"It was practically an accident.
As far as wriggling goes, 'tis a quote of Wenger-esque proportions. Nice one Gerard.

You on the crack pipe or what, Carra?

A newly opened hotel located in Indonesia in 2011 was named Stevie G in honour of him by the Liverpool supporting owners.[123]
― Stop Gerrying Me! (onimo), Tuesday, 22 January 2013 12:32 (twelve years ago)
the difference was they were in a world-class team - and Stevie has not played in a world-class team
I like how this becomes evidence *for* Gerrard's greatness (I'm coming back round to him again btw, I think he's been excellent lately)
― Ismael Klata, Tuesday, 22 January 2013 12:38 (twelve years ago)
Carra's got that classic 21st century "football started in 1992" brain hasn't he?
― you jelly like bitter lemon (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 22 January 2013 12:40 (twelve years ago)
I think you confused classic with dud there.
― Stop Gerrying Me! (onimo), Tuesday, 22 January 2013 12:41 (twelve years ago)
It's not particularly controversial, he prob is among their best ever players, he's been bad for 2/3 seasons but he was excellent for a long time before that.

glad we're discussing this two-day old story on a dedicated thread tho.
― Hutton dressed as Lahm (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 22 January 2013 12:44 (twelve years ago)
"among" isn't quite the same as G.O.A.T. tho, also Gerrard due his own "over/underrated" poll soon
― you jelly like bitter lemon (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 22 January 2013 12:45 (twelve years ago)
when you get into the realms of "among" i'm willing to let people have their own subjective takes on who actually is the best, not least when it's comparing people across eras.
― Hutton dressed as Lahm (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 22 January 2013 12:47 (twelve years ago)
I wouldn't argue with top ten but any top one that doesn't have Kenny Dalglish in it is a fucking joke.
― Stop Gerrying Me! (onimo), Tuesday, 22 January 2013 12:54 (twelve years ago)
showing my age when i say that the worst of all-time captures my imagination more.
― Hutton dressed as Lahm (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 22 January 2013 12:58 (twelve years ago)
Dalglish, Barnes, Beardsley, Torres, Gerrard, Alonso, Suarez, Fowler, Rush, McManaman - of the ones I can remember, and can remember right now.
Haha - worst, there's a thought
― Ismael Klata, Tuesday, 22 January 2013 13:00 (twelve years ago)
You forgot Traore.

Sammy Lee
― you jelly like bitter lemon (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 22 January 2013 13:27 (twelve years ago)
i have no idea how Sammy Lee had a career
what age are you? in any case i'm fairly sure picking a shit liverpool xi post-1992 is practically ideal.
― Hutton dressed as Lahm (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 22 January 2013 14:01 (twelve years ago)
Fair

I was thinking there might be space for a Dioufy or a Harry Kewell but I genuinely can't remember who some of Local Garda's team ever were.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 22 January 2013 14:21 (twelve years ago)
in robbie fowler's book (best afternoon of my life) he argues fairly convincingly that ferri was signed by houllier purely to spy on the other players and report back.
― Hutton dressed as Lahm (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 22 January 2013 14:22 (twelve years ago)
Was Adam really so shit for you that he keeps Christian Poulsen out of the team?
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 22 January 2013 14:23 (twelve years ago)
no probably not, and there are worse as well too i'm sure. paul stewart? and some bloke in the souness era who used to be a figure of fun but i can't quite remember, istvan something? so i'm now googling.

― Hutton dressed as Lahm (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 22 January 2013 14:25 (twelve years ago)
Ha, I was going to say Istvan Kozma. Average player in an average Dunfermline side, no fucking clue how he wound up at Liverpool.
― ailsa, Tuesday, 22 January 2013 14:30 (twelve years ago)
Did he even get a game for them?
In December 1989 he was signed by Jim Leishman for Scottish team Dunfermline Athletic for £550,000 which is still the clubs record transfer fee.
20 odd years later they can't pay Scottish First Division wages.

Danny Wilson's just gone to Hearts for another loan. I saw his lfc league debut at West Ham - I arrived late, spent the first half wondering why Agger was screwing everything up, constantly out of position, etc. Only when the defence came down our end for the second half did I realise it was the new guy. He's played once since (sub)
― Ismael Klata, Tuesday, 22 January 2013 14:46 (twelve years ago)
He started his Hearts career with a 4-1 doing at Celtic Park.
― Stop Gerrying Me! (onimo), Tuesday, 22 January 2013 14:59 (twelve years ago)
paletta was fucking awful too. tho he seems to have resurfaced at parma.
― Hutton dressed as Lahm (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 22 January 2013 15:09 (twelve years ago)
gerrard diddling berbatov with some neat minimal space work then hitting a beautifully weighted rather than driven crossfield pass was an interesting reversal of types
