Where did he play when he scored two in England's last game?
Out of interest.

You also got remember Gerrard is 30 and Schweinsteiger is 26, so it was easier for him to make the transition to centre mid also Benitez put gerrard in AMC for his attacking capabilities and and it has worked for him as seen in 2008-9 season.
But i think now that Coles at liverpool you can play gerrard as a CM ,however i think if gerrard need someone like Mascherano who can do his DM role very well alongside him to compensate but hes left i dont think Lucas is good enough so maybe Poulsen could do it.
But is depends on the player next to Gerrard if he is played as a centre mid.

amc my friend we had switched back to 4-2-3-1 from 4-4-2
He's been playing on the left lately for England, but generally has played in the centre for England a fair bit.

Hmm,
Well I think that you will get his individual talent in the headlines while playing acm. eg. he will score more goals.
But I feel he will bring others into play, controll the midfield from cm, allowing others to grab the headlines.
If you have another player to controll midfield in cm then by all means play him acm.
However i don't think Liverpool have anyone else to do that job, thus he plays there.
a long time ago.
anyway ive said what i needed to. gerrard can play there if he is willing to change certain parts of his play, and work really hard at it. but right now he isnt a central mid (at least particularly good there). im not talking about filling in and doing a job (which he can, gerrard do a job pretty much anywhere), but in being a real central midfielder, which requires a fundamental change in his mindest. if it happens then great for liverpool and even better for england

well merieles arrives on monday if his medical goes well, so we shall see how roy lines it up
Those of you saying Gerrard's best position is CM, are you blind?! As world class as he is an attacking midfielder just behind Torres he is a very average Central Midfielder.
His passing, both long and short, is hit and miss - He will hit 1 top ball out of about 10 and the commentators will remember that one, not the 9 he banged for a throw in. Also the man has no discipline whilst playing the central midfield role, he bombs forward and has to leave Lucas to play against 2/3 midfielders.
Dont get me wrong but Steven Gerrard = World Class AMC, distinctly average CM.
