Steven Gerrard

[fidget]

Another in a string of abject performances

[danperkins]

Played in the same role that he has had a nightmare in all season long. Does him no favours & does the defence no favours. Anonymous.

Has done even less after being dropped in Madrid

I think that we need to do with Gerrard what Man Utd were doing with Giggs for the last five years, he can't play game after game. We need to firstly get him to accept this and then pick which games we want him to play in and let him go all out in those games knowing he will have a week or so to recover. For me playing him in his best role for 1 game in 3 is better than playing him for 3 games in the role he's in at the moment.

He's had some good performances since then, just isn't the players he was.

His best role is off the bench and he can still do that every game.

He was like a ghost today, completely invisible.

What's got me the most is that he's lost his passion, he very rarely if ever steams into tackles anymore, his fight has gone completely.

Today he was just wandering around aimlessly, doesn't help again that he's being played in a role that just doesn't suit him or the team but he's gone dog**** this season.

Looks dead.

Please, legend that's he is, no excuses.......today he was completely lacking in every department.

Love him to bits but please No. 8, your time is up please come come in!!!

[BootRoom]

Time to give him a brisk handshake and thank him for his stellar contribution.

[baitman]

brendan, did you not see how lucas helped steady the defence and gerrard looked like he could be less of a liability/make more of a worthy contribution further up the pitch.

if you do this again then

We look a much better functioning side with him on the bench dont we

Im coming to the sad realisation that Steven Gerrard is no longer integral to the success of the club on the pitch

I want him to stay forever and just come on to take free kicks.

[Tee]

It's sad but the reality is he will be gradually eased out and I am just happy we seem so fluid and positive without him. I actually think the fact he is not there in the centre has created space for Coutinho to function and control the game. Still, the greatest ever English player and am gutted his days are coming to a slow end.

Best player I have seen in a Red Shirt, and probably will go down as the best ever.

This is the sort of player you have a statue off and tell stories to your kids in 30 years time!

[Shaggy]

He should stay on the bench for Leicester but I think we'd all be staggered if that were the case. He'll walk back in.

You are allowed to say something negative about Steven Gerrard without balancing it with a "but he was totally amazing, wasn't he?"

He's not as good as he was, so what? He's getting older. Even Maradona had to stop playing y'know!
