I cannot think of any midfielder in the world I would rather have than Gerrard.
Are you really that sure?
Do you support Liverpool by any chance?
Matt Le Tissier used to looked the worlds best player at Southampton. Now he had some skill for sure, however the other 10 players around him always ensured they helped him look this good.
If Lampard and Gerrard had played amazing games, do you think anyone would have commented "they did that having played so many games too and for so long"? Forget the excuses, they were both very poor. Period.
Yes I'm sure, and yes I openly support Liverpool.
Matt Le Tissier? LMAO is that really a comparison to Gerrard? Matt Le Tissier didn't play European football for starters. He did NO defensive work. I could go on and on about him... Steven Gerrard is one of the top 2 or 3 midfielders in the world. In my opinion (as a Liverpool fan) he is number 1.
He had 1 good game, 1 ok game and two not so good games and still scored 2 goals at this World Cup. Not bad after 70 odd great games this season for Liverpool.
2 bad games and he not world class? By that reckoning Ronaldinho is not world class, Riquelme's last game shows he's not either, Kaka is average after his last few games, John Terry has question marks over his head etc etc etc etc.
If we judged on people's last four games we wouldn't have many world class players really would we? I prefer to judge on Champions League and Premiership/La Liga/Serie A achievements by which Gerrard has set the benchmark for the rest in midfield.
