Must be talking about this decade.It seems bizarre to pick a Liverpool team without Gerrard and, in truth, a case can be made to have the Kop legend in this one. His lack of a major trophy is all that counts against him.
Torres.
His article lost credibility as soon as it left out Gerrard for hendo. Plus in 2009 didnt we still have alonso and mascherano and the famed best midfield in the world?
Gerrard mostly didn't play this decade. His last year and a bit he was a shadow of himself. So, in a way, I get it.
But just think about the nature of this discussion. We've got Fabinho in based on one season, and a mostly past-it Gerrard, who retired halfway through, heavily in the discussion. Then, we've got Firmino in as an AM with Suarez, who wouldn't play together.
I think we'd have a league title this decade, if we had a better answer to this question. Our midfield is OK. Its got players like Wijnaldum that can look world class sometimes, and its got a lot of very good hard workers. We need SOME of those.
Gerrard played 190 times this decade for us, scoring 60 times. He also had countless assists not to mention a great habit of scoring against Utd and Everton including a hat trick. He was the leagues top assists man captained us to a league cup win and was instrumental is getting us so close in 13/14 finishing as the leagues best goal creator.
He simply has to be in the team.
Reina perhaps?
Yeah, I wish a faded Gerrard didn't HAVE to, was my point. Because it would say something about our midfield now.
Henderson in the team of the decade ?
Lol
Replacing who, if SG takes Hendo's place?Surely Coutinho has to be in
Hate to say it, but it'd have to be FirminoReplacing who, if SG takes Hendo's place?
Noooooo!Hate to say it, but it'd have to be Firmino
