Steven Gerrard

[Leyton388]

Who's going to bail us out next season?

The thought of Fabian ****ing Delph being stevie's replacement makes me sick.

[Kenneth]

But he can't find the net.

Steven did twice, and cleared a ball off the line.

I know, I watched it.

[baitman]

it would be nice for gerrard to be able to go knowing we had adequately replaced his contributions but we really dont have another player who is as good as him.

he might not have the legs to do the running or pressing but with enough runners around him he is well worth his starting place to help distribute the ball and keep things ticking over around the box.

Aye - come the sticky situation, so to speak, 11 players will look around the pitch at one another and not see SG and know they are ordinary.

Too many internet 'experts' on here too willing to have a go at SG too readily. Without a big spend to replace him (or beg or bribe him to stay on) I just see us as perpetual mid-table mediocrity.

[Kenneth]

Still our best player. Maybe he was just out of form and is now coming back into it.

Seriously? Be realistic, there are two factors, firstly we were playing League Two opposition, and secondly he bust a gut to get to the header because he's interested in playing again now that he's decided he's leaving, whereas he's looked distinctively not arsed for the majority of the season to date.

Not arsed? Give a rest Kenneth, your talking **** now

Didn't look past it last season when we were flying. I can't wait to see the same people who Say he should go bemoaning his loss next season. No Stevie G tonight and we would have been out the FA cup.

They will know that they won't be able to hide behind Gerrard when the flack comes and will react, as they have when he's not been playing this season.

One announcement and one reasonable performance against a League Two side and people go completely OTT.

You don't half chat some **** at times lad.

So without him, we are ****ed against league two opposition.
And every player should bust a gut every game.

And your second point is frankly, utter bollocks.

[Kenneth]

You've gone all mushy from the gushing this week and are completely ignoring what has been happening on the pitch.

Hard to see how we replace a performance like tonight - 2 vital goals.

It seems bizarre that he is leaving, I mean he doesn't work as a sitting midfielder, but you can see his quality tonight. The way Utd handled Giggs retirement would have been perfect for Gerrard... Just manage his games.

[Kenneth]

No it's not. He's looked a shadow of his former self for most of the season, letting players run past him etc.

****ing hell Kenneth. Seriously?!

[Kenneth]

****ing hell Kenneth. Seriously?!

Of course. He will be a lot more driven between now and the end of the season than he has shown so far.
