"He has played in numerous positions before and it's another string to his bow.
"It's a position that's not new to him as he's played there on a number of occasions, particularly for England, so I think he'll only get better at it."
Gerrard has clocked up 20 Premier League appearances for Liverpool so far this season, chipping in with six goals and seven assists, as the Reds put in a serious tilt at a top four spot.
The midfielder is under contract until 2015 at Anfield.
