Steven Gerrard

[Angryred]

Brill news, sad to think it will prob be his last contract extension though

As a player, yeah but not as an employee in whatever that may be...watch this space!

He's got to be our best ever player. The main reason I say this is that Kenny played in teams that were dominating Europe and England. He had great players in every position around him

Though Gerrard has played with some talented players he has always been our focal point, our stand out player and we have often had to rely on his brilliance to achieve greatness.

He never played with a team of a similar strength to the one Kenny used to play in. For that reason, to achieve what he has makes him our greatest ever for me.

oooffffttt, as much as i love stevie thats a hell of a claim to make.

i get ur reasoning and agree with a good bit of it, but players like kenny, souness and liddell IMO should be before stevie at this moment. at least till we see what the next 4-5 years bring gerard.

Excellent ****, set to become club ambassador as well.

Possibly one of the greatest players never to win a league championship?

You been listening to talksport?

One thing I've noticed though is he is not in the slightest bit interested in tackling

Its often been a criticism of him that he vacates the midfield too much but generally when he was behind the ball he would tackle for 50/50's etc..

Last night a number of times he bottled out of tackles that he was the absolute favouriite to get, maybe its nervousness in regards to his injury and it will be something with time that will come back but its been noticeable to me that tackles that he is even clear favourite for he will not entertain

Hes still brilliant mind

I noticed that as well but imo he shies away as he just got back and he still is not ready for all aspects of the game.

Yesterday he had a clumpsy challenge against Milner (I think) in the first half that could have easily been a yellow but I think he needs more games and little confidence in himself that the bad luck with injuries is over.

Tackling is a part of who he is and I think we'll see more of that as time goes.

Agree 1000% - for me it's 1.) Gerrard 2.) the King & 3.) John Barnes

Awesome news

[DKdan]

Didn't he have quite som time left on his contract as it was?

Perhaps we have offered him a new contract, but one without the "highest paid player" clause.

Time to sign Hazard, Hamsik, Cavani and Pato then!


Regarding Gerrard: MY FAVORITE EVER PLAYER!!! GET IN!!!!

For me Kenny is still our best ever player, by a long long distance

Irrespective of how good the players were around him, when he was out of that side they were nowhere near at the level as when he was in it

Just look back at our history its no coincidence that poor form in the late 70's & 80's often coincided with Kenny being out of the side and when he returned invariably we kicked into gear - take 86 as an dexample of that he left himself out of the side for sometime and yet whdn he returned we went on an unbelievable run
