Steven Gerrard
Steven Gerrard is arguably Liverpool’s most famous player of his generation and on talent alone is probably one of the most explosive and determined midfielders you can find in the world today.
He’s been misused for England and recently at Liverpool – his main talents in my view are running the show in midfield alongside a skillful passer like Pirlo who is able to float up and and down the pitch filling the gaps as well as creating opportunities for the rest of the team.
At Liverpool, he has Alonso to do that for him. In England, there’s only Carrick and he’s almost never picked to play alongside Gerrard.
Liverpool captain, Scouser for life and will probably never leave Liverpool, although he might have to if he wants to win the Premiership (then again, who knows?).
Kill, Marry or Shag: The Liverpool Midfield

England WAGs

Fernando Torres: Liverpool’s Gain, Chelsea’s Loss
Failure to find the back of the net once again, this time versus Wigan, has seen the goal drought of Fernando Torres extend to a remarkable twelve (12) hours. I had concerns about Torres’ transfer to Chelsea in the first place and now that the Spaniard is continuing to frustrate in front of goal, I’ve…
Chelsea’s Number 9: Nine Games, 0 Goals. Why isn’t Torres scoring?
Fernando Torres has now gone nine Chelsea appearances without scoring a single goal. He has appeared three times in the Champions League and made six appearances in the Premiership where he has started all but one league game. So why is El Nino failing to live up to his prolific goal scoring reputation? Just like…
Can Poor England Beat Broken Wales?
Saturday afternoon sees Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium play host to one of the biggest International rivalries around in a 2012 European Championships Qualifier.

WAGs of Liverpool: The Red’s Women
Lets face it, things haven’t been going too well at Anfield lately. Last season ended at a disappointing 7th spot and this season, things are still not as bright as the fans would have hoped for.
