    for the benefit of lazy batards <whistle>


    Steven Gerrard has expressed his disappointment over Liverpool's misjudgment in signing new players. How can you blame the Liverpool star to speak out against the management? From second place last year, they are not even in the top five of the English Premier League this current season. Not to mention they are already several games behind league leaders Chelsea.

    The team lost their best player Luis Suarez to Barcelona during the summer transfer window. They earned £75 million for selling the 2013-14 EPL top scorer so everyone is expecting to at least find a player that is on the same level as him. However, it seems the club has failed to find their next Luis Suarez.

    In an interview, Gerrard, who played all his senior years with the Anfield-based club, said that the team should have instead signed Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas who are now with Chelsea. He said that he would prefer signing proven and tested veterans than young players who still needs to develop. For this year, some notable new names in the Liverpool squad are Mario Balotelli (24), Emre Can (20) and Lazar Markovic (20). It is also worth mentioning that the anchor of their offense is built through two youngsters, Daniel Sturridge and Raheem Sterling. Gerrard is probably envious of what Chelsea is having right now. Instant goals, great assist man, and a confident coach.

    Interestingly, their next opponent are Chelsea. Gerrard's words surely won't do anything about their current line-up once they meet the Blues. They have spent most of the £75 million and Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas are locked up in Jose Mourinho's squad. For the new Reds, this match is the best time for them to show up, prove that their captain is wrong. That they are quality purchases. In athlete&#8217;s standpoint, it hurts that your team need more when you are already there but that's the life of a professional player. Against Chelsea, the likes of Balotelli, Can, and Markovic must prove that they are worth all the spending that Liverpool made. But of course, they must let their game do the talking.

    If I were manager and any player did this they'd be on the bench for a long time. I'd demand he retract it as well. Bad for team spirit that

    That would be a poor decision from Stevie, but I see no quotes?

    No quotes. Is there any actual footage or a recording of him saying these things? Or has some hack just spun it that way to sensationalise before the weekend game?

  7. Can't see quotes but if true, Steven seriously needs to look at himself!

    Whether he was asked questions or not, you don't talk about being out of contract before a big game and you certainly don't question the quality of signings, its disrespectful towards your colleagues.

    Is he agitating for a move at the end of the season? He's seen how much game time fat Frank was getting at City (before the injury) and thought "I want some of that!"

    taken slightly out of context.

    &#8220;You need to keep that together and add to it. When you are taking big chunks of it away and adding five or six into it, it&#8217;s not going to happen overnight.
    &#8220;I would love a Fabregas or Costa here, but I have to understand how the owners want to do it and accept I am a Liverpool player, not a Chelsea or Manchester City player. They [Fenway Sports Group] have gone on record saying they want to bring exciting young talent into the club. You can&#8217;t just expect that to click overnight.

    Regardless of the comments, he shouldn't be anywhere near the first team.

    I know it's early but I'll go on record and say Can is our best central midfielder at the club. I think both he and Henderson can be absolute beasts in the CM roles ahead of a proper DM.

    The only reason Gerrard starts on Saturday is because his name is Steven Gerrard.

    Ironic coming from one of the consistently worst performers this season. Off you pop to collect your pension Stevie, you're done.

    Load of bollocks. Would never say that in an interview even if he maybe has a point and doesn't look like any quotes.

    Non story, close the thread <whistle>
