Gerrard said the intruder was not particularly decorative. The intruder then stated that that also went for Gerrard, and that he, the intruder, only had to wear specs and he would be enough like Gerrard to get away with it. Gerrard asked the intruder about his clothes, saying they would let him down if he were not careful.

Explanation:

Indirect speech is used to report what someone said. Verbs such as "say", "tell", "ask", "inquire", and "order", among others, are commonly used. In general, when we report, we use the past tense of the original tense used by the speaker. For instance, if the speaker used the simple present, we normally report it in the simple past. If the speaker used the present perfect, we use the past perfect. We also eliminate quotation marks and change the pronoun that refers to the subject ("I" usually becomes "he" or "she"; "we" usually becomes "they"). If expressions of time were used, we must also see that they change accordingly ("yesterday" becomes "the day before")
