Jamie Carragher has revealed that Steven Gerrard's decision to reaffirm his commitment to Liverpool has given everyone at the club a massive lift.

The Reds vice-captain believes there is a real feel-good factor reverberating around Anfield at the moment and feels things are falling into place just in time to ensure they head into the new season in buoyant mood.

"Well, he's our best player. For me he's probably the best player in the history of the club, alongside Kenny, so it's obviously going to give everyone a massive lift," Carragher told Liverpoolfc.tv.

"Hopefully Fernando will do the same and we can bring one or two more in so that we head into the season with a real feel good factor."

Carragher was speaking after the Reds' pre-season defeat to Borussia Moenchengladbach, a clash that saw Joe Cole make his Liverpool debut.

The defender reckons the former Chelsea man has already settled into life on Merseyside and is confident the fans will take a shine to the club's new No.10.

"He's not taken too long to settle in and he knows quite a lot of the lads from England," he said.

"He's a good lad too and he's staying right in the centre of Liverpool, so a lot of the fans have seen him around.

"He loves playing here and being at Liverpool. You like people to get involved with the city and he's doing that from an early stage."

The match at Borussia Park also saw Carra make his first appearance under Roy Hodgson.

He admits the ex-Fulham boss has helped to breathe new life into Melwood and is now targeting a starting berth in the forthcoming clashes with FK Rabotnicki and Arsenal.

"It was good to get the new kit on and play under the new manager," he said. "Everything feels fresh and it's nice to be involved. Hopefully I'll be involved in the next European game now before Arsenal.

"We've only been training 10 days, but it's always nice to get back out there on the pitch."

I couldn't agree more. In my opinion our captain is the best player ever to play in the Liverpool jersey and one of the best players of all time. He can do things that most players can only dream of and I'm confident that if we add a bit more quality to this team we'll see the best of him again.
 
He scores over Kenny in terms of pace. Where he's still a long way behind is in consistency of attitude - Kenny would NEVER have sulked around the way Stevie sometimes has. It's close, but I'd still give it to Kenny, at least for now.
 
It's almost impossible to compare really. They're clearly the two greatest, but Kenny was playing in a team that won the league almost every season. He was a big part of that, but he never had the club's fortunes resting on his shoulders the way Stevie has had almost from the beginning of his career. Stevie's had way more pressure with way less reward, so it's perhaps not surprising that he's been a bit more up and down emotionally. If he ever led us to league title, I think he'd be considered the greatest, but until/unless that happens, most people will probably say Kenny.
 
It depends on what you remember. I'm sure many around at the time would put Liddell ahead of both of them. And who are we to argue? You can never agree really.

That said, its Kenny 😉
