See with that Leicester game I thought...we don't need to start Gerrard, let's just stick with the same line up from the Swansea match. I've been Stevies staunchest supporter on here but when I'm thinking he may well be stifling the style of play Rodgers want's to implement, then it's time for him to make a change and the club moves forward.

We have to be careful though, Chelsea let Lampard go but had Fabregas to come in straight away...I'm not sure what our contingency plan is.

People have said why doesn't he retire with us but it's like Lampard with Chelsea, they are invested so heavily with the club emotionally that it hurts to see them left out and on the decline when they once bossed things, they have to leave. Frank is happy to play the sub role at Man City as he's more of a mercenary there and the club means less to him, happy to be a bit part player. It's an even stronger affinity with Gerrard and Liverpool as he's carried the team for years. It doesn't seem right for him to be a bit part player here.

It's fair to say the club has strung him along a fair bit down the years with a series of unkempt promises. I think he knew he had to stick around to help us when other players jumped ship. That's the integrity of the man, yes he was tempted but that's life, he stuck with us.

They should put a statue up of him outside the new ground, him and Kenny tbf tbh

I've been harsh on him recently, some of his performances were a mess
Partly down to dwindling ability and partly down to been shoehorned into uncomfortable positions just to accommodate him in the team

I've pointed it out to few people and their comeback seems to be "he's still better than ....."
Truth be told he's not better than Hendo pulling the strings
He's not better Coutinho behind the striker
He's not better tha Lucas in DM

He might beat them at certain aspects but in dedicated roles he just isn't working out for the team

Wish him the best

And it speaks volumes that he himself obviously realises all these things and is willing to make the break instead of forcing the club to do it which would be very awkward and probably wouldn't he handled well.

It's interesting to see how the rest of the season pans out with this news now. Will he plays most games out of sentimentality? Will he be phased out to give others a chance to adapt and grow without him, aside from a big sendoff in May?

Let's not forget he made it into the PFA team of the year last a season, he broke his record for assists and was pretty much superb....the whole season. It's not his fault there's not any real world class talent now, surround him with the quality and you know he'll perform...you saw it with both Torres and Suarez.

We've fuck all good strikers fit now so the midfield has to work harder and he's not got the legs for it. I'd say the way we lost out on the title has damaged him a bit, it has to....coming so close you could almost taste it.

Hope we can have a good run in one of the cups, give him one more trophy.

Seriously Void? Some of his games last season was like watchinf himn back in 2007-2009 era the way he could link up so well with Torres, him and Luis developed th same understanding throughout last season. Don't get me wrong he still had a few bad games but it was his best season since 2009 IMHO.

sorry but for me while he had some good games he was,mostly just average for me and I think I said it quite a times last season and alot of his corners were dire when often he didnt get it beyond the first man
I dont want to be dising him but i'm not goin to pretend that I was overly happy with him over the last few seasons.
Gerrard is a Liverpool legend/icon and I think it's best left that way and hopefully we'll see him back at the club someday preferably as our Manager

Rather Carra as our Manager than Gerrad, perfect combo would be Carra Manager with Gerrard as number 2 between them we would be unbeatable.

Well void is trolling again

Glyn? Your just being a sentimental fool
Barnes and rush would've been great
Fowler and macca
Owen and heskey :icon_uhoh:


Carra has done the Hansen. Accomplished himself as a pundit, he will never ever ever touch management and if gerrard has any Sense he won't either

Carra is a bookworm of the heighest degree would make a perfect manger, remember watching an Interview with rafa and he said he could see Carra as manager on day and his knowledge of the game, players teams etc was better than his. Huge estemm indeed from the once great goatee.

I wish he's announced this later. The amount of shit I've read either for or against him in the last day or so is mind melting.

If he scores a goal now...."And they might just be regretting letting him go"

This mornings papers are saying he'll get 20 million quid from LA Galaxy. Another reporting that we'll loan him straight back.

And then all the questions I'll get going back to work on Monday.

4 million £/6 m dollars per season for 2 seasons
18 games per season
Inevitable loan to lfc mid season - 500k
Life in LA with Robbie Keane as a wing man - priceless


I sometimes wish I could kick a ball.....

Read the interview in the Echo with Gerrard, if we offered him a new contract in the summer he would of signed it.

FSG and B-Rodge gone and fuck themselves now as the backlash will be immense.
