Let's assume we get to the cup final and Rodgers starts him. He's just as likely to have a Gazza-type Cup Final as he is a repeat of his performance in Cardiff. That's my point.
Not sure about that.
Last year he slipped. F*cking hell everyone can slip and he actually tried incredibly hard to atone for it in the 2nd half but it just wasn't our day.
Yesterday he watched on as Utd F*cking swanned around owning us on our own pitch and nobody seemed capable of putting a boot through them.
He's a local lad with local pride who came on wanted to put a bit of fear into them and his first tackle was boss.
The 2nd was stupid and he went for it but to say he would be liability in a cup final is crazy.
He's scored in the FA Cup final, the Uefa Cup final, the League Cup final, The Champions League final.
In fact when it comes to finals he's the only player to ever score in every major one.
Expecting him to perform if he was started, if we get there should be the least of concerns.
Spurs won that cup though.
He scored for Chelsea in the Carling Cup final too
We didn't want to win everything that year anyway.
Just made Istanbul all the better. You know the game where we were dead and buried and Gerrard scored the first with a sublime header, won the penalty for the 2nd came from with a driving run (and dive ) and dragged us kicking and screaming to Victory. To our 5th European cup. Ya that lad let's not start him
In a cup final
Stamping on someone is fucking brainless. Fine, go for a big challenge before to get the team fired up etc and you might get a yellow.. stamping though, literally nothing good can come from it. Even if the lino hadnt spotted it he would be in front of an FA panel.
Idiotic. Easiest way to ensure we don't win the game. Cheers Stevie! I'd like us to have less idiots on the pitch and more intelligent players.

Thing is with Stevie..
Despite his brilliance over they years he has always come across as a bit of a dense 'scouse' fucker.. erm.. yeh.. erm..
This incident just hightens that

He's not always the Messiah though, just a very naughty boy sometimes.
Nope. Fans - real fans, if you want to play that sillly game - cheered him in the past when he did those great things, and criticised him yesterday when he did a moronic thing. Real fans aren't girly cheerleaders who hide in the past from present realities.
Loved his first tackle on Mata and then was disappointed with his stamp. Unnecessary and cost us. I was angry at him for his stupidity in that moment but I don't 'hate' Gerrard for it. I think it's also harsh that our own fans (not just here but in the general domain) are now citing this random sending off as a 'highlight' in his career along with other mistakes he's made. He played at the top for 17 years, he has obviously been the creator of some incidents that we'd all like to forget but let's not forget the amazing moments he also gave us. Some would callously send him packing to LA tomorrow if they had the chance.
Maybe I'm just being a sentimental twat but I, like Ryan and a few others, felt for him as he trudged off Anfield. I was pissed off with him but still felt for him. No one wanted his twilight years ending like they have, (Slip and a red card against United) but lets not start sticking the knife into him yet.

I cannot believe the utter shite being spouted in this thread. Some by people who often speak sense.
What if they're agoraphobic transvestites though?
Not sure. If they're angoraphobic transvestites they're probably just trying to avoid Birkenhead.
Gerrard's red was exasperating but I think it gave us the fire that we needed to play like men in the second half, when previously we had been playing like cunts.
Aggression in professional sports requires control and Gerrard lost his. But he put it back into the pussies we had left out there.

I'm not sure. Isn't that part of what made him seem, sadly, a bit 'old' yesterday? Going on thinking a couple of brutal tackles would get things started? There are many ways to show and trigger a sense of urgency, but in this day and age I fear the 'knock an opponent into the air' method is a bit past it. And don't forget: the first half didn't just see us being too timid, it also saw the referee, in spite of this, penalise us - ludicrously - for over-aggression. So it wasn't the best reading of the game - that specific game - to come on and start flying through opponents under the nose of a ref who'd already marked Allen as a bit dirty.
Red tinted from too many in here. Yesterday doesn't affect Stevies overall time here, but I personally wish he'd have fucked off to Galaxy at the beginning of the season, the lad can still tuck away a pen but he has been a shadow since that groin started kicking off again a couple of years ago, a 3 month purple patch before that slip doesn't change that. He's been a great player, he's won all sorts, but he's always been a bit of a div and a mediocre captain, yesterday showed both.
.......and the old Rosco too, while we're at it.
It was, but most of us are a bit out of date, too, when it comes to the refereeing culture of today. The thing that's always been the case with Steven is that he seems most likely to act like that when there's a ref who's clearly in the mood to take the bait. I remember when Graham Poll was reffing a game, he had that look about him that he was ready for some eye-catching 'Poll Moment' and, sure enough, Gerrard blasted into someone, right under his nose, and Poll could barely contain his relish as he brandished the red card. Today there are few refs who don't act like Poll, so there's no point in handing them the initiative just for a few cheers.
