Would you play

Gerrard on sat?

It seems that Mcclaren is willing to risk him.

Myself I would not, we have players who SHOULD be able to do the job on sat without risking him for Russia

If my job was on the line I would play my best player yes

But wouldnt it make it more likely he would lose his job if Gerrard breaks down?

Maybe McClaren can get Heskey to cup Gerrards feet with both his hands, then do that weird shit blowing bees into the air

Agreed. Theoretcially at least, Russia will be a more difficult proposition than Israel, so I'd prefer to hold him back. Maybe have him on the bench just in case things are going tits up on Saturday?

Gerrard now passed fit.

McClaren also said under-fire keeper Paul Robinson will play despite his mistake against Germany in August

good

bloody right i'd play gerrard.
give him the bloody injection and be done with it.

an injured gerrard is still a better player than a fit lampard imo

The injection could risk him long term.

I am sure he would have done, if had he not been nicked on the way to the stadium for speeding.
