Don't get me wrong, I'm one of his biggest fans and he deserves to be recognised as our greatest player ever, but what has he done to deserve this latest award in the last 12 months? Strange choice.

that's a really mad decision. he only came into form for us late last year. and he was pretty good for england but still a strange decision.

gets in because of reputation which isnt right.

I remember Giggs won the PFA (?) award following a spell where he wasn't even a regular in the side but played poorly when he was. That definitely wasn't won on merit - a lifetime achievement award would have been more appropriate.

Very begrudging posts there imo. Take Gerrard out of the team and see what impact it makes. The guy is world class and fully deserves his award.

don't think many of the posts have been too begrudging at all. i'm a big stevie fan. his form of late has been much better. but he himself (recent interviews) was critical of his form last year

Just because you're the best british player in the 7th best english team, it doesn't make you worthy of the award. There have been other years when he should have won it but didn't - this year is the opposite.

Wow this is a brand new low you lot are actually complaining that one of our players got an award? Whether he deserved it or not - well done Stevie

You're missing the point completely. For the award to mean something, the recipient must be worthy of it. No one can argue that Gerrard has been immense for us since he came onto the scene, but for him to win that award on the back of the poorest 12 months of his career, negates the prestige of winning it. He will know deep down that he hasn't been worthy of it on this occasion.

There's nothing wrong with being able to look at it objectively. Take your LFC hat off for 5 minutes and can you honestly say he was the best player in the premier league last season?
