There's a lot of people currently on the pitch for Liverpool who are just not pulling their weight
Not pulling their weight, or just not good enough for where Liverpool think they should be? Henderson, Sterling and Sturridge aside, the latter in my opinion.
Back to Gerrard..........I'd be loathe to drop him because I just have a feeling that we're going to need his mental ability to change a game. He can lift the team in a way that I don't think any other Liverpool player can although we should be trying to get Henderson or Lovren to step up.
He's lost that ability, he still has the mental attitude, but he no longer has the legs to take the game by the scruff of the neck like he used to - other than perhaps set pieces and maybe if he is allowed space from the edge of the box - it is much harder for him now to lead and inspire by example. Henderson is good but I can't see him taking over Gerrard's mantle as someone to light the spark when the chips are down. Stevie had something unique, probably borne of being a scouser (unlike most LFC fans) and playing for his home town team, it's rarely been seen in other players but it's fading fast and they need to bite the bullet, but keep playing him for me, the longer the better, I'm a bitter blue and if he holds them back that's great......he'll probably singlehandedly thwart Real Madrid and score the winner tonight now I've said that!!
Balotelli just needs time. He also needs to sort his head out
and sort out the hair on his head too, why can't he stick to one haircut? Good player but has been a loose canon consistently, if Rodgers can sort him out he will go a long way to proving he has something special
