It's been 20 years since Steven Gerrard's Liverpool debut. Aside from being the greatest midfielder to ever grace the Premier League, he was also one of the most complete players in the history of the sport.
A thread.
Phil Coutinho won multiple trophies at Barcelona and yet he's a miserable, unwanted bastard. Fernando Torres admitted it was a mistake swapping Liverpool for Chelsea despite winning the CL with the Blues.
Maybe, just maybe, there's more to football than just silverware...
Can we stop with the van Dijk robbed narrative for fucks sake? He lost out to the greatest player in the history of the sport, who happened to have one of his greatest ever individual seasons. When you're coming up against Lionel Messi, sometimes your best isn't enough.
Steven Gerrard's 13/14 season will never be remembered for the right reasons thanks to the infamous slip but 13 goals and 15 assists in 34 games is an unbelievable record for a 34 yr old, most players fade in to irrelevancy by then. The greatest midfielder to ever grace the PL.
Jose Mourinho: "The way Firmino plays to put Mané and Salah in such positions, the amount of ground Henderson and Wijnaldum cover in midfield - the puzzle is complete. I think the title is done, unless Liverpool face a dramatic injury crisis" 👀
