Ryan_1 1,136 Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Messi, Iniesta and Gerrard.Probably my three favourite players (could also add Ozil to that).Some people on here don't have a clue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

papaguy51 941 Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Gerrard is over rated IMOI don't actually think Gerrard is overrated, but I see where you're coming from.His love for Liverpool has really held him back. If he'd moved on to the continent two or three years ago I think we'd be looking at the best English player of his generation.Some of his individual performances over the years have been nothing short of world class and he's sadly getting dragged down by the shite around him.

Ryan_1 1,136 Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Gerrard is over rated IMOFar from over rated, IMO, he is been affected by the team he is in and injury. I can't argue against the fact that he hasn't been the same for about a season and a bit though.The most complete midfielder in the world, obviously when on top of his game.

Scott-RFC 308 Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 As have the players around him, any player in the world, especially someone like Gerrard who thrives on good movement around him, would struggle in that Liverpool team. Xavi wouldnt look half as good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irwin Sparkes 97 Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Frank Lampard - can't play in a 4-4-2, can't tackle, never ever dominates a midfield (though technically it's not really his job)Steven Gerrard - good player but extremely overrated by Liverpool fansDirk Kuyt - epitome of averageEric Abidal - never ever been impressed by himDida - how he played for Milan for so long is beyond meMassimo Ambrosini - as aboveAndrey Arshavin - nobody had heard of him until he was 27, has done virtually nothing in the last 18 monthsRobbie Keane - John Motson once called him "the best technical forward in the Premiership" absolute nonsense, average beyond beliefRobin Van Persie - When he's out injured, he's talked of as if he's on par with Messi and Ronaldo. A decent quality forward but not world class and extremely unreliableMarouane Chamakh - he's looked utterly rancid in every game i've seen him playFranck Ribery - i've never actually witnessed him have a good game, though granted i've only seen him play about 10 times (though surely if he was THAT good he would've impressed in some of them?)

wearethemighty 186 Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Laliga is the best league with Bundesliga next then the EPL. EPL may have the most money but its also got more debt than Laliga, Bundesliga and Serie A combined. Players only want to play in the EPL because they'll get far more in wages than anywhere else, Yaya Toure is the perfect example, 220k per week! An overrated league full of talentless players given way touch hype. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 56,413 Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I think Gerrard is a good player, but he gets so much hype it's unreal.If he played for anybody else I don't think he would half the player he is. His love for Liverpool pretty much makes him the player that he is.And as for this dragged down by the shite around him, I don't buy it for a second.Merieles, J Cole, Poulson, Torres & Kuyt are all good players, who have experience at the same level that Gerrard does and he's still playing absolutly terrible.Gerrard needs a water carrier in midfield to allow him to play to his strengths (Alonso carried Gerrard for years and before that it was Hamman) because his positional awareness, tactical discipline and his tackling really isn't that good.
