top prem player since '92

"shouldn't you be out banging a sheep or some other farm animal?"
Someone diagrees with you, so you immediately resort to stereotypical insults. Nice debating skill Henry!

I'm not a Man Utd fan, I just think Gerrard is horribly overrated. From what I've heard last season they played much better when he was injured, which wouls suggest this

"without Gerrard Liverpool would arguably finish mid table at best"

is totally wrong. Xabi Alonso was better. Masherano was better. Raul Meriles is better.

no doesnt have to be best united player, henry, bergkamp, have all been brilliant premier league players no points scoring it is all based on opinion but lets have some solid truth in the matter... players that have really stood out! apologies henry RSC but gerrard has never stood out to me i forget who liverpool really are now seeing as they are beneath us hahahahahahaha

do you actually watch football? Gerrard overrated in what way?

Alonso / Mascherano / Meriles all better than Gerrard, do me a favour lay off the drugs/ booze. Think you could maybe get a gig in stand up wie patter like that

Henry, Ronaldo and Shearer are the three attacking players that stand out for me.
Gerrard alonng with Lampard and quite a few others belong in the 2nd bracket....IMHO

I can't help noticing how nobody has mentioned Giggs, when he'd usually be mentioned in the first 5 posts in threads like this. How the mighty have fallen.

Hey Henry, do you realise it's actually possible for people to have a different opinion to you?
Some people think Coldplay are good; I don't. Some people think Angelina Jolie is the most beautiful woman in the world; I don't. Some people think Gerrard is the bee's knees; I don't.
None of these views are "right" or "wrong", they are opinions. Stop being so confrontational for no reason and grow up.

It is based on opinion, and unitedalways is of the opinion it is ridiculous the suggest Gerrard as the best EPL player ever. It just so happens his opinion is correct.

you started this pash west coast, you ridiculed my opinion based on nothing to back it up, i have simply asked you to justify your comments, if you can't i suggest you leave it at that

Gerrard is the type of player that seems to be rated highly in english football - he "gets stuck in", he's gees up the crowd and he works hard, but is of limited ability (in terms of world-class midfielders) and is a selfish player who often tries a spectacular shot when a teammate is in a better position.

Players like Alonso, Xavi, Pirlo, can see and pick out passes Gerrard doesn't seem to be able to, and they do it with an extremely high regularity.
He doesn't have the ability to control the pace of the game in the same way top, top midfielders do and doesn't have the same first touch top class players do that allows them to be in control of the ball as soon as it comes near them, every time it comes near them.

"He doesn't have the ability to control the pace of the game in the same way top, top midfielders do"

And thats why IMHO Gerrard should never be classed as one of the great central midfielders

Henry, it's awfully quiet in here...
