Although we punched slightly above our weight last year, and our lack of squad depth wasn't as exposed as much as it could have been, I believe this could herald the beginning of a new era at Anfield.
Gerrard has got us out of so many holes over the years, but his lack of pace, and his frequent lapses in concentration have cost us dear recently.
The problem we have is that, like Giggs/Scholes/Cantona at United, we are concerned that the player is irreplaceable, so we are trying to squeeze as much out of his fading career as we can. However, rather than trying to scout for a player that can emulate him, we should be seeking a new type of player. Someone dynamic, who can call the shots from the middle of the park, but a player who is not trying to be someone else.
Gerrard, whilst not up to the standard of the aforementioned United midfielders, is still a one-off. We should thank him for his service, and utilise him in getting alongside new talent, who can launch us to the heights of years gone by.
Who do we think could fill his boots? With Suarez hopefully remaining at Liverpool, we could attract some real talent from Europe, with the added bonus of CL football for at least a season.
Steven Gerrard needs to be replaced

Why do you want burnt crumpets
I've a toaster made by KitchenAid,which is the daddy of toasters,and even that doesn't burn a crumpet on it's highest setting. You could throw a crumpet on a bommie and it's still come out white.

Crumpets are the cockroaches of the baking world.
Indestructible.
