No nothings new the club has been really badly run for decades now which is why we have never won the prem and don't look like doing so for another 20 years.

He looks disinterested to me. Almost as if he's realised he's slowing down and doesn't want another injury ravaged season, so he's calmed his tackles down and forgone some of his rampaging forward runs. He should be judged anew like all players under BR, and with Sahin, and given how he's playing, he's no longer irreplaceable. Very interesting season ahead.

A bit of a mess of his career?
He has won every honour in club football bar the Premier League.
He has captained Liverpool FC and England.
He has played and scored in World Cups and European Nations Cups.
He has 150 goals for his club.
There are plenty of players who wish they could mess up like that.

''made a mess of his career''. Surely your having a laugh! Ask yourself how many of them trophies would we have won over the last 12 or so years if he wasnt in the team and how many more trophies we could have won had we had better players around him?

People on this forum have a weird lust for ending people's careers. Gerrard isn't 37 or 38 - he's still at an age where good midfielders can contribute, even if most of them have to adjust their game somewhat. I don't think he's disinterested at all... on the contrary he sounds quite excited about Joe Allen coming in. I think he's trying to adjust his game and get back to what he does best. He's been carrying the can for so long... for Liverpool and England. He's become defensive minded and it'll take a few games for him to change his mentality. Gerrard is a fine player - a good captain - and he has a lot left to contribute. The overreaction on this site is just silly! Spot on!

Liking some of the comments on here pro and c.on reminds me of the good old days.
Now to play devils advocate: If and when we have a fully fit squad would Stevie play in the middle three or the top three?
Players in the middle are Gerrard, Sahin, Henderson, Lucas, Adams, Allen and Shelvey
Players up top are Suarez, Carroll, J Cole, Assaidi, Downing, Borini and Sterling
This is before anymore players come in or youth players making progress
