    it was against Napoli in the Europa League - we were 1-0 down, playing ****e football under hodgson and Gerrard came on and scored a hattrick and just completely ran the show

    Look at the line-up! FFS, it's not hard to see how adding Ste into the mix would change things. Cantona had Buffon down as a water carrier, well Ste carried a bit more that night! When I saw Dossena's name I thought it was bad, but he was the best LB on the pitch (Except Ste of course) and playing for Napoli!

    Reminds me of the movie 300 when they meet the Arcadians. It may have been 11 v 11 but we only had 3 footballers starting that night.

    25 Reina
    02 G Johnson
    03 Konchesky
    16 Kyrgiakos
    23 Carragher
    04 Raul Meireles
    26 Spearing
    28 C Poulsen (Eccleston 65)
    33 Shelvey
    14 Jovanovic (Gerrard 46)
    24 Ngog (Lucas 82)

      I love the guy - he's the 'greatest' we've had in my opinion. Just everything adds up for him. Yes Suarez is a wonderful talent and a 'better' footballer than gerrard, but he was here what 2/3 years and jumped ship. Dalglish is amazing but it's slightly before my time so I am maybe biased, but he played in good sides. Gerrard's had to play with some ****ing donkeys at times.

      The things that put gerrard up there we all know - his ability, his pace, his strength, timing of tackles, passing, finishing, heading etc - he's one of the few players i'd say in the modern game who could have played pretty much any position and be the best player on the park. Ryan Giggs/Paul Scholes etc they might be wonderful ****ing talents, but stick them right back or centre half? no chance. I've seen gerrard play left mid, right mid, off the striker, cm, dm, rb, rwb etc etc and be class.

      The fact that he's a Liverpool lad, and joined the club as a boy and stayed here is whole career is also astonishing

      But another thing for me - it's not only the amount of goals, not only the ridiculous quality of the goals but also the timing/moments he scored.

      I've always rated the 'best ever' type players on what they do in the big moments. The high pressure/pull something out the bag when the pressure is huge and it has to happen. Whether it's a great save/tackle/pass/run/goal - the greatest players rise to the occasion and deliver when it matters most.

      Maybe it's bias, maybe it's because I've watched his whole career so remember it more than other players but I can't think of any other player I've seen to consistently time and time and time after time do something huge when it matters most.


      Said it before, and I'll say it again.....there was a period of about 18 months (around the time of 2005) when he was justifiably the best footballer in the world and should have been recognized as such.

        What a brilliant interview!

        He's an absolute Legend, and listening to him speak reaffirms what a huge part of the club he is.

        I think that interview illustrates he perhaps does have the ability to mange he shows real humility and awareness.

        Good luck to him, I'm sure we will see him back at Anfield sooner or later.

                It seems a long time ago since he was in his pomp now, he carried us from a really young age, he was only 24 when we won the CL!! He'll always be remembered for what he won and some will always say its a shame he didn't get a league medal. But without him I wonder how many trophies we'd have won in that period? How many top players would have came? We were struggling financially for a part and he was our only top class player. He kept this club a float.

                The comparisons that have been all over the place today with Lampard are ridiculous, a man who single handedly carried a bellow average side to great things vs a man who had played in a squad built around him for a team that had world class players all over the pitch. Gerrard could do everything, its a shame how he faded, I know personally I used to be frustrated seeing it. Whilst he was still decent.. Decent isn't Gerrard.

                      I know that today is officially the day he retired but to be honest it may as well have been the day he left us. One of the greatest LFC players ever and the best that I have seen for any length on time. One of the best players of his generation.

                      Thanks for the memories
                      The 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.
