Over 80% pass succession rate over the last 2 seasons would suggest otherwise?

Compare that with players who do keep the ball :)

1) Xavi - Barcelona - 96.3 per cent

2) Mikel Arteta - Arsenal - 93.8 per cent

3) Clement Chantome - PSG - 93.5 per cent

4) Joe Allen - Liverpool - 92.6 per cent

5) Valon Behrami - Napoli - 92.5 per cent

6) Leon Britton - Swansea - 92.2 per cent

7) Paul Scholes - Manchester United - 92.1 per cent

8) Jack Rodwell - Manchester City - 92 per cent

9) Blaise Matuidi - PSG - 91.8 per cent

10) Samir Nasri - Manchester City - 91.5 per cent

11) Nigel de Jong - AC Milan - 91.4 per cent

12) Pedro - Barcelona - 91.2 per cent

13) Damien Duff - Fulham - 91.1 per cent

14) Rio Mavuba - Lille - 91.1 per cent

15) Jonathan de Guzman - 90.9 per cent

Those stats are irrelevant when arguing he doesn't give it away time and time again. 80% is hardly constantly giving it away.

In a direct team, there's nobody better. He's the best player to play for Liverpool in my life time and he's a true legend... But he's been the weak link in L'pools midfield this season simply because the change in style stifles his direct attacking instincts. You can see he's having to think more rather than just instinctively smashing a 50 yard ball to the feet of the striker or winger.

Great things have to come to an end though.

Shame your not old enough to have seen some of liverpools REAL greats

Also most of SG,s 50 yard balls dont go to feet They are just a 50/50 ball for forwards to battle for

Well, I don't know how you can imply that SG isn't a REAL great. He has almost single handily kept the club near the top for much of his career, it took two cowboys to destroy the entire club for it to fall apart.

He's lifted the most unlikely European cup, has a FA Cup final all to himself like a certain Stanley Matthews and has scored some of the best goals of the Premier League era.

He's stayed at the club he loves for his entire career in a society where loyalty an faithfulness is something to be smirked at rather than aspired to.

I spent much of my childhood sat in front of the VHS watching videos of Souness, Molby, Rush, Hansen, Terry Mc, Barnes, Grob, Clem, Hughes, Callaghan, St John, Keegan and Dalglish.

Gerrard is the modern day version of what each of those names was in their era. He will be remembered at Liverpool with as much adulation as King Kenny, Stevie Heighway, Roger Hunt etc etc.

Just been shit this season.

The European cup you talk about was won when Hamann came off the bench He changed the game not SG

Also what FA cup!!

To say Gerrard has been poor throughout his career is ridiculous,yes the last few years his age has caught up with him but poor come on !

I don't support any Prem club, but I can follow football. It's

Don't really understand all this interest and excitement discussing Premier League sides when we are surely Bristol City fans? I've only got one club.

I'm a bcfc supporter, but football as a whole is one of my interests. Why not discuss the Prem and how crap motd2 was this week. Most people who go to Ashton Gate on Saturday and watch motd later that evening. I'm sure no one on this forum discussed Aguero's dramatic prem winning goal last may because we didn't find out till June cos we don't know anything about football apart from our bcfc bubble.
