How do you figure?

because other people have been just as responsible for 'keeping rafa in a job'.
CL final - (I wont mention the contributions of several individuals on the way to the final)
gerrard scored the first goal, very important but the likes didi (inspirational) smicer goal plus alonso's pen. djimi clearing off the the line dudeks double save.
fa cup
scores the goal to take us to injury time but there were significate players who ran themselves into the ground in normal and extra time.
and then you have the league where gerrard was scoring for fun, but least be honest here rafa's positioning of gerrard as a forwards is 'the' reason for gerrard filling his boots. its not rocket science he scored more goals as he less defensive duties and was closer to goal.
gerrard did a lot for rafa but equally rafa did a lot for gerrard.
