Royal Rother How did the mighty Stevie G play?
And what was Kenny D's post match interview like? Magnanimous in defeat?

Heard an interview with 5 live.
Blinkered beyond belief that man.
BRING BACK WOOOOYYYYYYY
The man is a deluded alcoholic with no understanding of the real world.
It's so obvious, his skin is red and has a cellulite-ish appearance, very similar to what Brian Clough had in terms of complexion - he was also an alcoholic.
When he speaks it is so beyond belief, it's just gibberish, and it's like he's from a different planet.
Notice also how when he speaks he speaks very slowly. People under the influence of alcohol will speak more slowly than people that are sober.
It is as plain as day, the man is an alcoholic!!!!

Presumably that is the royal "we" meaning "you", dumbo.
Have you never seen a picture of him holding the European Cup?
In fact have you ever seen the European Cup?
I had the pleasure of going to Anfield a couple of weeks ago and saw the 5th version of the cup-that's what happens when you win 5 European Cups,you get to keep it whereas no other British club has come anywhere near getting 5 and your mob just turn up now and again for the lol and on the rare chance of a solitary victory you blew it..

I wonder if Gerrard looks at Paul Scholes and thinks 'that could me in five years time'? If he does he's deluded. Scholes can be harried and made to suffer these days. We know that. But watch him pick a pass. He's right every time. He has a vision of what a simple pass will do to the rest of the pitch. Or if not a simple pass, then a sequence of simple passes, which is why he often follows his own passes so that he's in a position to get a return and put in the next pass of the sequence before the opposition has had time to properly adjust.
Gerrard couldn't do this in a thousand years because he doesn't think like Scholes. When he plays in central midfield he drops deeper than Scholes ever would in order to pick the ball off the toes of the central defender, he likes more time on the ball than Scholes before delivering a pass, and his first instinct is to solve the problem in one single blow. That often means the long pass. And, I'm afraid to say, when he delivers a square pass it's often a stupid one. Unlike Scholes who usually tips the whole pitch to his team's advantage when he goes square.
Gerrard is not, has not and never will be a CM. His best football is played higher up the pitch or on the right and he lack the game intelligence and discipline to do what Lucas does. This is not a criticism, each to their own and all that.
Bar Everton, his best performance since his return was Newcastle at Anfield in December, when he introduced as an impact sub - which, as someone earlier pointed out, is what another Scottish manager does with older players. He would be a bigger benefit to the team for the last half hour of games on the right or behind the striker.

Yeah, he's been a decent attacking midfielder in his day but world class? Never was anywhere close to it and at just 31 he's reduced to being, at best, an impact sub in his own fans' eyes.... and that for the team currently sitting 8th in the PL.

Hoop Blah Scholes and Gerrard are, and always have been, different types of player so the comparison is a bit daft really.
He's not as good as he was no. Is he still capable of being very good though? Yeah, I think so but it could be that the injuries have taken their toll. He needs to be managed cleverly to get the best out of him. I'm not convinced that he'll get that though.
