Gerrard playing in the hole

Again?

[Compo's Hat]

Sitting deeper in a 'quarter back role' playing balls from that role.

Could be looking at options for if Barry doesn't make it.

[Thomas L'Heureux]

Adam Johnson looks sh1t hot in training...

He should honestly be starting, he delivers the best cross in the squad.

No as in behind Rooney so more of an attacking free role.

Not from what i've read today on Twitter.

OliverKayTimes Watching England training in Irdning. Gerrard pinging passes around from deeper midfield role. Interesting. #WC2010

HenryWinter #Gerrard in back-to-back sessions, instead of gym. Outstanding in deep mid, spraying passes l & r. Lamps-Gerrard if Barry out & Milner left?

Gerrard gets pretty cross if you don't play Phil Collins

Mate who is there > Twitter

but having re-read is mail maybe I misinterpreted floating role. He's back in the office tomorrow so will find out more then.

[Compo's Hat]

You do realise those tweets are from people who are there

[Seal]

Yes. Thanks for that.

However, hearing first hand from someone who was there is just slightly superior to sitting in your pants with your laptop, reading one line posts by some journo on their blackberry.

For what it's worth, the floating role Gerrard has was in a 5 v 5s game, Gerrard was the extra man in a different coloured bib, playing as the extra man for the team in possession. They then switched to larger sized games, and Gerrard played both in the 'quarterback' position, and behind the front man.

Johnson was apparently absolutely skinning Carragher (who looked very poor, as did Walcott and SWP).

[Wax Jacket]

nope it's not superior at all, it's exactly the same to a hobnobber. in fact the journos are probably a bit better.

I heard the other day that Barry has very little chance of being fit.

That also goes with the stories all over the press that Hargreaves was going to be called up instead but when Cappello spoke with Sir Alex he was told Hargreaves had even less of a chance.

Gerrard deep with Milner on the left is interesting.

There seems to be a lot of talking about moving away from the system we used in the qualifying. I'd stick with it myself, worked well, Heskey up front. Lennon to start on the right with Johnson as super sub....

[No Fixed Abode]

Does Gerrard really deserve his place in the starting line up?

[Wax Jacket]

^nope

Why would someone make up sh1t like that. Seriously I don't know what you chaps do with your time but I have far better things to do than make up random pieces of information.

There is this weird phenomenon on here that people seem to resent that fact that someone else may have something genuine to share, which may or may not be of interest (you don't have to read it if not). There's always this desire to discredit or belittle, and it's pretty boring.

[papereyes]

If England line up with Lampard and Gerrard together in the centre of midfield then LOL

[Row Z Royal]

Depends of the formation.

completely agreed. the midfield format that led Sven to no trophies and Mclaren to no tournaments.

But it's ok for you to patronise compo's hat for getting his info off twitter?

[Smoking Kills Dancing Doe]

I dunno Cappello will have to bollox to tell Stevie to play the holding role, rather than all the 'release the G force' crap we had under Sven.

With no Barry/Hargreaves, Gerrard is the best option.
