Jonathan Woodgate says Middlesbrough must stop Steven Gerrard to stand any chance against Liverpool this weekend.
The Boro defender believes the Reds have some "phenomenal" players but identified the skipper as the main threat at the Riverside.
"I know Craig Bellamy well and with the likes of Kuyt and Fowler, Liverpool have got some fantastic talent," said Woodgate.
"But without doubt, the main man is Steven Gerrard and we have got to stop him.
"They have not won on the road for a few games now, but they are still one of the best teams in the country and two years ago, they showed they were the best team in Europe.
"Some of the players are phenomenal. It will be a hard game for us, but we need to make it hard for them also."
Good on yeah Woody lad, always been a big admirer of the guy, just a pity you aren't guarenteed he'll stay fit for a lengthly period.
Rafa's also gone and record saying he likes Woody, stays fit this season could you see Rafa looking at him?
