Disagree completely. The complete midfielder should control the game from that position and everything should run through him. Thats something Gerrard fails to do consistently. Yes he can hit an amazing cross field ball, oir charge through on goal, but he fails to be the complete midfielder (like say, Seedorf, Fabregas, or Roy Keane) that you can build a team round.

He's much better in a position which requires less tactical sense and gives him the freedom to do these things - therefore operating frrom wide or tucked in behind a front man.

Liverpool look much stronger when they operate with two midfielders who play with their head (like Benitez aluded to last weekend) and hold the position, giving the team a lynchpin to play around and through.
