Pool have many other threats to offer tha Gerrard ... true, he is their inspiration and if we make him go AWOL, the others may very well feel lost out there but still, taking control on the midfield as a whole should be our aim.
I think Pool's best chance to cope with Milan's mid, to an extent, would be playing a 5-men mid with Mascherano and Alonsi behind Gerrard but this could isolate Gerrard as it might push him a bit too forward and into the hands of Milan's defense and midfield ... so, I would guess he would fall deeper into midifeld to try to find some space and time to orchestrate their play.
Just guesses ... we'll see in an hour or two.
