In contrast to all the ‘he needs more time’ line often heard
He isn’t comparing, ffs.This is exactly why Barasic and Grezda are getting under Gerrard's skin. This is exactly why Windass was shown the door.
They have ability, but they don't bring it to every single training session and that rubs off on other players.
Gerrard is here to win and if that means he upsets a few people then so be it.
Sir Alex Ferguson was the same. As soon as he felt you wasn't giving 100% - you was gone.
It's a bit much comparing Ferguson and Gerrard, but Gerrard is clearly aspiring to be the best he can and that's brilliant as far as I'm concerned.
Not necessarily. Giving everything in training every day doesn't instantly translate to top performances on the pitch – Davis being the perfect example at the moment. The guy is a top pro, you can guarantee he always gives 100%, but he still needed a bit of time to show it on the pitch.
