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?).
Cesc Fabregas, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard…Rafael van der Vaart?
When one looks to the Premier League to pick out the very best midfielders, a few names always come to the fore. Cesc Fabregas (Arsenal), Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), Frank Lampard (Chelsea) and Paul Scholes (Manchester United) are all phenomenal players with each and every one playing for one of the established powers of English football….

How Wayne Rooney Shed £12m In One Easy Step
Given his recent extra-marital misdemeanours, it should come as little surprise that Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney‘s intrinsic commercial value has – if you’ll excuse the unavoidable pun – waned of late. His recurring inability to regulate which orifices he crams his junk into has already cost Rooney one of his high-profile sponsors, after Coca-Cola…
Roy Hodgson’s Job At Liverpool Is Under Threat After Poor Start To The Season
Make no mistake about; six points from six games for a club with the stature of Liverpool is just not good enough. However, the most discouraging part of the Reds start to the season has been the manner of their performances; ranging from passable to abject.
Are Liverpool Using The Correct Formation?
Watching Liverpool thus far this season, it’s apparent that things are not how they are supposed to be. They are not scoring as they should and they are not really that convincing at the back. Roy Hodgson admitted that his transfer activity was a bit limited, but as they say, the show must go on….
What Next For Liverpool?
A new manager, yet a somewhat slow start to the season. New signings, yet a shortage of strikers. Hope, yet barely a reason to believe. What kind of season are Liverpool in for? The first four games of the season already paint a bleak picture for Roy Hodgson and his Reds. What has contributed to…
England: How To Win Our Support Back
England’s World Cup was a shambles. It’s been spoken about far too much since, so I’m not going to keep flogging the already heavily incapacitated horse like everyone else seems to. Instead, I’m looking at the aftermath of what may as well have been a squad holiday for England to South Africa, with a few…
England 4-0 Bulgaria: The Player Ratings
England relieved some of the pressure that had been mounting on their besieged manager Fabio Capello by getting their Euro 2012 qualifying campaign underway with a convincing victory, registering an emphatic win over Group G rivals Bulgaria at Wembley last night. On paper at least, Bulgaria represent one the biggest potential stumbling blocks in England’s…
The Super Injunction: Blackpool Wins? Pepe’s Howler And The Latest Super Injunction
Tangerine. Tangerine. Living Reflection from a Dream. Pretty much every single pundit and commentator had Blackpool’s Premier League stay pegged as a very short one. Almost everyone picked them to finish last and be relegated back to the Championship. In fact, before the start of the season, Racingbase had their odds of going down at…
Ten Premier League Milestones
1. Manchester United are only six points short of earning 1500 in the Premier League. With an average of 2.15 points per game, Alex Ferguson’s side are unsurprisingly the most successful team in the league’s 17-year history. 2. Kevin Davies needs to commit 34 more fouls to take his Premier League career total to 800….
