Let Gerrard Off His Leash

Mark Lawrenson, former number four Kop legend has named Steven Gerrard as the best player in the world.

Leo Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo? We can say that these players are quality players but there is one player that plays at his best when given the free role behind the striker. That one particular man, Steven Gerrard.

The role given to the Liverpool skipper behind Fernando Torres suits him right as he often tear opponents defenders apart with his pace and creativity.

It is often wondered why the Liverpool skipper is placed on the left and only wait until the opportunity to arises to shine. Fabio Capello should do the same as Rafa, let Gerrard off his leash.

Steven Gerrard's pace, drive and goals are an irresistable force for The Mighty Reds this season and it should also be the same for England.
