as a big Liverpool fan this interview is near making me cry (im a 27 year old man get a hold of yourself lol).

its been a honor to watch gerrard play on many occasions but i think he has made the right choice for himself and for the club.

will we ever see another player like him at the club again? i doubt it

I think we are better when he is not in the team all honesty it's hard to say but it's true just look at the Swansea game compared the leicester game so much more energy in the team without him.

What bothers me a bit is I don't think there is a leader in the team without him Hendo will more likely get the captains arm bad but I wouldn't want him being my captain if we where 2-0 down in a big game he hasn't got the experience of being in a real big big game like a cl similar final

Another thing is some players would want to come to liverpool to experience playing with someone like Gerrard without him we havent got a real star name so come the summer the owners need to make a big statement and buy a big name. A player I would like to see is ross barkley I know he isn't a big name but getting him I think is a statement after all Gerrard is irreplaceable

Him in a back three in a sort of centre back/sweeper role would work for me, and he'd probably be able to do that week in week out. He's more often than not in that role anyway, but when you've already got three centre backs and he comes back to their line to get the ball, you've got four players behind their forward line - you're always going to struggle to break down defensive teams doing that.

Make him one of the centre backs... it's not as if they could get any weaker defensively, so might as well make one of them a defensive play maker...

yeah robbie savage made that point on match of the day there is no point in him dropping into a cb role to play a 60 yard ball when he is meant to be playing midfield Rodgers could try him in cb instead of Can

How can anyone ques tion Gerrard's loyalty he stayed and give his best years to liverpool who where under achieving when he could have walked onto any team in the world, he turned down Chelsea on numerous Occasions and real Madrid when he could have been playing alongside zindane and getting more money

 

[garymcq23]

It's not a massive pay deal, it's significantly less than he's on now

Watching the videos of him at his best striding past players and smashing it in the top corner is the player I'll always remember, haven't seen that for a few years now

yeah haven't seen him score a wonder goal in a long time or even a real hard tackle to get the crowd going
