I think this will be the one game where Steven wont mind being substituted at the end.

May be. Carra and Gerrard are different breed though. They feel fucking embarrassed if they are on bench/substituted. Carra was set to retire mid season for this reason and Gerrard didn't sign contract extension. They are warriors.

I mean, substituting Steven at the end will mean a standing ovation. Something that cant happen if he plays the entire 90 minutes.

Let's ensure the battle is over by the 85th minute then.

Any plans for fans to greet the team bus? I think it'd be a nice send off for Gerrard

Steve on his favourite ever game at Anfield: "My favourite game at Anfield would be when I scored a hat trick against Everton after all the stick I've taken from Bluenoses."

Gerrard: I have ambitions to stay in the game as a coach. But I have to be good enough to manage LFC. You can't get it on reputation.

Think this has just hit me today. I've taken Steven for granted so many times, and now all I want is to continue to see him at his best in a red shirt. I was 8 when he made his debut, so Gerrard at Liverpool is all i've really known.

He's always wanted the best for this club, and to have a local lad captaining this team has been incredible. Wish him the best in LA but desperately hope he returns to the club in some capacity.

I feel sick just thinking about Saturday.

Lots of praise and admiration flying about for Steven Gerrard today and rightly so. A phenomenal career at his boyhood club. #legend

Joseph Barton @Joey7Barton · 6m 6 minutes ago

In all seriousness, the most complete midfielder of my generation. He could do it all and did for a number of years.

Highest compliment I could pay him is, he's a player I'd be proud to tell my grandchildren that I once played against... #Gerrard

Quote from: Paul_Nudge on May 13, 2015, 11:09:53 pm

Tonight I was reminded of his greatest moment in a red shirt. The finals we all remember, Olympiakos and countless other goals and performances were he simply dragged us over the line, but back in 1999 when he came on v Everton and made 2 goal-line clearances, the 2nd of which, his celebration summed him up for me.

I can't believe that soon he'll no longer be pulling on that famous red shirt. The greatest we'll ever see.

You bugger! You've just made me tear up!
I saw all the greats, From Shankly's 11 Paisley's team, even Kenny's. Steven Gerrard did all they did ON HIS OWN!!! I never ever saw a player with his drive and commitment, and in recent years when the legs are starting to go, he is still doing it. QPR, the win was every bit as important as any he ever scored. It gave us hope and that is what Gerrard always gave us.

Spoke to Phil Thompson about sterling yesterday," he said let him go, if he doesn't feel connection to the club." I said "he needs to remember one name; Shaun Wright Phillips." He said, "Jack Rodwell too."
They will never flourish as Steve has any where else.

Raheem should listen to Stevie.If he leaves his career is over.

Really?

There's been loads of players both at Liverpool and elsewhere with his drive and commitment .

Fucking delighted to hear the great man's words for raheem and specifically Brendan. No bigger endorsement from a player really.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #302 on:** May 14, 2015, 02:15:46 pm »

Just reading a few of the comments on Twitter after each quote taken from his conference. We really do have some stark, raving bonkers supporters don't we? Makes this place look level headed!

Red Genius · « **Reply #303 on:** May 14, 2015, 02:17:02 pm »

Im a massively principled guy, i adore Stevie because i agree with his point of view. If Raheem wants out, fuck him, our club is bigger and better than him.

Don't know about Carra urging Stevie not to cry on Saturday........I'll be hard pressed myself to hold back a tear when he leaves the field finally - simply a brilliant, brilliant player....immense.

95% of what he says on Twitter is a joke. Some things just continuously go over people's heads...

I am (being born in the 90's) very much a part of the Gerrard generation. He's the best I've ever known, and I don't know if we will have a similar player like him in a red shirt ever again.

Meh. He was never that great. I'm certainly not going to get all upset saturday evening. Oh no, sir.

[/Deep Denial mode]

This is my latest favourite of his goals, but that changes weekly

I meant that that they were like well oiled machines ( the teams that is), Steve to be polite had some terrible dross around him and could play any where.
I suspect you are a troll.

Read the Echo article with Rafa talking about Stevie.

Sadly I'm not.

I just never got it. Looking at sinnermichaels post with the picture and all the quotes from big players and managers, I just can't see that he was that good, yes he was very good, but as good as some of those quotes suggest?

Of course, as a person with a poor memory, my recollections may be tainted by his recent performances.

I agree he hasn't reached the heights this season, but like the old saying goes (paraphrase): "He's not as good as he once was, but he's as good once as he ever was!"
