That is a load of rubbish.
Gerrard was supported with plenty of world class players.

Alonso, Mascherano are far better than any of our current midfielders. Torres would easily get in our front 3, Carra - vast improvement on any of VVD partners.

Reina in his prime just as good as Allison.

That's without mentioning he played with Suarez, Sterling and Sturridge.

what are you smoking?


A bit rubbish? That would be you and most of your threads mate...

Gerrard never had anything as good as Klopp... not even Rafa.
Gerrard never had fullbacks as good as TAA and Robertson.
Gerrard never had the best CB in the world keeping things tight at the back.
Gerrard never had a team full of potential captains.
Reina was not as good as Alison Becker
Masch wasn't around long enough to build a team around.
Alonso (like Gerrard) was class but too often had to play with inferior players.
Yes we had Torres and Suarez... but we also played so many important games with the likes of Cisse, Baros, Riera, Ngog, Morientes, and a slew of other players that were fairly average.

Gerrard rarely had an off game and everything went through him. When you have such a player you get him on the ball at all costs. He was an absolute giant of a player. In today's market he would be worth £200m for being able to win games on his own.

Henderson has grown into the role more each year. Following Gerrard was probably the toughest ask of any player at our club. Henderson is a metronome in that midfield making sure the team does not miss a beat. These last 7 PL games where we have had clean sheets and no Fabinho he has been our best player by a long long way. He will win PFA award and is now just 9/1. I tipped him at 33/1 4 weeks ago and he is getting better and better each week.

Who is the best captain?

Trophies will probably end up pointing towards Henderson but don't forget SG won the CL and FA Cup with amazing spirited leadership.

Depends what floats your boat but get on this 9/1 whilst you can.
