Ryan_1 1,136 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 There was a time when Gerrard could say he was up there with Xavi and Iniesta, but not now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaguy51 912 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 As I've said before, if Gerrard had moved on to the continent four or five years ago, there's a good chance he could be up there with the Barca boys.He's been held back by his love for Liverpool, maybe in the same way any of us would be held back by our love for Rangers. In some ways it's daft, but in some ways you've got to give him credit.Sadly, for Stevie G, he's now being dragged down by the utter shite that surrounds him.

rfcfraserrfc 262 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Lampard and Gerrard are more combative than Xavi and Iniesta sure, but Xavi and Iniesta are so good technically that they don't really have to be!Who cares if you can't win a 50/50 if you rarely, if ever, need to get into such a situation?Would interest me to see if Xavi could hack it in any other league without players like messi, iniesta etc. constantly running and giving him options all the time.Whereas Gerrard has players like N'Gog infront of him Imagine Gerrard in Barca's team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before Messi, there would have been Rivaldo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaguy51 912 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I think the 'Messi would struggle more in England' claim is one with a wee bit of weight behind it actually.Some of the free kicks he gets in Spain, especially at Camp Nou, are cringeworthy.

Now I'm reading it it seems odd..Gerrard is better at, say, scoring goals. But Xavi is better at retaining possession. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coach said technically he's got it, but his physique may not be good enough pretty much.Anyway, these two will go down as two of Barca's greatest players if they keep it up.
