Re: Luis Suarez (The Spanish One) Pirlo Superior to Xavi
Ahhhh good old generalissimo riding Xavi again. I suppose the opinion of a man that played the regista counts for nothing next to your 'unbiased and professional' opinion.
We saw them both play, and we saw Xavi see what it means to be a metranome. I will say this, Xavi is the epitome of anti football players. no wonder messi has scored 70+ goasl, when no one in yopur team wants to pass forward, Dieguito's heir is forced to do it all.

personally i would also throw wesley sneijder in the discussion.
thanks for mentioning my favorite player who's still relevant....Netherland never did him justice...he arguably was the biggest factor in the treble/Oranje's WC final.....and look who won again...messi. Should've been iniesta/sneijder under the old system. Shame on them. Dont think he was even short listed

Wow many of you are underrating Gerrard big time. Of course he's not anywhere near Pirlo and Xavi at the moment but in his prime he was definitely one of the best if not the best midfielder. And in my opinion he's the most complete midfielder of all time with Lothar Matthaus.
@ OP, and yes I agree Pirlo is better than Xavi and the best in the world at the moment.

It's says in my opinion right before that red part and I would like you to name me a more complete midfielder than Gerrard other than Lothar Matthaus. And keep in mind, a more complete midfielder, not a better midfielder (because I know there have been better midfielders than him).

Complete in what sense? You say it like Gerrard is an absolute tandem of a defensive brick wall and an attacking arsenal. Not quite. Especially not that good defensively.
That is, if that's what you mean by "complete".

Re: Luis Suarez (The Spanish One) Pirlo Superior to Xavi
Well a complete midfielder would be one with an Eagle vision, with a powerful sniper shot, a great finisher, a precise tackler, has a stamina of a bull, has stellar positioning sense, has great technique and ball control, good headerer, good set piece taker, has strength and is physical, is both defensively and offensively sound, is a leader of his team, has a heart of a champion, etc. (simply an all around BAWS, I don't know how better to describe it). What else could a more complete midfielder mean?

I would take Gerrard over both of them.. If he played on the great teams that these guys have played on then he would dominate even more

Re: Luis Suarez (The Spanish One) Pirlo Superior to Xavi
What does being more complete mean? If you want a dictating Cm who in their right mind would pick Gerrard over Xavi or Pirlo? gerrard can't dictate traffic ffs. This whole complete player BS is a way to put his name in a category he doesn't belong in.

Re: Luis Suarez (The Spanish One) Pirlo Superior to Xavi
Haha. Gerrard is not complete, Gerrard can't dictate traffic.
Some quotes here.
Yes i know he is old now and declining fast and is nowhere near the powerhouse he was before, But that does not mean you starting talking shit. He was one of the best midfielders in his peak and he will remain one, Regardless of some forum posters calling him names and asking if he can become a traffic policeman.

So being more complete means your better than someone now does it?
Cabaye >>>> Xavi then.
In any case Lampard is more complete than Gerrard ever was.

GOAT for the truth.
What does being more 'complete' have anything to do with being a dictating CM, which both Xavi and Pirlo are light years of Gerrard at. As I said before, Jack of all trades, master of non.

Re: Luis Suarez (The Spanish One) Pirlo Superior to Xavi
You idiots comparing Gerrard to Xavi and Pirlo, please tell me when dictating a game was in his job description?
One of the best, (and definitely the best in an attacking sense) box to box midfielders of a generation being compared to a couple playmakers is not even funny.
You'd never compare Essien and Viera to them and saying they can't dictate a game , but Gerrard? Oh , he's expected to do everything, even tasks not assigned to him.
This is a joke.

Its always been a joke, Gerrard has always been a shit player who does nothing and is overrated as hell in these forums.
Lampard, Pirlo, Sergio Ramos, Valdes, Gutierrez are better than him in Goalleagcy

Re: Luis Suarez (The Spanish One) Pirlo Superior to Xavi
^ Don't put Pirlo there, it just fuels the fire, there is an anthology of arguments that can be made for Pirlo being the better player.
But people talking about how he can't dictate a game.....no one cares, it wasn't his job, just like it wasn't Keane's , Viera's or Essien's. It's a joke because they're acting like if he's garbage because he didn't do something that was never expected of him in the first place, that other players in the team were specifically designated to do.

Lampard and Pirlo are better than Gerrard lol, the rest you just made up
Le Sam the reason this was brought up was because someone said Gerrard was better because he was more complete lol.
Even if it were true which it isnt how does that mean you are better than someone lol.
If it were the case then Vidal and Schweini >>>>>>>

No, the reason why I brought this up was to show that just because you are more complete does not mean that you are a better player, which was suarez arguement in saying that Pirlo>Xavi
In other words it was brought up for the opposite of what you said

Nobody's saying he's shit. He's just NOT what you Liverpool fans are trying to make him out to be. I mean, "most complete midfielder of all time"? He done f**k all to show he's "complete" even in a single match.Nishank wrote:Le Samourai wrote:

No Liverpool fans have actually said that, though.
Only 2 Liverpool fans have posted and one of them admitted that Gerrard was/is not in the same league as the others and the other was just defending Gerrard by ironically calling him shit, but he didnt either say that Gerrard is/was better than the others.
