I have no doubt that Gerrard is a world class footballer, but he is not a world class central midfielder. He lacks the discipline, he can do brilliant things when you take away some of the responsibility to defend, surging runs, powerful shot, good crosser of a ball. That is why they play him wide, to give him the freedom to do what he is best at, play in spurts of occasional brilliance.
If you compare him to Keane he has more talent, but he can not control a game tot he same extent. He lacks patience in his passing, always going for the glory pass, cheaply giving the ball away, that is one of the reasons why Beckham never worked in the center either, obsessed with the long pass.
