Steven Gerrard – superstar striker

[Neil Young]

Striker/forward/offensive libero ...it's just semantics really. 'Attacker' is probably the most succinct and to the point. The point is he is a now a bona-fide attacking player, and one half of the world's most potent front pair.

I like a front pair.

Steven Gerrard = director of football

He is also England's best RB and RW.

He's probably the best player in every position, even goalie. Most underrated player in history, IMO.

[wiw]

He plays 'between the lines', no?

I just think he's the best footballer in the world.Infact,I will go as far as saying the very best I have ever seen.

id class him as an attacking mid, though he'll be **** there for england and everyone will say why doesn't he produce his club form for england, basically because fernando torres is spanish!

He's englands most naturally gifted attacker yet they refuse to base the attack around him and would rather accomadate rooney!

This isn't anything related to how great he is. He's also dependent on playing in a great team and he's been the one standing out for a long time in ours, until Rafa came, created a better team and gave him a new lease of life in terms of his position / tactical awareness etc ...

Independently on if he wins a league title or not, for me he's our greatest player of all time. Kenny came into a stable team, one which was dominating the english game. He only had to showcase his talents.

I thought you didnt like it when people cant accept a different viewpoint and insist on trying to change it?

The most important thing about Stevie is that he is OURS!

He's a Midforward!

Rooney was at his best for England in Euro 2004 when he played as an out and out striker. Put Rooney up top and Gerrard just behind and ngland have the start of something special. Gerrard and Rooney are good pals so I would expect both to click instantly.

------------------Green--------------------
Richards---Terry-----Ferdinand------Cole
--------------Barry------Lampard------------
Walcott---------Gerrard-----------Young----
---------------------Rooney-----------------

That line up, considering all were fit and on form would be excellent by the time the world cup comes along. Pace on the flanks, great dribblers and a very good goal threat from all areas on the pitch.

For now I'd have Brown at RB, Baines at LB (deserves chance) Downing LW and Lennon at RW. Then theres players like Joe Cole to come back and Michael Owen who could yet have a great season next year. Plus Becks for set pieces if nothing is going right. Possily Ben Foster could sneak in if he is Mancs Number 1 next year.

He's a Midforward!

That's it!

But my original post was, for once, pretty much entirely on topic.

All the same when it comes to thread hijacks, I agree, we

I just think you're missing the point and evaluating him as a player wrongly that is all.
