Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard believes he is "too versatile" and that has had an impact on his game.
Gerrard feels he's sacrificed his potential to fit in anywhere.
"I've paid the price for being able to do a decent job in other positions."
When David Beckham was out of the team, Steve McClaren believed Gerrard would fill in on the right and Rafael Benitez later also used that strategy, but the English midfielder believes he is at his best in the centre of pitch.

"I'll work hard, do my bit defensively and help the team, That's why managers do it to me, but it is affecting me."
"My game suffers when my position is changed, I'm a central midfielder and in the big games I want to play in the middle and show that I'm one of the very best in that position."
Gerrard had a go at his ex-England managers for misusing his ability.
"I've played in my favourite position for England five times in 68 games, What can you do? I go into training with England and try to prove myself every day."
"Every England manager I've worked under knows where I want to play, but they pick the formations and I play where I'm told."
Fair enough, Stevie G, You deserve to play where you fit in best.
