"Highly overrated shit ****s".
Why so?
Carraghers was good for a classic oggy every year.
Despite playing for 17 years he only ever played 30 odd times for England.
When I think of English defenders of his generation Terry Rio Ferdinand Sol Campbell etc were superior players to him by a long long way
As for Stevie G
Lampard was a superior player who scored more NT goals and scored more club goals. That being said Lampard also done it for a team competing and winning trophies.
Stevie G will always be remembered as the bloke who tripped over the ball and cost his side the League
Yeah look 'overrated' should never be put on the player it's not like they are asking anyone's opinion anyway.
Regardless, I always though Gerrard came across as a selfish player who's highlight reel was spectacular but he seemed to be a very very good player in a bunch of positions yet never 'the best' at any of them.
And just on your point I thought Scholes was by far the best English midfielder of his generation by quite a margin.
I also thought Carragher came across as a bad teammate but always hid behind the old 'passionate' chestnut as an excuse to be an utter **** to blokes.
The amount of times I saw him score an oggie then tear strips of a teammate was hilarious.
Didn't poor old Arbeloa get the hell out of dodge because he couldn't deal with Carragher?
I know which one of those 2 I'd have kept.
Anyway though just watching footage of Torres today made me think how amazing some of their old players were.
Carragher Retired early from International Football but I would agree he was never good enough, he should never have been converted to a Central Defender and should have just stayed out on the flank.
As for Stevie G
You say he will only be remembered slipping over to lose the title? I would dispute that.
I'll remember him being a young Captain dragging his team from 3-0 down in Istanbul to one of the greatest comebacks in history to win the CL final. That same bloke who slip also stood up in 2006 at 3-2 down with no time left and scored a belter from 30 yards to take the FA cup final to Extra time and eventually win in penalties. That's the Steven Gerrard Liverpool will remember and we won't give 2 f**ks about what anyone else has to say about him.
Have Liverpool underachieved in the League in the last decade? No doubt they have, 2009 and 2014 we're prime examples of us bottling our best chances. But...
Thats Football, it's a game of small margins and taking your chance which in the League Liverpool have not been able to do.
It's been frustrating at times it's been exciting at times and it's been down right heartbreaking at times.
This Liverpool v spurs game is garbage.
Remember when Suarez played and he'd turn up to Spurs and be all like 'yeah let me put another few in you guys are trash'.
Is this Mane bloke the 2nd coming of El Hadj Djouf? Dead set crazy person.

Good performance.
But f*** me, our defence needs a revamp. Can tell we are playing with 2 makeshift defenders.
Lucas made the cardinal sin of making a simple error a bad error, absolute gift for Vardy. Milner had a reasonable game, didn't have to do too much, was much better going forward this time.
Sturridge did well, very smart runs and opens up so much room for Mane and Firmino. Those 3 could be so potent for us this season. We have sorely missed pace upfront. We saw what Liverpool could do when we had pace in attack and dangerous players with Suarez, Sturbridge and Sterling. Obviously, not quite a Suarez-class player but Mane and Firmino are showing glimpses of that fluidity in attack. Add in Lallana and Coutinho and we have some very exciting and capable players.
Mignolet copped a battering, and did reasonably well, despite almost refusing to be an option when Lucas got stuck.
Wijnaldum and Henderson are industrious, but uneventful. Maybe thats the balance we need. Can will probably come in for Wijnaldum when fit. That will allow Henderson/Wijnaldum to push forward and hopefully exhibit some of their creativity/passing.
One thing is for sure, it's never dull supporting this club.
Of course they are makeshift defenders. Lovren copped a knock in training, Matip has played two games in the epl and Klaven was back from injury. And Sahko needs to prove to Klopp he is worth persevering with.
A great defence when all options are fully fit and available for selection.
And expect to see Karius sooner rather than later.
finally got a stream working for the last few minutes
nerve wracking stuff but a win at Stamford Bridge is never going to be easy
watch us lose at home to Hull next week
Good win.
First half we were all over them, let them back into it in the second half. Did Matic do well or what to set up their goal, some average defending, but he did well to keep his composure and dink that to Costa.
Henderson :wub: Needs to add more of that. I'd like to see him finish a shot in the 18yd box though.
Good result, keep em coming!
Thoroughly enjoyed watching that back (didn't get to see it live before having to go to work).
One of the best first halfs I've seen from a Reds team against a top side.
This season will be very interesting :thumbsup:
if I was stupid enough to gamble I'd bet on Hull winning at Anfield
good thing I'm not stupid enough to gamble
Teams have certainly come out the blocks quickly this season - many teams getting blown off the park and the dominant team continuing to push even when the game has been won.
Saw a post that said this is the 3rd best league start in the last 25 years for Liverpool.
Uhmmm since when does the ball not need to go forward from a kickoff?
Apparently this year...
it's like the ship of Theseus this club
change the owner, manager, all the playing staff and it's still the same ****ing thing
beating quality opposition then losing to shit
same thing, every ****ing year
all possession then offering nothing in the final third. Is gve in charge?
2-1 :brrr:
90 minutes people. 90 minutes
They waked the whole game and were like cool cool lets get the 3 points and go pub.
Man good luck supporting this ****ing team.
These are the games we normally lose.
Go down early, then opposition park bus and we fail to penetrate. That's how it normally goes.
Pretty happy with 3 points.
it was my rage quit what won it for them
Quite happy I passed out after Swansea scored.
All I can remember is waking up very surprised at 2am with the big W in the pocket.
So glad that bogey game is over.
No way they lose it from here.
Congrats on another title Reds fans.
Loved how Liverpool have been training Karius to deal with crosses by padding him up in rugby pads and jostling him at training.
Should done this with Birraz!
I reckon Liverpool will come unsuck. They have the best attack granted, but they dont have the defense required to win the league. Only teams with this are Chelsea Arsenal and Tottenham
I saw a picture where Liverpool have conceded the least shots per match in the Premier League (8.1)...
Tbh, I don't think our defence is anywhere near as bad.
Against the top teams so far.
4-3 win over Arsenal.
2-1 over Chelsea
1-1 with Spurs
0-0 with Man U
I'd take those results.
Don't really have a problem winning games 4-3 or 6-1 or 6-5. A win is a win.
It looks like we are much more balanced than previously. And to be honest I don't think it's been our defence that has lost us games over the last few years. Our ineffectiveness in attack has cost us more points over the last few years than our defence imo. Defence just compounds that.
Teams could come to us and say, park the bus, Liverpool can't break us down if we defend and we will score off a set piece.
Myeh, well if you get to make your players "in form", Liverpool can do the same thing.
I'd back an in form Coutinho, sturridge, firmino, mane, Henderson and lallana to take your defence on.
Can only play the team the opposition put out.
Long way to go yet. Still anybodies premiership.
