Steven Gerrard

this is the biggest problem i have with rodgers 433.

gerrards role as the kingpin / playmaker in the side will be redundant if rodgers gets his way. If you look at the profile of that player playing at the tip of the midfield 3 its not a creative role as such which gerrard excels at.

Its more of a getting onto the end of things role like a lampard. If you look at sigurdsson he's closer to lampard in how he plays than someone like gerrard who if given licence can get 20 goals and 20 assists.

Rodgers doesnt want someone who will demand the ball in the final third but he just wants someone who will get involved with play and arrive late into the box like sigurdsson did.

To be honest, when i watched swansea play you didnt notice what sigurdsson was doing other than when he scored a goal. he didnt look creative like a modric, he didnt really do anything exceptionally well but he just arrived late and scored goals.

Hence why he likes shelvey in that role. once lucas is back - gerrard will be out wide right.

I love the way you post with such matter of factness - it's endearing

Gerrard did Q & A with Adidas today and when asked who is the best player he ever played with he said Suarez

He also said in the past that Joe Cole was as good as Messi

Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard has spoken of his admiration for Jose Mourinho and how he would love to work under the Portuguese coach.

Mourinho came close to securing Gerrard's services in the summer of 2005, when he was in charge at Chelsea, with the midfielder contemplating an Anfield exit before eventually deciding it would be too much of a wrench to leave his hometown club.

Gerrard still considers the now Real Madrid boss to be the best in the business, with Mourinho having enjoyed success wherever he has been.

"I would like to play for Mourinho, the Special One," said the Reds midfielder.

Gerrard is, however, totally committed to Liverpool and has no regrets at having snubbed Mourinho's advances on three occasions.

On Chelsea's initial approach seven years ago, he added: "Liverpool weren't really challenging at the time, so there was something to think about.

"But I ended up saying 'no' and a year later I said 'no' again. But he came back when he arrived at Real Madrid two years ago.

"I look at some players who get interest from clubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona and they cause absolute wars to get out and get there.

"But that has never been me and, again, it just wasn't going to happen."

I miss Torres

What an amazing feeling to see Torres, Gerrard, Alonso, Mascherano and Reina all lining up together. Knowing that each and everyone of them was amongst the top 3 in the world in their position. Happy times. If only we could have won the league that year...

That's a bit harsh

Elaborate if you're going to be so abusive of one of our greatest ever players. What justifies you calling him a ****?
