Liverpool legend John Barnes feels Steven Gerrard is a natural as a defensive midfielder.Barnes believes that if history had travelled a different course, then Gerrard might have made a career out of the holding position in the Liverpool team.I have said this all along to people, Barnes told Liverpoolfc. I remember speaking to Didi Hamann about it, because Didi didnt know Steven Gerrard as a young kid who was able to do that.When he came, Steven was an all-attacking midfield player, and Didi is surprised that Steven can do this. Im not surprised at all. I knew Steven when he was a young boy, in my last year at Liverpool.If it had been decided, he decided or it was decided for Steven as a 16-year-old, to be a holding midfield player, he would have been the best holding midfield player in the country, the best defensive midfield player in the country.What was decided, either by him or the club, was that he would be an attacking midfield player, so he became the best attacking midfield player in the country.So this is not a role that is alien to Steven, this is not a role that Steven cant do to a world-class proportion. So it doesnt surprise me at all that he has done it, because its very natural for him to do it as he gets older.He has been the best defensive midfield player in the country. People may have been shocked by that, but Im not. #adminbally
