Can't really compare the likes of Stevie G with Ronaldo and Messi.
Completely different players. Though, in my opinion Gerrard is the best Central midfielder in the world. He performs consistently every season and makes Liverpool a better side.
Ronaldo had a very good season last year and deserves the accolades but he's nowhere to be seen this season and I'm hard pressed to think when he has shone against the top teams in the world. He does well against the lesser teams not so good against the top teams.
He's not though is he Messi is and he's scored 19 goals this season from midfield Gerrards got 13 thats 2 less than Ronaldo who's apparently having a stinker !!!
1 Nicolas Anelka Chelsea 15
2 Cristiano Ronaldo Man Utd 15
3 Steven Gerrard Liverpool 13
Also i wonder how many of his goals have come from a dead ball situation?
Gerrarrd is no where near best player lol
He isn't the best in England never mind the World
Liverpool have played Gerrard as a second striker in the whole mostly and his goals have come from there not as a box to box midfileder
All those who say he defends and he attacks blah blah its rubbish Liverpool play 4-4-1-1 Gerrad in the whole Mascherano does the cleaning up and Alonso sprays the ball around with his excellent passing Gerrard hardly defends he is asked to play the more attacking role as you only play Torres as the only recognized striker
Yes we know Gerrard can do both things well defend and attack but this season he has played as a second striker
Also i wonder how many of his goals have come from a dead ball situation?
No doubt Gerrard is good player as he and Torres moslty carry the rest of the rubbish through but never is he best in the world Not even close in my opinion
Messi is the best in the World no doubt in my mind!
The rest of the rubbish beat your fooking lot at anfield mate.
every dog has his day
:err: Messi and Ronaldo both attacking midfielders who can only play one way, Gerrard - all round midfielder who is all over the pitch how can you compare the 3?
Theres a surprise, I wouldnt expect a manc to admit that a liverpool player is the best in the world at the moment but i think i would take the opinion of one of the most respected players in the world over yours .
It's not about comparisons is it...........It's who's the better player full stop, that's the point of the award (or theyd give one out for every position on the park).......Last year it was Ronaldo and this years it's Messi, Gerrards got a long way to go to get anywhere near that trophy. Michael Essien had him in his pocket last night, best player in the world LOL absolutely no chance.
the night is ours:Clap::Clap:
After Manchester United beat Aston Villa, Sir Alex Ferguson was asked who he thought posed the bigger threat to us winning the Premier League for a third consecutive year. Our boss, in all his wisdom, said the winner of the Chelsea vs Liverpool Champions League quarter-finals, with their boosted confidence, would probably be the most dangerous.
For whatever reason, Rafael Benitez took offence to this. Maybe it was the voices in his head or maybe he forgot to take his medication, but he was not a happy bunny at all.
The man who spent five minutes of a press conference for his side’s match against Stoke City talking about Sir Alex Ferguson, insanely claimed that he didn’t like to talk about other teams. He also claimed that Ferguson was “scared” of the team a point behind us the league, despite playing a game more. Hmmm.
POP… what’s that sound? Could it be their bubble bursting?
“Ferguson likes to talk too much about other teams.” Fact? Fiction. Ferguson was simply answering a question posed to him by the press.
“Maybe he is a little bit scared.” Fact? Fiction. We beat Chelsea 3-0 at home. We are one point clear at the top. We have a game in hand. Scared? Of a manager who has never even finished in the top two in England and a team who haven’t won the league for almost two decades?
“Ferguson will be supporting Liverpool because we are the biggest threat now.” Fact? Fiction. There are just three points between Chelsea and Liverpool in the league and like Fergie pointed out before the game, the winner will have all the confidence and self-belief going. Also, our manager would never support the vermin. He’s not a masochist remember!
With five minutes to go and Liverpool desperately needing a goal, the only atmosphere audible on the television was the ever-creative Chelsea fans, chanting “We love you Chelsea, we do!”. Two minutes to go, it was “Gerrard, what’s the score?” that could be heard above all else. One minute to go and it was “We want four!”. As injury time came about, “where’s your famous atmosphere?”. In between the rentboy piss-taking, there was a diluted chorus of YNWA, but as soon as the corner amounted to nothing, they fell silent again. Getting owned by fucking Chelsea fans?!
So, who’s scared now, you fat Spanish waiter? And tranny (Torres) won’t be happy!
You beat chelsea 3-0 at home, so what ? we beat you 4-1 at your home, where are you going with this ?
as for the atmosphere, at 3-1 down what would you expect, shellshocked was the feeling in general, but YNWA was still loud and proud.
I am pretty sure I heard a pin drop at old trafford tuesday night after the final whistle
Chelsea played really well last night and deserved the win, but why is that a signal for you to spout your usual bollox, its not like you owned lowly Porto on Tuesday is it ? Porto were stuffed by Arsenal 4-0 this season, thought you might have remembered that with the way you like to compare results, lol.
Anyway forgetting Ronaldo121's usual dross, does Rafa call it a day in the champions league and rest players against the chav's in the second leg, or does he go all out to try and turn this around, slim as the chances are of doing that ?
