That in turn worries me.The fact we are relying yet again on Gerrard with the money that has been spent.We should have other players who step up to the mark with Suarez facing an 8 match ban.
To be honest I don't think it is a matter of money because what Gerrard has cannot be bought. It is a rare talent that allows a man to go on the pitch and inspire 10 others to lift their game, to calm their nerves and inspire them to keep attacking.
When he was a younger player, although showing obvious talent as a player, he probably would not have had the ability to inspire that he has now.
Experience has given the knowledge, the 'been there, done that' belief that he and the team are capable of anything as long as they keep trying and never give up.
He has shown this attitude time and time again, - FA Cup, CL Finals and Premier League games, whatever it is he never stops trying.
There are very few players who have the effect that Gerrard has on the team, and like many others I worry about the time when he decides to hang up his boots because he will be a hard act to follow. Hopefully between now and then, another player will gain the experience and the confidence to step up to the plate and be as inspirational, but if we do we will be very, very lucky indeed.
