Steven Gerrard

Everyone hates him on here obviously.


However, if there was one player who I think could make a massive improvement to United it would be a clone of Gerrard - with a different name and aarccent!


He is superb
 
He's lost the will to play for a crap team, under a crap manager, and crap fans. Stevie needs to be loved :rolleyes:

IF (when) they don't break the top 4, he'll be gone as will Torres and the Argentine. The former two will have no problem finding suitors (knock knock Citeh, Barca) but Gerrard may find it difficult as his price tag won't match his evaluation.

Chelsea wanted him so ways back but doubt they need another old wag. We won't take him. City may for the publicity. Arsenal won't. The rest can't afford him or it wouldn't do them any good. So maybe abroad?

Please, Gerrard gets away with a hell of a lot compared to Rooney. When was the last time Gerrard was sent off in a match? He constantly gets let away with things. I've seen Rooney in recent seasons act a very silly boy and gets sent off for it, and quite rightly so. Like clapping in a ref's face or throwing the ball in a temper towards a ref (last season away to Fulham). Both he got sent off for and he was right to be sent off. Gerrard is portrayed as this darling who does no wrong, when clearly he does.

I just think there needs to be consistency from referees for dissent and things.
 
Peak Gerrard would be lovely to have in a United shirt.

If I had to pick one player to play for us it'd be Torregas.
 
Nothing is going to happen to him - the affray charge video was far more condemning and he got away with it.

Love it when he missed the sitter ... couldn't have happened to a nicer player, playing at a nicer club ...
 
He was abysmal last night. Everytime he got the ball the move broke down. Aquilani looked more threatening and better on the ball in his 20min cameo than Gerrard did the whole night. He just shouted at his own players and lost the ball for 90mins.

I dont think i've seen him play worse...

Benitez should stick him on the right again and have Aquilani as the link man with Torres.

that would involve benitez showing faith in one of his new signings though.
 
Steven Gerrard is unlikely to face any disciplinary action from the Football Association for allegedly making a two fingered gesture to referee Andre Marriner during Liverpool’s 1-0 defeat by Wigan Athletic.

The Liverpool captain’s run-in with Marriner after being booked for a foul was caught on camera but the referee saw the incident at the time and deemed it unworthy of any further punishment.

Only in the event of Marriner reconsidering his verdict would the FA be likely to intervene and with Liverpool club officials adamant that Gerrard’s gesture was neither offensive nor aimed at the referee, football’s governing body is ready to let the matter drop.

Replays suggested that Gerrard had gestured towards Marriner and mouthed an obscenity at the official after he was booked in the 81st minute of the game at the DW Stadium, following a robust challenge from behind on James McCarthy.

Steven Gerrard unlikely to face FA action over two-fingered 'gesture' | Liverpool - Times Online
 
If that had been Rooney....... four match ban for Evra
 
Been absolutely nowhere near his best this season, and also for large parts of last season. It's fecking wonderful, but also a bit disturbing given the fact he's going to be one of our key players going into the world cup.
 
When Steven Gerrard walked away from the referee mouthing 'feck off' and flicking a V-sign towards him I held my breath in horror. He's going to get a straight red, I thought, and he will be ruled out of their visit to Old Trafford.

But of course it is Stevie Me so the ref let him go and now I hear that he's unlikely to reconsider his decision, meaning that the FA will let the matter drop, allowing Gerrard to get away without any punishment.

Normally, I would rage against the injustice which I should have learnt to accept a long time ago but this time I realized that the FA wanted to help us! Consider this: if they ban Gerrard, Liverpool would be forced to play someone else at Old Trafford, someone who might actually give a damn about the season and who doesn't act like some sulky primadonna. In our current state, that might have been disastrous.

Instead we'll get this Gerrard who barely had a kick of the ball at Wigan, a side we hit for five twice this season. Thanks FA!

Manchester United - Unexpectedly, The FA Gives United A Massive Boost
 
Poor Gerrard, perhaps he should have held out a bit longer for United to offer him a scholarship in the 90s. Then he would know what it's like to play for a champion. He'd have oh, what is the count, erm, let's say he broke through in 98-99 with Wes... that's 7 league medals, 2 CLs, 2 FACs (maybe 3-4 as he might have made a different vs Arsenal and Chelsea), 3 LCs (maybe 4 as he might have made a difference vs Liverpool). That's about triple the medal haul he currently has.
 
an infected groin......sounds like someone enjoyed the Asian tour a bit too much
