I don't know what game you were watching, but it certainly wasn't what the rest of us were. For 10 minutes the midfield showed control, from there on, it was shambles like the last month. Gerrard is either grossly unift orgorssly out of form, but in either case, needs to be dropped, for the team and the player. Mascherano has been having to carry him in the middle of the park, as have his team mates, epitomised by his substitution on his biggest match this season. Kuyt was the only man prepared to make the link between midfield and attack. As a striker, this shouldn't be his job (all the time), yet he was the only one with the work rate to do so. The wide-men were picked for their pace to worry the Turkish line and they certainly did that - given the sparse service they received. They didn't have many end products, but...then again, it's Babel and Pennant, what did you expect? Hyypia is certainly not the main problem, in fact his presence has galvanised a frailing defence. Arbeloa has been missed badly, but Hyypia, with all his experience and positioning (he's never relied on his pace) has given at least a shred of reassurance to the back line.
