Another steven gerrard thread
Posted: Fri Jun 17, 2005 5:17 pmI simply cannot for the life of me understand why people are starting threads left right and centre about Steven Gerrard.
Think back to the last close season. The horrifying thought that the axis of evil (Kenyon, Abramorvich and Maureen) had got their claws into our talismanic skipper. The same lad that had single handidly (anyone care to disagree about that point?) dragged our beloved club kicking and sreaming through the final painfull year of Houlliers reign and into the Champions League.
Think back to that final ten minutes against Olympiakos, when the same lad volleyed an impossible shot into the back of the net to cap the greatest European night of living memory (at the time and soon to be surpassed by Leverkusen, Juve and Chelsea).
Think back to the volley he scored against Middlesborough, during a dour and typically end of season game. The kind of goal only really special and talented players can produce.
Think back to the most magical of fantasia type magical nights in the Turkish capital, when the same scouse to the core lad popped up with an unbeleiveable header to beat a keeper six foot odd and previoulsy infallable in the competition to lift his troops and lead by example. A kind of look boys, I am with you, this is how to do it, lets do it together attitude that you do not find in players like Milito, Kuyt, Baraja, Ibanez or anyother player we plan to purchase with the proceeds of selling him.
Yes his head was turned. But if someone came along and offered me the chance to work for three or four times my salary, then I would snap their bloody arm off.
Yes he seems to say the wrong kind of things to the wrong people, but times have changed. no longer are football players interviwed for their star status, they are simply prey for lazy bas.tard hacks intent on making up stories if they are not given one.
We simply can not, must not, daren't not have Steven Gerrard come to Anfield wearing the colours of another team. We MUST see him proudly wear the red of Liverpool, and lift the European Cup again.
We dont want to see the best central midfielder in Europe brielfy late on Sunday nights on Sky Sports. We want to see the best central midfielders in Europe (Stevie and Xabi) plying their trade down at L4, and watch them again on Match of the Day.
