According to ESPN he has 5 assists which puts him joint top in the league.Originally posted by cream View PostHow many assists does he have so far ?
He's the best of our midfielders, just needs a couple better midfielders to play alongside than the current crop.
http://espnfc.com/stats/assists/_/le...league?cc=5739The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

Originally posted by Big-Red-Ed View PostI can't fathom the negativity towards Gerrard lately. I thought he played well, set up goals, what more do you want? I think it has become trendy to give him a kicking. It is downright disrespectful. He may not be a force of nature anymore but who in the squad in the middle are we suggesting is better?Originally posted by Exiled_red View PostI may be in the minority but I didn't think Gerrard was poor yesterday, admittedly he wasn't great either. I think the problem is we have such high expectations of him. He created a few decent chances from set pieces and from open play yesterday, and has been doing the same all season. We need to accept that he isn't playing the same role he was 4 years ago and we won't see the same tangible output that we used to because of it.
Gerrard is still a top class player, some of the comments on here are embarrassing imo.

Gerrard has been an assist machine but gives next to nothing going in the other direction especially when we are under the cosh. I think some people (not me) think maybe if we had a central midfield which isn't as creative but more aggressive and more mobile Liverpool would be better equipped to control the midfield and give our attackers a solid platform to attack with impunity.Originally posted by -V- View PostThe guy sets up half of our goals and yet some of you say he should be dropped!!!
For who exactly..........

Steven Gerrard could become a centre-back - Brendan Rodgers
Steven Gerrard could play as a central defender in the future, according to Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers.
Gerrard, 33, has been an influential midfielder at Anfield for more than a decade but Rodgers says the player could adapt to prolong his career.
"I look at Steven and I think he can play as a number two centre-half later in his career," the Reds boss said.

"You play against teams where they've got one up [front] and I think he can play as a right-sided centre-half."
Gerrard signed a new two-year contract in the summer that will see him stay at Liverpool beyond his 35th birthday.
The Liverpool and England captain, who made his club debut in 1998, has spent his whole career at Anfield and has won the Champions League, a Uefa Cup, two FA Cups and three League Cups so far.
And on the day that Manchester United midfielder Ryan Giggs turned 40, Rodgers outlined his plans for how Gerrard could extend his own playing time in the game by changing positions in the future.
"[He could] build the game from behind," said Rodgers. "How he passes the ball is as good as anyone in the world, short and long.
"So it's a possibility that he could go on, but it will all be determined by fitness.
"He is 34 at the end of this season, and I look at his fitness and I look at how he is playing and he is as fit as he has ever been. He is looking after himself.
"That player he was 10 years ago, dynamic and making those long bursting runs, of course that goes out of your game.
"Like you see with Ryan Giggs, you adapt and change."Klopp on LFC vs MUFC (March 9th 2016) - "This is why I love football. This is why we watched it when we were young. I can still not have enough of it."

Always, keep your face to the sun, and shadows will fall behind you.
