I thought this to. He better not have cost us. He really better not have. Gerrard did not really cost us the title though. We lost 2-0 to Chelsea so the slip did not cost us that game.
he's all england has left which is why of course english clubs are so bad in europe and england are total uck. we are not producing players and also we are buying in the likes of lovern
Gerrard didn't cost us - 6 months of poor spending, planning and awful tactics by Rodgers is what will cost us.
Whats done is done but I personally felt we could have got something out of the game with 11. I did however, not like the lineup. I wanted Gerrard to start, as I mentioned before the teams were released. Also wanted to see sterling further forward. I like lallana, he's getting a bit of stick but I think sterling should have been playing in his position. Oh well, on to arsenal, where we never really get alot of success, could be curtains after that game. I will be £750 down at the end of the season if we finish below utd.
Yep. For a routine match, the exclusion of Gerrard would have made sense. Not this match where form normally goes through the window, and where his experience counts. And we know what he can do. Rodgers committed a massive blunder. Like I said earlier either play him from the start or not at all. To say that he cost us the match is OTT. We could have lost even with him. The mancs played worse in the second half because they became complacent and took their foot off the gas. They had us and if they had carried on as in the first half we would have had no chance. It was Rodgers fault not Gerrard's.
Aidrian Dumbdumb. "let's start with Gerrard's love for Liverpool. Is it all that? He wore a Manchester United shirt as a kid. His dad told him off for it. I don't doubt he has a special feeling for Liverpool Football Club but while some fans at Anfield might have a grudging, secret admiration for a United player, no true Liverpool fan would ever openly admit it. Gerrard did, when he called Bryan Robson a 'legend' in his book, talked about his 'admiration' for him, and said it felt 'fantastic' to wear Robson's shirt. Sure, he loves Liverpool, but not as much as your average Scouser who rocks up at Anfield every other week." "How could he after he sat at home and watched Liverpool fans gather around the Shankly gates and burn a shirt with 'Gerrard' on the back after his transfer request in 2005? Gerrard's response in his autobiography: 'F*** off. Show some respect.' This all happened just a month after Istanbul, when Gerrard dragged the club to Champions League glory, giving the fans one of the best nights of their life. He was upset that his shirt was being burned but he was also upset that the club hadn't stopped those fans playing with fire. " "It was also just a few months after another incident which sunk Gerrard's Liverpool heart. His own goal in the League Cup final against Chelsea led to fierce hatred from some Liverpool fans. 'That pr*ck done it on purpose, he wants to play for Chelsea. He's going for the money. 'Gerrard's a traitor. Your missus is a slut Gerrard! She's a slag!' I haven't made all that up – Gerrard's mother was in Cardiff watching that game, she witnessed the abuse, and Gerrard then put it all in detail in his book. His mum was so upset she couldn't talk to Gerrard straight after the game. It went 'way over the top' said Gerrard, and although he said it was a minority, he also vowed never to forgive them. All a long time ago but that kind of abuse leaves its mark when it affects your family. And what about the club? Has Liverpool Football Club loved Gerrard enough?" "The infamous shirt-burning happened in the middle of a stand-off between the club and player over a new contract. Hard to believe that weeks after Istanbul Liverpool were hanging around, dithering over a new contract for the main man. He eventually signed a contract that he had originally rejected because he felt it 'took him for granted.' Gerrard even demanded an escape clause was removed. He wasn't always treated with the respect he deserved by Liverpool fans or by the club. But there is nothing more he could have done for Liverpool. The biggest respect Gerrard showed the club and the fans was to ignore his own personal ambition, and stay at Anfield." "Gerrard still believes Mourinho is the best manager in the world – better than Rafa Benitez, better than anyone else. And yet he still turned down the chance to play for him at Chelsea, Inter Milan and at Real Madrid. Gerrard will always have Istanbul but if he had followed Mourinho – the manager he thinks is the No 1 – when he had the chance to go to Chelsea in 2005, he would have had two Premier League titles, two Serie A titles, a La Liga crown and another Champions League success. It's up there with Alan Shearer turning down Sir Alex Ferguson twice. Ridiculous."

what a moron. does he think any reds fan would fall for that? We all know gerrard collected all shirts as a kid. nothing wrong with that. its in his blooming auto biography. As for following mourhinho around... can he plase let us know how he'd manage this:"two Premier League titles, two Serie A titles, a La Liga crown and another Champions League success." So gerrard would join cheslea.. then join inter then join real, then i presume join cheslea again. can this chump name ONE, just ONE player mourinho signed from chelsa for inter or real or who followed him... not terry not lampard, not drogba.
That cannot translate into a logic leap that if he'd been successful at Chelsea he would have bought him at either inter or real That is just too far a leap It also completely ignored the fitness issues Gerrard has over the period that neither club would have shelled out for Do you really think Mourinho first call would be Gerrard at all these clubs
It's a hypothetical, maybe, maybe not, but the way he rates him, it's a fair assumption that he'd have tried.
Someone will have to takeover the running of Stevie G's Tuck Shop when he leaves I reckon Sakho or Moreno would do a good job
other than the fact he didn't get to pick players at either place and money was no object at real especially?? Gerrard wuld not have one half those medals... its a gross exaggeration to say he would have.
