@@davidn4460 its like the golden age of football has died for many of these players. do you remember Van Nistel rooy? robihno? messi back in the early 2000s
My favourite Liverpool of all time. Watched him pretty much his whole career at Liverpool. To think that he remained at Liverpool during our darkest days and carrying the team is a amazing. Sadly he couldn’t retire with a league medal with us
What a FUCKING GOOAAAALLL that was. What a game what a year. Liverpool beat Juventus and Chelsea to reach the final as well as olympiakos and all of them games were dramatic. Remember Luis Garcia's peach of a goal against Juventus? What a season man I was only 13 but can remember it all.
2:12 Gerrard had already avenged Salah for what Sérgio Ramos did to him.. 🤣 Gerrard always ahead of the others, he already knew everything, a genius 🔥🔥🔥🤣
@@justgideon you are free to have an opinion and it might be true for you but I don't have to agree with it. Stevie was the captain for 10yrs or so, he must have been doing something right. For me Hendo was a work in progress and like I said big respect to him, he is our captain now.
@@mandaroncondlima2832 I didn't say you have to agree with my opinion. I did say that Gerrard was the better player. But when it comes to leadership qualities, one is very unlikely to succeed if one does not incorporate barking orders to other teammates on the football pitch, which SG never did. Look at all the successful captains of other premiership winning teams, most of them were talkers or shouters.
@@justgideon the moment you say it's true or say thing like he's a great player but...means I have to accept you are right and the facts you are detailing the skills says so. Like I said you are free to your choice, I did mentioned SG will be MY captain fantastic, I don't speak for all liverpool fans. I'm bias for SG so we'll just agree to disagree.
Nah he was a special player no doubt but he wasn't an all rounder. He didn't run games, he was more of an impact player. Yeah he could play different positions but he only had one style of play, which is top gear all the time. Not a knock, Gerrard is one of my favourite players of all time. It's just loads of people say he was an all round player and it's just not true. He didn't slow games down like some other players did, he had to have the team built to fit his style. You could say the same of Messi so it's not a criticism.
Tom Chamberlain he could most definitely run a game but he didn’t air on the side of caution like a lot of these two metre sideways passing ‘controllers’...
He was a one man army.All action. Defends tackles, fouls, dribbles,scores goals ,assists what not. No pretentious of his status yet imperious. Takes yellow or red cards for the team. Wish we had Stevie now in this Klopp team or somebody like him.
What a legend. A player who could truly play at a world class level anywhere on the pitch, and could go to any big club to win any trophy but followed his heart and took the task of keeping Liverpool FC's great name high upon his shoulders. YNWA Steven Gerrard.
@@realnesx " By far"? What utter bollocks! Gerrard was surrounded by World Cup winners plus top quality like Mascherano, Hyppia, Carra, Hammann, etc etc etc.
@@realnesx Nonsense. Liverpool had some great teams. I would argue that the 2008/09 team was one of Liverpools best in the PL era. Rafa Benitez screwed the fans over by prioritising Champions League glory over winning the league, which they should have done comfortably.
I have no idea how ended up here. Chelsea fan and massive respect to Gerard, especially his loyalty to his club. I wish JM was able to get him to Stamford Bridge, but I understand where his heart was. Pure class. Totally owned Real here.
It's actually because of the injury. The downfall also came when he wanted to leave liverpool because he believed that the team wasn't ready to win anything. Enough said he is right afterall, but would still be a legend in liverpool if he stayed imo
@@CoolDude-jp1kj looool are you serious? You need to get a grip and stop pretending you are a liverpool fan if you don’t understand how shit they have been for 40 years, apart from the last season or two
Not a Liverpool fan, but Gerrard was the outstanding Captain of his era. In a poor Liverpool team he won them the champions league and a hair away from the premier league. Scholes, Lampard were great but played in great teams.
His second goal he scores in this game is so underrated. Such a hard skill to do taking that ball on the bounce and to be able to direct it the way he did is unbelievable. One of the best ever
Gerard, absolute legend for Liverpool. Can’t count the amount of times his desire and skill lifted the team up in big matches. If anyone deserved a Premier League title than surely it was him.
