Lucas or Steven Gerrard (or even Emre Can) in the anchoring role?
“He[Lucas] will be in the plans [for Stoke City],” Rodgers said, but it’s not known if this means from the bench or from the start. At home, starting Lucas feels fairly negative, but it would enable Gerrard another chance further up the field. Our skipper did pretty well in a more advanced role midweek, and has struggled badly as an anchorman all season. Rodgers could still deploy Gerrard in a more offensive role if he selects Emre Can, too. Can started our last home match versus Chelsea, and definitely deserves another opportunity.
