That would just highlight how stupid some people areGerrard would have been nowhere near top of this poll pre-2018.
Maybe. But he was pretty much hated on here up until he took our job.That would just highlight how stupid some people are
Except technical ability.
There was a gurning competition on here when he slipped v Chelsea and regularly Lampard was viewed as better than him. Fast forward to 2018 and he suddenly became a world class player, and his worldwide popularity was so much that we could open a Rangers shop in Bangui and make a fortune off the back of him. Some banger on here even said he had more world wide appeal and brand than Beckham.Maybe. But he was pretty much hated on here up until he took our job.
Lampard used to run away with these polls when the forum was full of Chelsea fans!
One of the greatest sights you could see at the etihad was Yaya in full flow on a barnstorming 60 yard run through the middle, no fker was getting in his way. None of the other guys on this list could have gotten near him he was such a powerhouse. He'd spend the next 10 minutes grossly out of puff, mind!Hard to argue otherwise. At his best Toure was incredible too
Remember when Benitez moved Gerrard right mid and in behind the striker cause he had absolutely no discipline in the centre of the park and kept bombing forward leaving big gaps everywhere?
I find it quite strange how he is remembered post career. No doubt a great player on his day capable of incredible moments.
There were regularly articles written during his playing career about his ability to actually dictate matches and be at the heart of a midfield.
De Bruyne has more assists in half the games, a better goals per game ratio and is infinitely better at controlling a game of football.
Gerrard is nowhere near him overall.
Rodri controls games, Kev wins them.Rodri controls games for Man City, not kdb
