"I've gone on record about this before and I'll say it again, Steven Gerrard is possibly the finest midfielder player ever to play for Liverpool Football Club.
He is so influential. I'd definitely put him in the same bracket as Graeme Souness. Everyone knows how great a player Graeme was and it just goes to show how highly I rate Gerrard. They are different types of players with different strengths. Stevie can get up and down the pitch, whereas Graeme couldn't! But, seriously, I'd put them on a par in terms of greatness.
Gerrard has virtually carried Liverpool for the past two years and it's so important for the club that he stays. Any club would want him in their side and will be a sad day if does ever decides to leave because as well as being such a great player he's also a true Scouser and a Liverpudlian through and through."
Liverpool’s current Premier League campaign has been one of contrast, strong attacking output on one hand, and periods of inconsistency on the other. A statistical breakdown of their season reveals a team still competing at a high level, but one that has not fully matched the dominance of their strongest recent campaigns.
There's a reason Liverpool supporters have developed a habit of holding their breath when big news breaks. The club operates at extremes. Decisions that look questionable on announcement day end up defining trophy-winning eras, while others that seemed perfectly sensible at the time dragged the club backwards for the better part of three or four years.
Liverpool has already said goodbye to some significant players, but some of them have a different emotional coloring. They do not simply eliminate good in the team. They change the figure of a team in their heads. Andy Robertson is one of them. He is more than a left-back, as he has been doing so for almost ten years. He has been one of the most articulate translations of the Liverpool character: tough, violent, sentimental and never backward.
