Gerrard deserves all the good comments anyone says about him! He is a team player and has talent but most importantly he has a never surrender heart! Anyways cronaldo made a deal with nike to not show his real times in the speed tests, why? Oh, I get it, cuz he’s far from being the fastest, that’s why he always stays away from sprint competitions, well except for that fake car race, can’t even beat rosicky lol! Anyways messi IS currently the best player in the world!

Why are Man U fan’s so surprised that we like talking about Stevie G! It should be no surprise as without him we wouldn’t have one either the Champions League or FA Cup finals. He’s also one of the best midfielders in the world imo.
That said Karl does have a point that i agreed with. A team is made up of 11 players and Gerrard is not the only essential person in the team. After all we won the last three games without him! If any thing the most important summer addition is probably the continued presence of Rafa

You know, you guys are right. I am wrong. I’ve been living in self-denail all this time. Gerrard is the best footballer in the universe (and the most cleverest as well).
He is the most complete CM in the world. He is the best Right-winger and Left-winger at liverpool (in other words, Europe). Should he decide to play defence, I’m sure he will end up being the best there, just as we all know he would become the best striker should stupid Rafa get some common-sense and decide to play him there.
Now, all Liverpool need to win the league is to get 10 more of him during the January transfer window.

Karl wasn’t that Alonso that Fletcher humbled?

I think it has to do obsessing about Gerrard the way one obsesses about that girl who dumped you in college. It’s unhealthy, and it holds you back from fulfilling your potential (in this case, it’s holding Liverpool back).

Hey Karl, why are you showing them the right path?

Or is this reverse psychology, get them to love Stevie G even more so they crash and burn?

clever man…

Fletcher??? Karl are you serious Gerrard was marking Ronaldo on the left and when he shifted to the right played up the wing fletcher barely even saw Gerrard wtf

I don’t see whats wrong with comparing Gerrard to Kaka apart from Gerrard having proven himself more. The fact is Gerrard has far more haters than kaka and will always be critisized.

You United fans say Ronaldo is in the top 20 players in the world but we don’t diss that he is alright but i will let you have your view?

Stevie G without a doubt is the best Central Midfielder in the world. First and foremost, he is the best passer in the premiership. He produces killer balls week in week out. I was at the england game last night, and although gerrard wasnt at his best, he still showed his class with some great balls to owen and wright-phillips. How can you sit there and compare Essien to gerrard. What has essien done?? When Viera and Keane dominated gerrard he was 22. Now look hes 26 and grown up from those games. He can shoot, tackle, run with the ball, pass. All round best player in the world.
STEVIE G EVERYTIME

Sean, what I meant was that he doesnt seem to play very well for England (where he doesnt have Xabi Alonso around to do his job for him). For all his strengths he gives the ball away far too much, which everyone turns a blind eye to, including shockingly the BBC. Everyone I was with yesterday said he was our worst midfielder yesterday, it was Barry who was making things happen.

I knew it would only be so long before all the stupid comments started croping up. I cant believe the way knowledgable people kid themselves this guy is better than people like Kaka or Ronaldinho, just because he runs more to compensate for how much he gives the ball away. The one time Gerrard and Kaka were paired up one on one (the first half in the 2005 CL) Kaka dominated gerrard, just like Vieira, Keane and even Maniche regularly have in the past. Once Gerrards up against teams and midfielders who he cant dominate physically hes usually not very good.

The Liverpool fans who belittle their own Manager and players (Hamman, Alonso, Hypia, Garcia) and completely overlook some of the fundamental aspects of the game just to prove their point are pathetic. Hes not the best, get over it.

“For the record Stevie G was World Player of the Year in 2005″

As far as I know, it was Ronaldinho.

Why don’t you guys compare Gerrard with Essien or Vierra?

By comparing him to Kaka and then showing he outclassed Kaka, you’re actually – perhaps un-intentionally trying to state that he’s the best on this planet.
Eg.
“…gerrard was put in a defensive role (big suprise) he nightmared kaka and ronaldinho so you can see he is close.” AND
“Did anyone not see Gerrard embarass Kaka in the recent England Brazil game?!?”

The Pool/United game, Fletcher nightmared and emarrased Gerrard. Does that mean he is close to or better than Gerrard?
——-
“…scores last minute goals that save major games, inside the box, headers and then the blockbusters! Add to the fact his wide passing and accuracy to pick out a man plus his inspirational leadership abilities…”
AND if this isn’t enough, you can always count on him to ‘take a dive for the team’.
