Who was UEFA club footballer of the year in 2005?

You think Gerrard finished 3rd in Balon Dor that season for finishing 5th in the league?

Are you sure you watched football that year at all?

Of course he had the supporting cast that helped him reach the final and even kept him in the game till the shootouts.

Why won't he win the uefa awards when he had dudek in goal...plus he Crossed and scored the headr alone.

Why didn't your alabaru carry liverpool all through their matches... Or your alabaru was injured

which team mates kept Gerrard in the game?

So 3-0 deficit at half time is called keeping in the game these days?

Gerrard scored 1, was involved in number 2, and won the penalty for number 3...which Alonso even missed.

Team mates ko, classmates ni

I can bet anything you don't watch the match. Unless hanging around complete sports vendors stand the next morning counts as 'watching'

That was all Gerrard

Gerrard was in the final in 2007, No? Since it was all Gerrard in 2005, what stopped it from being all Gerrard with an even better team in 2007?

Gerrard carried Liverpool on his back to absolutely nothing but one champions league title and a few league cups(hope I am not even exaggerating this) cause I can only think of one league cup they won, For more than 13 years, Liverpool had average teams for more than 13 years, Yes?

raumdeuter:


Jerzy Dudek, Steve Finan, Djimi Traore, Caragher, Hyppia, Biscan, Tudor, Kewell Baros, Crouch, Pennant, Kuyt, Zenden, Bellany, Momo Sissoko,

Be honest, read this list and tell me any player that can be called average here, Most of them will be below average given their career trajectory outside Liverpool

Those players beat the all dominating Chelsea twice, beat Milan, Beat Capellos Juventus, Beat Ronaldinhos Barcelona at Nou Camp

That credit goes to the leadership of Benitez and Gerrard

Most of these players are the caliber that will play for Bolton Wanderers or West Ham not a team that made 2 CL finals in 3 yrs

on the night...that dudek beasted the final except you want to deny that.

Ask Brendan Rodgers

Come and add your own. Make we get your views

Was Steven Gerrard better than Waheed Akande, Stanley Okoro, and Festus Nwaguma?

He was better than all those guys but he was not better than Toyin Ayinla, Kwesi Bonsu, John Ene Okon, and Louis Igwilo.

Gerrard saved Liverpool on at least 3 occasions that year.

1) Without his goals they don't qualify for the champions league proper.

2) Without his end of game golazo against Olympiacos at Anfield they don't qualify from their group.

3) Without his goal and warrior mentality they don't come back to win that final.


Although Nihilist has been wrong about many things lately, he is right on the money in this one.

I am not even saying these guys aren't average, I am saying not all of them were at the time, This is quite similar to Liverpool of last season, can we call Liverpool of last season average too? Considering the names that played in the final

That is not even the point, He is using this as a reason why Steve is better than Scholes

I don't know about that one, but that 04/05 Liverpool team had some truly fecal players. Gerrard was very, very key to that team.

Now whether it makes him better than Lampard, Scholes, Xavi, Xabi Alonso, Lothar Matthaus, Ruud Gullit, Andrea Pirlo e.t.c who did not have to carry teams so much for that long is a different debate entirely.

don't mind Dopejemi.

nobody said Gerrard is better than Scholes because Scholes had better teammates.

These guys are just trying to argue that liverpool in Gerrards prime were a great team, which most pundits know to be false.

You don forget how the debate take start? This whole thing is to prove how and why Gerrard is better than Scholes

Pkasso,

Please save precious time. This is the interception you were talking about.

Alves intercepted every 55 minutes in the UCL last season.

Kimmich intercepted every 81 minutes.

Alves also did better in Tackles, Aerial won.

Look at their ratings sef in same competition.

That Liverpool team was a team in all sense of the word, they had some very good individual players like Gerrard, Alonso, Hamaan, Garcia, Smicer, Riise, Hypia who provided leadership at the back and maybe Carra.

Gerrard had the perfect platform that ensured he played his game, I am not certain Gerrard will be as potent or influential if he joined Man Utd or Chelsea, he'd have won more trophies but he'd have been outshoned by other players.

nihilistjnr:


did you people not sign Lee Grant this season?

was lee grant playing in liverpool. was enyama not backup at those his funny clubs?

nihilistjnr:


Hyppia was on his last legs in 04/05. He was the equivalent of Rio Ferdinand in 2013.

Crouch?

Riise?

I can't even make up my mind if Carragher was ever a good defender

you right, he his just long for nothing
hypia and srktel covered his white ass

odizeey:

So Jerzey Dudek who played 2 league games in 4 seasons for Madrid, was different to lee grant how?

Are you sure you've not been drinking?
