KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Steven Gerrard - Do we sell?

During the early part of this season, many on here were saying that Gerrard was past it, has been crap, should be sold or getting ready to retire! I for one found these comments to be quite ludicrous and always said that once he grasps BR's style of play and Lucas returns we will begin to see the Steven Gerrard of old and see him roaming forward, scoring goals and giving assists.
His stats in the early part of the season were reasonable, although not what we'd normally expect from him and not as bad as some were saying but it seems the old Gerrard is beginning to appear again!

So what I want to know is, are those people who were slating our great captain and legend of the club, still wanting to sell him?

JA will become another Alberto Aquilani

This is an insane thread and unfortunately typical of the point scoring that goes on here. Please move on

I think your right kop prophet

Why bother with these threads???

Ged will be at Liverpool 'til the day he retires - regardless of form.

Bring on the captaincy threads again - god knows how we all love a good "should he, shouldn't he"...


Spent the day at the beach - really need to get the sand outta me boardies befor they begin to chaffe...

You read some of the posts and you don't know whether to laugh or cry. Gerrard and Carragher would have been tarred, feathered and run out of town a few months ago if many had got their way. As would Lucas a year or so ago.......oh hang on he's back on the string him up list isn't he?

It's very confusing!

Far from point scoring as that's not my intention! All I'm pointing out is that so many in here are so quick to write players off when they are in a little but of a slump but when they begin to play well they rarely offered the praise that's due. SG had a slow start to the season by his standards but was still vital to the team and now that he's back in form I don't see any threads about him playing well.
Same would apply to Henderson, who has improved immensely, Enrique who also started slowly and even Diwning to an extent! These players would no longer be at the club if some on here had their way!
Maybe there should be a little more positivity on here from some instead of the negative crap that's written.

Just my opinion.

You might argue yes we should sell him. Bob paisley was the master at selling a player right at the point he was to go downhill. Gerrard is playing well now but his best years are arguably behind him but his greatness is still reflected in his price for now.

So it's a fair question. Caragher and Gerard have to be replaced at some time.

Do we stick or twist?

Valid point Stanley but I think he should stay and end his career here.

One of the better posts iv seen on here, i've slated Downing ALOT but i always had faith in Henderson as age is on his side and he's an honest player works hard and certainly has the ability but no confidence.

Enrique also got backing some suggested dropping him at one point not long ago and in my opinion they were right he should have been but he stepped up his game alot over the past few months and the injury came at the wrong time for him he's back now i'm hoping he can get back in form straight away.

I dont know anyone on here who'd sell Gerrard to be fair i'm not sure where that came from 3 months ago he was playing terrible but he's shown his class since the end of November/Start of December.

And even Downing has started to fit in to the squad he's put in some good performance's but i reckon we can get younger and better for cheaper, i wouldn't mind keeping him as back up though as he does provide experience on the wing which we lack and he can play in a couple of roles.
