Gerrard said a couple of weeks ago he couldn’t expect his players, particularly Centre halves to play every week.
Well 2007/08 Cuellar played 65 games, a 38 year old Davie Weir 61. It is generally accepted centre halves play longer into their career than any other position.
Every match it is like a new team we are putting out.
I accept not much we can do with injuries and suspension but change for the sake is not what we are needing. The best teams have a settled defence, particularly in the centre. We are making too many changes that players aren’t building up any understanding. Today first half Grezda kept asking for the ball early and was having to check his runs as Tav thought it was balls to Candeias who generally cuts back or holds up for Tav to overlap.
It is almost like a team of strangers going out there every week. No understanding no chemistry what so ever.
Squad rotation was the reason despite Rainieri spending more than anyone at whilst at Chelsea by a considerable amount he won nothing. He then won the league with Leicester with one of the smallest squads in the Premiership.
