Stevie Gs new role? Hell get even better Mike Marsh believes Steven Gerrard is perfectly suited to play in the deep-lying midfield position and claims Brendan Rodgers may well have pulled off a master stroke utilising his skipper in this role. The first-team coach admits the new responsibility is not alien to the inspirational Scouser having excelled there at international level - but claims he could play anywhere in the side, anyway. Hes a world-class player, Marsh told Liverpoolfc. He has played in numerous positions before and its another string to his bow. Its a position thats not new to him as hes played there on a number of occasions, particularly for England, so I think hell only get better at it. Marsh cited Gerrards display in the Merseyside derby as a clear indication of what his new role can bring to the team. He added: I thought Stevie was outstanding on the night and you could see what the occasion meant to him from the way he celebrated his goal. I think he set me off actually! Weve got a number of players who can play in that position and it just shows you what the manager thinks of Steven playing him in this new role.
