Does anyone else think Gerrard is lucky to be the top 10 let alone near the top of the list?
I may sound list a bitter Liverpool hater there but I'm being genuinely curiousDoes anyone else think Gerrard is lucky to be the top 10 let alone near the top of the list?
This. Its why Eric and Bruce are not on the list. Bruce was inspirational. Captained us to the double ffs after captioning us to our first league in 26 years yet henderson is on the list ahead of them?Was going to turn over when Cantona wasn’t even on the list when really he’s number 1. I stuck with it and then Shearer has Henderson ahead of Vidic and Kompany so turned over immediately.
There’s so much amnesia in football. Debates based on myth with serious recency bias and nobody can fecking remember anything.
This reply is applicable in most threads in this forum to be honestHenderson? FFS
Yep. He actively cost them a league title by slipping then shooting from everywhere in an attempt to save his own reputation. This after his epic leadership of giving a speech on the pitch. Something Phil Brown was laughed at for.Does anyone else think Gerrard is lucky to be the top 10 let alone near the top of the list?
My thoughts exactly, Shearer's reasoning for putting him so high in the list was bizarre also - "look at the amount of appearances he has" by that logic Garth Barry should be on the list. Gerrard was a fine player, no doubt about it but as a captain in the Premier League he was a failure.Yep.

Exactly. If you're including captains that never won the thing then there's better examples than him surely.My thoughts exactly, Shearer's reasoning for putting him so high in the list was bizarre also - "look at the amount of appearances he has" by that logic Garth Barry should be on the list.

He slipped. Its a sympathy vote.What did Gerrard do in the PL do get such a high ranking?
Tbf John Terry cost Chelsea a CL by slipping and tried his best to cost them another one by randomly kneeing an opposing player in the back for no reason and making his team play with 10 men against probably the most difficult team you can, yet people still put him in top 10.Yep.

Several league titles, best defensive record in a season etc.Tbf John Terry cost Chelsea a CL by slipping and tried his best to cost them another one by randomly kneeing an opposing player in the back for no reason and making his team play with 10 men against probably the most difficult team you can, yet people still put him in top 10.
Kompany won four tittles as City captain. Vidic maybe only one or two. He captained United for 4 seasons (81 games).Kompany ahead of Vidic -
feck sake Tim Sherwood should be in there if anythingHenderson is in there because the BBC have to have the liverpool love in on everything. Liverpool haven't even won one PL and have two captains in there, United have two, tells me everything I need to know about that list. I can make an argument for Gerrard as he was class, and hauled them along to even stay in the top 6. However I never really am sure if he was a great "captain" or just a great player?
