Gerrard is still our best individual player. The problem is he doesn't suit the style of play and when he is played its in the wrong area of the pitch. If we're going to play him then push him forward where his lack of legs won't be such a issue, don't play in a critical holding role.

No he isn't.

Agree that he doesn't suit our style of play but what else can we do? He still struggles in an advanced position.

He was once the best individual player - but he has regressed in all aspects,

Coutinho, Sterling, Sturridge are our best individuals.

I guess it depends what you mean by best.

Coutinho and Sterling are far too inconsistent and Sturridge is too injury prone. Gerrard is consistent and hardly ever injured. As far as all round game goes, no one in the squad is better than Gerrard. IMO, Gerrrad is still the best individual which is more to do with our poor squad than Gerrards ability.

Gerrard is consistent in being average and detrimental to this team.

Gerrard's all round game - he's poor defensively, wastes possession, cannot press, and only seems to get involved when no one presses him - put one man on him in area of the pitch and he's anonymous.

Sterling and Coutinho have all contributed more than him, and are technically better than at this moment in time.

Made me laugh on Talksport yesterday. The presenters were claiming he's not joined as a fourth choice striker, he'll be second choice to Aguero and ahead of Dzeko and Jovetic <laugh>

No idea what you're laughing at as he will be.

He's way better than the pair of them, a fact proven by his PL goal stats, playing in an inferior side.

All because he's being played in the wrong position! IE, he no longer suits our style <doh>
 
There are a few players who HAVE to be starting most games:

Sakho
Can
Moreno
Manquillo (he won't get the chance to for whatever reason)
Hendo
Lucas
Sterling
Coutinho
Sturridge

Gerrard is nowhere near this list.

I had done, he'll be second choice behind Aguero imo.

I also don't think Pelligrini will part with Jovetic as he seems to rate him ahead of Dzeko. If anyone leaves it'll be him, but not until the summer.

Fair enough. I don't think Bony would play much if every was fit. TBF, you saying he is second choice could still see the same thing since they usually play one up top with Silva, Nasri or Toure just behind.

And I was laughing because they was saying there is no question about it when clearly it is debateable.

I think Bony will fit into City's side perfectly, he holds the ball up well, lays it off nicely, is great in the air, and can finish from anywhere in and around the box. He's not the quickest, but City have bags of pace in other areas and play most of their games on the front foot anyway. He'll prove to be great addition.

****ing hack <laugh>
 
Bony is surprisingly quick - he doesnt have the acceleration but he can build up some pace.

He's quite versatile in that he can suit different styles. But I'm not convinced he will be starting many matches. He is certainly ahead of Jovetic and Dzeko.
