He was a very good servant to LFC. And he was a local lad.
Did very well. Whether or not he was a leader compared to Souness and the like or whether he was more skilled than others is not the point. He did well.
Lets not analyze his character or get personal FFS.

I think there is a bit of a myth about Gerrard and his performance in Istanbul myself like, I think he definitely dragged us to the win against West Ham in the Cup final but certainly not Istanbul. Yes he scored a very good goal and yes he was outstanding filling in at right back in extra tIme but for me the main reason we found ourselves 3-0 down at half time was because of Gerrard and the biggest flaw in his game... indiscipline... that first half he played the big I am, captain, I can do and go wherever I want and left a massive hole which left Xabi Alonso with an impossible job to fill, you seen the difference when a disciplined player like Hamann did when he came on. If people don't believe what I am saying why did Benitez not trust him in his so called favourite. Position central midfield again under him, so for me Cup final 2006 yes definately, Istanbul 2005 certainly not... It's your opinion and in my opinion your opinion is shyte. I do question your footballing knowledge and looks like going to games doesn't really help. dont resort to calling people's opinions names my friend, counter what I am saying with some good back up info of your own, that's what makes a forum good, difference of opinion. I told you Benitez never really played Gerrard in what Gerrard always said was his best position which was centre midfield because he never trusted him because of his poor position discipline, he brought Momo Sissoko in the season after Istanbul and then Mascherano to play in the middle with Xabi Alonso this proves my point. By all means counter my opinion as that's what I like...

Gerard was a box to box midfielder and you have named defensive midfielders, it is not the same thing you know even if thay all play central midfield, their responsibilities are different. Nothing to do with discipline. This is why Gerrard scored more than all those you have named above with Mascherano even finishing centre back at Barca. You are comparing apples with oranges. Capiche?

Reading he has been offered a coaching job at the academy. Good for Stevie and good for the club. The "boot-room" culture is also returning and that has been sadly missed.

He was one of the greats, no doubt, I just think he was sometimes not the best for the team as the other lesser players tended to sit back and let him run the game, like they did with Torres, and why we ended up with a weaker team, that's what I like about the Klopp team, we are a real team without the superstar players dominating.
