Reading too much into it.
I think Gerrard has actually improved his corners over the past year.
As for playing deep, doesn't he actually prefer playing in a more advance role anyway?
Not-withstanding the wank tactics, Roy had every right to expect that team to beat Northampton. Like he said today, he's learned a thing or two about some of our so-called first teamers from that performance. They shouldn't even need managing through a game like that. We should have had enough quality and passion to blow them away even if Stan Collymore was the manager. He was let down badly.
I'm not defending the game, or how it was played, but I can understand why Roy approached it like he did.
