After yesterday's game I think in a way it will be a positive when Gerrard moves on as it will allow us to give other players who may well be better suited to this system a chance.
No doubt he still provides moments of inspiration but his consistency has dropped (understandably) and was anonymous yesterday. One criticism of Rodgers would be to play to the match and not the occasion/sentiment!
Just a note of the 'horrific' summer many people (including me) suggested we had in terms of transfers. The likes of Can, Markovic and Moreno look good pieces of business and Lallana, injuries permitting, has also looked good. Overall, it has turned out a lot better than expected 3/4 months ago!
