Why are they wild lol he's one of the most under appreciated elite midfielders the prem has had.The David Silva shouts are absolutely wild
De Bruyne gets dropped for big games? Why even make something like that up ffs
Interesting to see Scholes, Lampard and Gerrard all being put up there ahead of De Bruyne, even seen Beckham mentioned. That’s 4 guys who played in the same England side who couldn’t even get further than a quarter final.
Yep he can play anywhere and play that role brilliantlyI'm not being sentimental but Gerrard is and was best of a generation.
Some have came close but no ones overtaken him.
Never been needed, or simply not good enough to play that role even if they needed a body there?Those wee niggles have generally kept him out a couple of months at a time so I imagine he's had a major psychological battle with his own body to be fit enough to perform at the level he has. So I'd argue he has incredible mental fortitude to keep coming back from his injuries to be a major player for us.
Defensively he's never been needed so kind of a redundant point.
KDB’s shots are nowhere near what Gerrard can do either and that’s just one part of their game that does not compareYou put prime Gerrard in the current Man City team and he'd boss it, put De Bruyne in the old Liverpool team then I'd doubt the impact would be as great. Gerrard played with a lot of mince.
I don’t even see how Gerrard’s style fits in that Man City side, he wasn’t a Guardiola style player at all. Some real revisionism going on for Stevie G. For as good as he was quick one touch passing wasn’t exactly Gerrard’s thing.You put prime Gerrard in the current Man City team and he'd boss it, put De Bruyne in the old Liverpool team then I'd doubt the impact would be as great.

No seen anyone score with so many long shots since he retired, his YouTube reels are just him scoring rockets one after another mostlyI'm not being sentimental but Gerrard is and was best of a generation.

Gerrard would be able to adapt to any system no problem , you forget he was a very smart player tooI don’t even see how Gerrard’s style fits in that Man City side, he wasn’t a Guardiola style player at all. Some real revisionism going on for Stevie G.
Some great points but good as Gerrard was he had flaws and I think KDB is maybe better. HOWEVER if SG had been asked to play in the current Pep team with quick one touch passing he could have done it. Gundogan managed to fit in as did Fernandinho, albeit he was a few yearsI don’t even see how Gerrard’s style fits in that Man City side, he wasn’t a Guardiola style player at all.

Roy Keane in season 99 form I'd take over Lampard, Gerrard and Scholes. Keane was so much more influential than Scholes.
You need be more than smart to be able to play that style of football though. I’ve never seen SG play that sort of football.Gerrard would be able to adapt to any system no problem , you forget he was a very smart player too
You don’t play. the amount of positrons he could without a high level football brain
It won't go down well on here but Keane 98-00 and in his pomp is easily the best midfielder the EPL has seen.
He had the lot.
Why would you try and shoehorn one of the best attacking midfielders of his generation in a defensive role? Makes no sense.Never been needed, or simply not good enough to play that role even if they needed a body there?
Gerrard played as a six, an eight, a ten, a winger and a striker all pretty well.
I love KDB but Gerrard’s the better all round midfielder for me.
You should probably take a look at a KDB goal compilation on YouTube or something then see if you still say he doesn't score many rockets. The vast majority of his goals for us have been screamers and he has recently passed the 100 mark with us.Yep he can play anywhere and play that role brilliantly
Gerrard has won as many CLs as KDB has and he was playing for an average team give or take an Alonso at the time
KDB certainly does not score as many rockets or even just goals for that matter, and look at the players he’s surrounded with
Just not sure I'd describe him as a midfielder. More advanced in his positioning surely?Voted other. Eden Hazard.
Was there ever a game where Vieria got the best of Keane?
Keane dominating Zidane and Davids in Turin showed how good he was.
Imagine prime Silva up against a prime Roy Keane.Why are they wild lol he's one of the most under appreciated elite midfielders the prem has had.
The first couple after he came back from his cruciate injury at the start of the 98/99 season but once Keane got up to speed then he had Vieira's number.
KdB is on a par with Zidane.
Only a rung doon from Messi.
Gerrard had some real high profile howlers too. In his defence I can’t think of KDB having many if any. Gerrard didn’t literally carry Liverpool on his own either. The season they came closest to winning the league while he was there Suarez carried them. One of the premier leagues greatest midfielders, but some serious hyperbole now.Gerrard is best hands down, could any of the others did what Gerrard done, literally win games himself, I don’t think so!!
De bruyne is outstanding obviously but Gerrard literally carried Liverpool himself
I think they were all at it.The only player I remember properly handing Keane his arse was Redondo in the 2000 game.
Do wonder if he is one of the players he has in mind when talking about juicing.
Imagine prime Silva up against a prime Roy Keane.
He’d be off in tears after an hour!
Not even close.KdB is on a par with Zidane.
Only a rung doon from Messi.
its good at times but for me its like watching 11 robots on the pitch. Fantastically coached and obviously brilliant players but just find it dull a lot of the time. I would far rather watch a Fergie Utd team than a pep Man City team
Debate on Sky after the game last night and Redknapp says he is now clearly ahead of Scholes, Gerrard , Lampard, Vieira, Toure etc
Is he the best for you?
