Gerrard has been on a steady decline for quite a few years now - it's not the same as losing Suarez in his prime at the end of last season, wind your neck in. Saying he's been in decline doesn't mean he hasn't still been a major player in the team or take away anything he's done for the club.. calm the fuckk down and get a little bit of perspective.

Bye Bye.


Sorry Chester but I believe you're showing a lack of respect. He stayed with us through thick and thin and was probably being paid well below his market value during that time.

Shame shame shame!

YNWA Steven Gerrard. Good luck and the best to you and thanks for the many remarkable memories.

Totally agree with the donut on this one.

I think Gerrard realised that we won't make CL anytime soon.

He probably realised this quite a while back, last season came to everyone as a surprise.

Stevie's in his twilight, one last payday and the chance to play abroad - without having to learn a new language, essentially adapt to a new culture & quite possibly pick up a medal or two...

All the best to you Stevie, would've done the exact same thing in his position.

Yes!

He's allowed to talk to clubs outside Europe from tomorrow on.

It's just a shame that the club never really backed arguably our greatest player with the right kind of support staff bar one or two signings.


This. Absolutely 100 percent this. This is exactly what has occurred. The only thing I'd add is that on the basis of FSG's decision making since they've been here, Gerrard probably doesn't see Liverpool competing on any meaningful level ever under these guys. You get lucky with a signing like Suarez once in a decade if that, it won't be happening again soon.
