Jimzk5 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Understandably the debate on where Gerrard ranks as a footballer has begun. He should go down as a great. I'd go further... I believe he is Liverpool's greatest, ahead of King Kenny himself. In terms of the top modern day Premier League midfielders, Gerrard is in the conversation alongside Roy Keane, Paul Scholes, Frank Lampard and Patrick Vieira. It's worth noting over his entire Liverpool career Gerrard played with a handful of world class stars. The other four teamed up with that number virtually every week. Keane, Scholes, Lampard and Vieira were outstanding at different things. Gerrard, at his best, was outstanding at everything; scoring goals from inside and outside the box, passing, tackling, heading, defending and he was as accurate at crossing and as dangerous from set-pieces as David Beckham. Man United fans may disagree but in many ways Gerrard was like Keane, Scholes and Becks rolled into one. http://m.independent.ie/sport/soccer/premier-league/comment-liverpools-steven-gerrard-was-paul-scholes-roy-keane-and-david-beckham-in-one-31224795.html Bleurgh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I hope the American media are relentlessly brutal with Gerrard. He's had a free rise here his entire career. they will be, he is replacing Donovan as a DP so isnt replacing a journeyman in the squad and they wont be afraid to tell him he is shit. Also be in Robbie Keane's shadow at LA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 On sky's advert they've got souness saying "probably the best player for 7 or 8 years of his career" There's no context to it, must be from a longer interview, I hope for his own sake he's not suggesting that he's been the leagues best player 7 or 8 times in his career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 For a "top player" which he is, Gerrard hasn't half made some cock ups in his career. Aside from the hilarious slip, he's also scored an own goal in a major cup final, been sent off after 30 seconds in Liverpool's biggest game of the season which was ridiculous and anyone remember England-France at euro 2004 when he hilariously passed the ball to Henry in the last minute who scored. He then did the same thing the next season and also in a Liverpool-Chelsea game towards the end of the 2010 season which Drogba scored from and pretty much won Chelsea the league.

He's a Jack of All Trades. Exactly what I'd expect from someone who refers to Dalglish as 'King Kenny' though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
