gerard is the most over rated player in European football, and even the board at Liverpool realised that, and hoped to cash in.
On the big stage, he always goes AWOL.
Yeah, he went AWOL alright, didn't see him play in every position on the park that night except goalie and where was he when the trophy needed to be picked up?
You wouldn't be a bit jealous Monkey?
Gerrard was immense that night.
Only a World Cup Final is bigger than a CL Final. And you English may just see Gerrard excel in one next Summer.
remember Euro 2004? Where was Gerard throughout that? i would have been more use to England than Gerard was during that competition. Just a shame that the Scouse ran media fail to point out these things.
He's clearly not a bad player, and he would most certainly get a place in the team that I support, but to suggest that he is one of the world's best players is laughable.
Finishing one place behind Everton says more about Gerard and his side than winning the Champs Lge could ever do.
Mind you, if Alan Stubbs wore red, he'd probably be heralded as one of the best central defenders in the world.
(and that isn't my attempt to claim Stubbs or Everton are anything other than poor)
