Steven Gerrard

[Tee]

I think it's very difficult to compare Steven Gerrard and Kenny Dalglish.

If you take it on trophies alone Dalgish is way ahead, but Dalglish was part of a team that had alot of other great players in it, and the success of that team was due to the strength of the team as a whole, admittedly Kenny was a key part of that team as well as a gret player in his own right.

Gerrard hasn't had the opportunity to be in a team of great players, for almost his whole time at LFC he's probably been one of the two best players in the team, with often the other players lacking in quality. Gerrard has had to be the one to make things happen because often there has been no one else.

Imagine Gerrard in those teams in the 80s.

...is the correct response.

It's pretty futile even trying to compare players from different eras. Kenny played in a team of Kings at a time when even a whisper of LFC would kill 99% of household germs.

Some people might say Billy Liddell was one of the greatest Liverpool players and he didn't win anything.

I was going to offer the flip side of that and say nobody won more than Phil Neal, but he's never mentioned as the greatest.

[Fernandinho]

No offence people but surely this thread should just be a bit of a tribute to Stevie G as opposed to a debate on whether he's more of a legend
than Kenny Dalglish and all that lark.

Top modding rudo!

[Vermilion]

Legend. They are; none more none less...just legends. different eras different challenges....uncomparable imo. Just legends.

Oh come on now, he's no Gareth Bale.

[Gaz]

I hate it when people use the phrase Mr Liverpool but if anyone is truly deserving of that moniker then it's definitely Stevie

[Slinky Skills]

Legend.

It will be sad day for LFC when Stevie stops playing.

[Neil Young]

Legend.

It will be sad day for LFC when Stevie stops playing.

Like it was every time he did it last season.

We should just feel privleged/blessed to have had so many great players playing for our club. Lets hope it continues and that Steven Gerrard is not the last.

No idea. Depressing isn't it. When this forum started I was 17. 33 now.

**** off, this forum hasnt been going 16 years

Imagine Gerrard in those teams in the 80s.

Bizarrely though, such was the qualities in those sides, Gerrard probably would've barely stood out

[Nick77]

for me - Not until he wins the league title

So did Kenny, Souness, Barnes, etc single handedly win titles as well to make them all better than Stevie?!
I don't think ANY other great has carried the club like Gerrard has - end of!
