Can't believe the amount of people who want him to manage us after Klopp. The mind boggles.

It'll take Lampard and Solskjaer failing for that noise to die down a bit.

We should always appoint the best manager we can get, Rafa was and Klopp was and they won us the CL after taking over average sides. Don't settle for mediocrity (Hodgson), a gamble (Rodgers) or romanticism (Gerrard). Settle for a proven top quality manager, or someone who has at leasty achieved something more noteworthy than getting promoted with Swansea or success in Scotland (unless it's winning titles with Aberdeen or something).

If Garcia dyed his hair to get rid of the grey, he would look in almost better shape than when he played for us, not that he's the sort of man with an ego to do that. I had the pleasure to meet him two years ago and enjoyed a five minute conversation with him and my son, which left me more in awe of him then ever. As well as being a wonderful footballer, he's a decent human being with a great sense of humour.

As for Stevie, he's still got it and if he was okay with the shit being kicked out of him in every game would cut it in the SPL. Probably a good decision not to bother.

Did Gerrard leave too soon?
« Reply #725 on: October 12, 2019, 08:49:01 pm »
Not sure many will agree, but having seen a few masterful touches from him in that friendly, it did make me think back on Gerrard leaving - and whether we let him go too early?

The season after he left, we finished 8th. I know he probably wouldn't have been able to adapt, with the loss of pace, to Klopp's pressing game - but it still feels a shame he didn't get at least a season playing under him.


Gerrard was 35 when Liverpool let him leave, without offering a renewed contract.

Pirlo played for Juventus until he was 36, I think?

Lampard played for Chelsea until he was 36, and then went on to play for a title challenging Man City team.

Scholes played for Man United, having come back from retirement, up to the age of 38.

Totti played for Roma until he was 40.


Could we have got another season or two out of our best ever player?

No, it was time.  As good as he was he was slipping to the point of impact sub.  That's no place for a player of Gerrard's character and lifelong contribution to a club.  Maybe in the past, but not these days.  It's a crying shame to think what Jurgen could have done with a peak Steven Gerrard, but their paths were not destined to cross.

I really hope if Stevie has ideas on managing Liverpool that he comes back in a coaching role to learn from the Master though.

Lampard, Totti, Pirlo & Scholes were never fit to lace Gerrards boots so not sure why you're talking about any of them either

From memory, Gerrard didn't want to stay with reduced playing time. I agree with the OP that he could have been a great player to retain for a little bit longer, perhaps using him off the bench roughly the way we use Milner (as a midfielder) in a lot of games these days.
I think it's all worked out for us, mind.

The final few years must have been mentally draining for him. The Hodgson era, H&G mess, Torres/Alonso leaving, the end to the 13/14 season. He left at the right time.

I'd argue quality wise he probably left a year too late (although given how 13/14 finished, it's good that he didn't go out like that).

Defo. He'd been playing top level football for a long time and he wouldn't have the legs any more for a Klopp team. And much as I love him to pieces and his barnstorming greatness his tactical discipline sometimes took second place and I'm not sure Klopp would fancy that.

Definitely agree with his last few years here being mad. When you hold yourself to such a high standard of accountability as he did, I don't know how I'd ever have recovered after the climax of the 13/14 season. That said I thought he was very good that year and he'd done more than his fair share.

Even though the time was probably up, I'd have liked to have seen him stay on one more year, especially getting to (and losing) two cup finals. If that Sevilla game was his last, even turning 36, you could never have put it past him to turn up one last time and do something mad.

After he left, he only rarely displayed his incredible skills in MLS. Even that league was a bit too punishing on his body. He left us at the right time.

Based on the opinion's of others there, it seems sensible to say that Gerrard himself knew his time was up, and was happy to move on for a pay day.  If he'd felt in his soul he still had something to give he would have tried to stick around - but not at the expense of a player trying to come through.  He knew where the future lay.

Such is Gerrard's quality that even when he's 50 and playing in testimonials you'd question if he should be playing professionally. But his body was shot much like Sturridge. Injuries, his all action style of play, and the number of games he racked up took their toll on his body. In the 13/14 season the players around him were carrying him physically and we were soft through the middle but no one else could do what he could do on the ball. I'm pretty sure he racked up a fair few assists from a deeper position. I think he timed his exit about right. Was an astonishing player in his prime.

He didn't have the legs anymore towards the end and wasn't willing to sit on the bench like, say, Robson did towards the end at United. He would have been the perfect sub to come on but we couldn't keep starting him every week and he was a player who relied on his pace, power and energy which had deserted him. It'd have happened a fair bit earlier if Rodgers had the gravitas to phase him out the team.

