staged in my mind's eye because he's had a life time of being media trained to the hilt.
Something to keep eyes and ears on
Look and listen as he would say.
So when people say they like how he talks we'll ask yourself what is it you like and is it translating to anything other than what an MP would be spinning

I just hope we have not got another slow learning Manager.

Gerrard has four big calls to make in the summer

1. Defensive midfielder is key to all of the formations we can play. Getting the right one will be the making of him.

2. To balance that he’ll need pick two from Doug, SJM and JJ to play in midfield. Bye bye sanson.

3. Emi and Phil. Get point 1 right and he can play both. If not he has a big job in keeping the both happy.

4. Oli/Ings I’m not sure about either of them, particularly with SG’s wingless set-ups. I can see a benteke type player coming in, big, strong, can hold up the ball.

Big calls for a rookie premier league manager with +£100m to spend..

I'm concerned with our shape and tactics rather than our playing squad.If this no.2 Beale (?) is supposed to be this tactical guru, well I'm not seeing it.

Don't see much tactically wrong. See plenty wrong with our finishing and general ability to keep the ball.

Please use the other Gerrard thread for the time being. I'm sure this one will require unlocking at some point in the future.
