gerrard is very crucial to us, but we can play well without him. Albeit differently. hamman, alonso, sissoko can play centre comfortably, kewell left, and garcia right...thats three centres and 2 sided players, anyway.
it just seemed to me that rooney was holding together a team that wasnt together (im always going to be critical of your defence, rio will once again be hailed a hero for being in the right place at the right time and popping up with a header that agve you the win)
i feel sorry for manyoo as rooney seemed to be almost running the midfield aswell as striking (and the defending that i said before). Having Giggs and Fletcher in the centre didnt help either, maybe ol fergie got rooney to cover aswell...
lol, i liked the comment that was made on tv
"if you had liverpools defensive line and midfield, and manchesters strike force, would you have a team capable of beating chelsea?"
"yes, i think so"
gawd...chelsea are good, but not immortal
