Club Captain Posts: 3,566 Group: Snr. Member Member #18,969 Joined: 1 May 2008	steven gerrard would have to be in there somewhere. he is an absolutely awesome player in some respects but a truly dreadful one in others. he appears to have no football brain whatsoever. he just charges around the pitch like a mad bull, hitting insane 60-yard passes that almost always go sailing over the touchline and into the crowd. he is the exact antithesis of someone like fabregas or scholes. fortunately for him his physical engine and fearsome shooting make up for his footballing lobotomy. he is probably the most stereotypically english player i have ever seen -- all lungs and raw power, no intelligence or vision. some aspects of his game are second to none, but you can't be considered a great player when you give the ball away as regularly and needlessly as he does. it's weird watching him play for england -- it's as if he's realised that running around like a blue arsed fly won't pass muster at that level, but he can't figure out what to replace it with. i have no idea how he's managed to get to 80-odd caps because he has contributed almost nothing to that team over the years.

No sitting on the fence now. Agree in part...though wouldn't mind him at Celtic.

You say Gerrard is over-rated then name Scholes as his opposite?

The trick is to pluck a world class player out of the air, write a few paragraphs rebuffing what is almost universal praise of said player's talent, therby proving what a football maverick and luminary you are, whose insight delves beyond the obvious in a way that only a true visionary could.

I think that just having the cheek to be English and known as a top footballer is enough to send some posters over the top.

Anyone who cant see that Steven Gerrard would walk into any midfield in any team in the world needs put in the corner with a pointy hat. He is a fantastic player. Its interesting that the original poster included Eboube. In order to be overrated dont you need to be rated in the first place? I suggest he goes on an Arsenal forum and see what they say about that clown. Edited by murphio, 24 Nov 2009, 03:33 AM.

Member Member #5,057 Joined: 28 September 2006	I don't understand how why Gerrard is being compared to Fabregas and the others anyway. There is no rules for an identikit top footballer and just because Gerrard might not mince around laying off others with deft flicks and back heels you could argue just as equally that other midfielders mentioned do not offer the same overall end product that Gerrard has consistently shown for years. If ever a player is most likely to stand up with a minute to go and drag his team to victory then its Gerrard and to do that with the frequency that he has done is phenomanal, Yes he is English, no he doesn't haven't have the flair that other players in his position do, but he what he does do he does it better than most players in the world. In fact I am now angry with myself for actually having written this out, like I actually needed to bother wasting my finger energy explaining why Gerrard is a great player. I still need a bird, get me out of stupid situations like this.
