Four talking points from the Premier League game week 21

2. Age catching up with Ashley Cole and Steven Gerrard

Steven Gerrard

As this game week demonstrated, Steven Gerrard and Ashley Cole, both 33 and loyal servants of the English game are surely past their sell by date. The Chelsea left back provided nothing of great substance in the left flank and was constantly harassed by El Mohamedy’s pacy bursts and darts into the right flank. Gerrard too inexplicably played in a much deeper role. One thing is for sure, gone are the days where we will get to see those pile drivers and long range sharp shooters which almost tore apart the net at times. Goalkeepers would be relaxing and thanking their stars!
