Liverpool legend Hansen: Gerrard will drive Reds to title

Liverpool legend Alan Hansen has hailed the impact of Steven Gerrard in his deeper role this season.

Hansen says the midfielder reminds him of one of one of Liverpool's all-time greats now he has switched to a new holding role.

"When he played further forward he used to rush from A to B to C and then back to A again," Hansen wrote in the Telegraph.

"But now he has taken a more disciplined role, sitting in the hole in a similar position to the one where Graeme Souness played so well.

"[The Chelsea match] has the look of a title decider about it but with Gerrard in this sort of form, Liverpool could take a massive step towards ending their 24-year wait."