Torres and Gerrard as a partnership in their prime were immense. But Torres was chasing the bright lights and the money whilst Gerrard was quietly becoming a legend, not just at Anfield but in world football. Any team would have welcomed him, whereas just one move away from Liverpool saw Torres disappear into the shadows. Had he stayed at Anfield, stayed fit and focused, we could now be talking about him in the same way as Gerrard.
after i learnt about the fact how real madrid tried to sign Stevie right after the game infact Raul himself asked him if there was any chance he would come to spain and join them, i had to come watch this legendary performance again.
I miss the Talisman so much.. i'm glad that i get to live to see him play since he was young until he retired. Although he did not have an EPL title, he always won my heart over that UCL Istanbul's title win over AC Milan with a splendid leadership and morale boost to make a comeback in a final. Nothing but respect for this lad
he may have never have won that title (Just a champions league and FA cup single handed) - but he will always be remembered as the greatest centre mid LFC ever had
Probably because half of this video is average touches and basic passes. Gerrard had an amazing game that night and this video makes him look like an average player who had a few good touches.
What an air he had about him and the respect his teammates and fans had for him.I watched him for the first time and fell in love with him&Liverpool.Been a Red ever since.It's not just a club, it's a house hold for great but humble players& coaches
We need more dirtyness in the modern game we need more players not afraid to take risks to make them known about something like gerrard for his long shots free kicks and all roundness thierry henry speed lethal strike strength agility and skills everyone just does the same thing
@@24sumo No he said Gerrard was the best player and only player he wanted partnering him. He said Scholes was the best of his generation before Gerrard came but when Gerrard arrived on the scene he was simply the best and the world accepts that. Only Zidane and Iniesta were ahead of Gerrard. In terms of quality he was unbeatable and he played for an average Liverpool team and beat giants like Juve, Madrid, Barca etc I don’t think anyone can do what Gerrard did not even Messi because Gerrard did defence and attack. Literally carried the team
@@zub41r75 why make things up? its very easy to fin. He literally said at this moment in time gerrard is the best in the world. He said Scholes was the best of his generation. its not hard to work out who he thought was better
1997- 2008 was the best time for football. the greatest of the greatest played during that time.. we will never experience football the same way as before..
What a football player best of his generation in English football everything 100% now its showing in his managerial skills. rangers 23 games undefeated in domestic and europe
I always found Gerrard to be a different kind of player. He's quite an interesting player - he's got a unique technique the likes of Zidane, Beckham, Figo, R9, Messi and Ronaldo have - each different but very effective. He does have some similarities to Zidane, but he's more direct and dynamic at times. Hadn't seen prime Gerrard for a while - I just remember his extreme physical demise in his last few seasons. I guess those early years playing (wasn't he 17,18 when he played first team football?) and all those calf, thigh and hip problems he had lead to his rapid slowing.
Not even a LFC fan! But Gerrard was a superb player and it’s great to hear a football crowd at the moment! When this convid is over a match will be awesome👍
@@mickmcc3129 SG "carrying" LFC is the biggest myth in the history of the club. Gerrard was surrounded by World Cup winners plus top quality like Mascherano, Hyppia, Carra, Hammann, Suarez, Sterling, Sturridge etc etc etc.
I was actually impressed with Casillas that day..it could've easily been 10-0..save after save and leaked in 4..Benitez Liverpool were relentless at that time..
@@Anfield_Legend shoot! I just realised. I share the same acount as my brother. Utd supporter😬and he unsubbed so i didnt get the notification for the last few vids but this came in my recomedations. Ive subbed back,im making a new account for my brother and im going to watch everything i missed. YNWA
@@sulyah Gerrard wasn't a defensive mid at the time. He was more of an attacking mid. It wasn't until under Rodgers that Gerrard started playing deeper.
Classic midfielder in the British school of skill, heart, energy and not willing to take sh*t from anyone! Privileged to see him play...even if I am an Arsenal supporter! He was class.
@@brentmeistergeneral6074 Not really true though. Reina, Carra, Agger, Hyppia, Aurelio, Gerrard, Mascherano, Alonso and Torres were all great players who played together. There are also more examples. Besides, how many "great players" did Leicester have when they won it?
Johnny Rocker of all those players there were three world class players and a few good ones. Not comparable with the Utd’s at the time. Leicester was a complete freak one-off.
What an amazing player! Best of all time for the reds...... Imagine him,Torres in the Liverpool team of today.....wow 💥 Thanks for all the great memories......LEGEND. YNWA
Good ol' times... Just to watch FC Liverpool beating Real is awesome. In special Steven, he Fights like a lion. And his skills are amazing. In Germany we had Stefan Effenberg.
