Gerrard likely to remain on the right

Gerrard, who played on the right side of midfield during the treble season of 2001, was moved to the right for the West Ham and Anderlecht games and is now likely to remain there until the Reds can sign a right winger during the transfer window.

"Steve is happy there, he understands the tactics and he is always thinking about the benefits to the team," said Rafael Benitez.
 
"He knows it is important for us to have this balance and okay, it will be another possibility for me to consider.
 
"With Steve on the right side he has a lot of freedom, we then have more options there.
 
"We can also play Sissoko and Alonso together in the middle and it means we are able to regain a lot of possession and attack well, while with Luis Garcia on the left we have a winger that allows us to play two strikers, attacking players behind the front men and a better balance.
 
"It is also important to us to have all these players with quality together. Steve is a good player and to be able to have him playing with Alonso, Luis Garcia and two strikers means it is a more offensive team."