Steven Gerrard anywhere near his pomp would complete this team perfectly though. He'd be like De Bruyne+ .

Gerrard left because he wasnt prepared to sit on the bench and start more sparingly when his legs had gone  If he would have accepted that then he did leave too early, otherwise he stayed a year too long.

Gerrard, iirc, said that had he been offered a fledgling coaching role alongside bench-sitting he would have stayed. As he came back to coach the Under-18s that would seem to be true.

Yeah, if there's one current player that reminds me of our Ste it's KDB.
He even has a similar style of moving about the pitch!
What KDB doesn't have is Stevie's leadership and hardness on the pitch/in the tackle.
So I guess even KDB isn't as good as our Ste was.

If KDB was a Liverpool player a lot of fans would be touting him as the second coming of SG.

Admittedly I don't see an awful lot of city's games. But comparing him to Gerrard even ignoring the "big n hard" thing is laughable.

Has de Bruyne dragged a team to a Champions League final and picked them up off the floor. Has he decided he'd had enough of an awful FA cup final and boomed one in from about 479 yards?

Has he been able to play in almost every position on the pitch? Has he played in a deeper role, right wing, just off one of the best strikers in the word?

Comparing that Belgium wool is an absolute insult.

Steven Gerrard has admitted that replacing Jurgen Klopp in the Liverpool hotseat will be harder if the Reds manager lands the club's first Premier League title.

But speaking on The Greatest Game podcast with former Reds teammate Jamie Carragher, Gerrard conceded the job has become a trickier prospect.

"If I took over now from Jurgen, it would be a tougher job than if I replaced Brendan Rodgers or Roy Hodgson.

"I would probably have a better chance of winning, though."

Gerrard has been earning his managerial stripes with Scottish Premiership side Rangers.




I spend far too much time dreading Klopp leaving and the prospect of this circus coming to town. It's not healthy for me.

The podcast is well worth a listen, searingly honest from Stevie.

Glad to hear him say he only wants it if he's ready though. I'm less concerned that we'll give it to him because of his name than I was (reading about the effort Edwards put into analysing managers) but its obviously going to be a hugely popular thing amongst the fanbase.

Don’t underestimate how educated our core supporter base is.  I for one couldn’t care less about legend status as a player when it comes to a future managerial appointment which I hope is very far away.  Inviting such speculation in the future will also not count in his favour.

Seems to have been a question at an event at the Cape Town Official Liverpool Supporters Club

Quote
A recent discussion spread across social media after it was suggested that Steven Gerrard should be brought back to Liverpool to lift the Premier League trophy, but Moore gives a tongue-in-cheek response to why such an eventuality is impossible.

"Let me explain what would have to happen. So the question is, 'can we bring Steven Gerrard back to get a Premier League medal?' and the question I ask you is: which player do you want to cut from the squad to make that happen? If you haven't noticed, he's the employee of a different football club at the same time as well.

"Look, we all love Stevie G and we're all very proud of him for his managerial career, but I keep seeing this 'bring him in on a five-day contract so he can win a medal' [but] it just doesn't happen that way. Chemistry in a dressing room is important. Can you imagine that? That you have to cut a player, to say 'you're not going to get a medal'? It's not like they're handing these things out to everybody, you've got a squad, right? And thirdly, you can't add a player to a squad once it's locked. Other than that, it's really possible."

Stevie coming under pressure up there. League title effectively gone. Tough night ahead this week in Portugal. Would imagine he’ll get a third season but a lot depending on Scottish FA cup now.

If Celtic weren’t steamrolling every team his results would be not that bad. But they are and the natives are getting restless.

It was always going to be a huge task overhauling Celtic with the squad they've built over the past 5 years.

Just watched Make Us Dream (it's on catch-up if anyone's interested). Fuck, no player gives me chills like Gerrard does, and probably never will do. Like many Liverpool fans of a certain age, I grew up with him, and without him there's at least two trophies we would not have won. I'm not sure any player in history is more worthy of a film, either. An absolute rollercoaster of a career with amazing highs and tragic lows.

Even when you know we're going to win the league this season, watching the contrast between the City win and the Chelsea loss and the way it came about is still utterly gut-wrenching. I think it goes under the radar what a phenomenal captain Gerrard was for us in that season in particular, especially with him using pain-killers and injections to get through several games.

what the hell happened at Rangers? From being on top of the world mid-week, now to loads of headlines about him maybe thinking of leaving after a loss in the cup  :o
