i dont mean to be pessimistic but..... no. wont happen. gerrard will never be the player he used to be. too many broken promises from the club.
i actually have a feeling we wont be a great club again until him and jamie retire.
I agree Gerrard's best days are well behind him, to be honest I still dont know where the best place to play him is either. I dont think he's good enough to play central midfield anymore and gets found out against the top four clubs, i would leave Lucas and Meireles together and I reall dont think he's top quality up front with the striker so i suppose for me his best position is right midfield instead of the awful Kuyt. You are right about Gerrard and Carragher not being around if Liverpool were to return to being a top Club having said that I really cant see is ever returning to the Club we used to be again if am perfectly honest, not when you see the way football is mow and how far we have sunk over the last 20 odd years.
