An incredible player, sui generis. Personally I felt there was always a certain coldness about him, as a character, that stopped me ever really loving him as much as I did a few others, but it's impossible not to respect him immensely and feel honoured to have been around to witness his whole career. A genuine one-off, and an extraordinary force of nature.
Philipe Coutinho @Phil_Coutinho - Jan 02Don't what all the fuss is about with Stevie me. He's been shit for a while now!
Dejan Lovren @DejanLovrenLFC6 · Jan 02 Gerrard's a bit of prick when you get to know him. Glad he's off.
i'll be made up to see gerrard out the team but we have no leaders to replace him and i don't think we have the means to address it. we're going to become a feeder club developing kids for the rich cunts.
I echo this really.
I can't put in to words how much I appreicate and respect Steven Gerrard as a footballer. He has give me some of my happiest moments not just in football, but in life, and I'll always be grateful. A scally looking lad from Huyton turned into one the finest footballers in front of our eyes and we were fortunate in that he loved the club just as much as we loved him. It's Roy of the Rovers shit and it's extremely rare. He delivered time and time again, on the highest stage. When even the most optimistic fan has given up, Steven Gerrard found a way. For a man who so often delivered the fairytale ending, it seems sad that his career hasn't ended in a similar fashion. He should have been walking around Anfield with the Premier League in his arms. Lord knows he deserved it. One slip cost him his greatest prize and that is cruel.
It's not sad that he's leaving now though. It would be sadder for him to continue and to witness his decline further. Part of me would like him to be released now just so we can begin the process of moving on and be ready for next year. As for Gerrard, I hope he finds his new challenge exciting, his wages huge and the sunshine constant. Good luck to him.

i refuse to believe rossiter is any good. there's a new scouser (is he a scouser?) every year who gets talked up like this. never seen him play though.
I watched his performance, with interest, in the League Cup - and he looked ok (for a youngster starting his first senior game).
.... but then nothing.... I thought he'd get a few late sub appearances in the league.
What's the deal - is he ready to be a part of the first team squad & slot into the midfield?
I've heard lots of good things. In that game I thought Jordan Williams (was that his name? the other young CM) was more impressive but both gave very good performances.
Different positions though Modo.
Even then - sterling & Suso's development has gone different ways.
You've always championed McLaughlin as well - that hasn't happen end either.
That's not a dig at you - by the way.
Sure they had different positions but they were dominant when they played and it was easy to see. I'm not sure Rossiter is as rated nationwide as Suso and Raheem were.
Injuries have hampered McLaughlin's development. He's just been unlucky.
Yeah he's no Christian Poulsen.
I'm going to have to get Woland's son to teach me how to sneak into Anfield. Really want to get into the ground for his last game. Can I start a queue for tickets? I will offer face value and a kidney.
Gerrard is my favourite player ever. We knew this was coming but it's still tough to actually read it.
He's big and he's fucking hard...

People develop at different rates. From what I have seen of Rossiter, and that's quite a bit, he's an excellent prospect. If we handle him well, he could be a very good player.
Yeah I would love to be there for his last game.
This morning when I read the news I was a little numb. Over the course of the day that feeling of being immensely gutted has replaced it. Fuck me what a player! I'll follow with particular interest what he does next but I just know he'll be back. The day he does will be a fucking boss one!
According to the echo tickets for the last league game are going for £600.
I just realised he won't be coming back. By going to the states and in referring to different experiences and regrets, I get the feeling he'll sort out loans to Spanish and Italian clubs during his off-seasons. That would be a nice way to end his career actually. It may prove how good he actually is when he takes the piss in those leagues.
And yet other players who really tear it up in the reserves (Neil Mellor being the obvious answer but there's countless others) fail at the top level.
