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.

What else could a more complete midfielder mean?
Zidane
Zidane was obviously better than Gerrard but he wasn't more complete. Gerrard for me was superior to Zidane defensively. The only player, like I already mentioned before that could arguable been more complete than Gerrard was Matthaus.

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
Ok then name me a more complete midfielder than Gerrard (other than Matthaus)

Without even calling too many names, the fact that you think Gerrard is more complete than Zidane is just laughable.Messiah "Aggerswagger" wrote:Barrettinator wrote:Nobody's saying he's shit.

This whole complete thing is BS. Why are we even talking about it? What does him being 'complete' have to do with anything? He is not and has never been on either pirlo ro xavis level. all this complete bs being spouted is just a way for messi agg to include him in thsii topic

Re: Luis Suarez (The Spanish One) Pirlo Superior to Xavi
There are games I have seen, where Gerrard was the main presence on the pitch both in attack and defense.
One second he would making a final pass or scoring at the end of the play, the next he would be in his own box making a crucial tackle.He was the ultimate vertical player, up and down the pitch with attacking and defensive skills.
Add to that everything Messiah said.
I don't know if it's because of the joke that has become "box to box" but if no one respects that , so be it.

VKean was better at driving forwad and tackling and an all round leader. Scholes was a playmaker through nd through. Depends what you wanted, if you needed a player with a mf bite, then scholes is not your man. Keane is.

The whole complete thing is BS? Okay yet it is a subject of discussion in many different football forums and even more than once in GL. How many times do I have repeat that I'm not trying to compare Stevie to Xavi and Pirlo. The only reason I even started arguing about this was because Gerrard was brought up in the second post in this thread and was downgraded by you Jibers more than any.
Obviously you don't rate Gerrard, I don't even know why I'm bothering.

But I mean, Scholes was a playmaker, surely he was just on another level altogether?
A player like Keane can never match up to the likes Pirlo and Xavi?

Again depends what you want. Bite in mf, keane, dictator, scholes. Still I suppose Scholes was more talented. I see what you are trying to do but go ahead...

Re: Luis Suarez (The Spanish One) Pirlo Superior to Xavi
While gerrard wasn't the quickest of players, best passers, best finishers, best tackling midfielder ... he pretty much could do it all but to a lesser degree of the more specialized players.
For instance, his own team mates, Alonso was a better passer, Mascherano was a better tackler, and torres was a better finisher.
Forget the finishing this is midfield we're talking about after all, Xabi alonso was imo way more complete, because he is actually a very good passer of the ball one of the best, he kept possession very well.
He was also a very strong tackler and good at set pieces it was alonso who allowed gerrard to get into the scoring positions that he did.
Xabi was highly underrated at liverpool and gerrard is a bit overrated, he is younger then pirlo and xavi similar aged to xabi alonso and getting way outshined.
If he was so complete it wouldn't be the case the truth is he relied a hell of a lot on energy and pace.

Re: Luis Suarez (The Spanish One) Pirlo Superior to Xavi
I saw this Marca cover and i thought of this thread. It's titled "The brain of Europe", and on the left of the picture you can read "Xavi beats the record of passes in the Euros: 246 passes in 2 games."
It reminded me of some using the propaganda of playing countless of passes to be relevant. Xavi has been great so far in the Euros, but still not as good as Pirlo, but he has played more passes lol. Not a knock on either player, just food for thought...

Yeah i know, Gerrard is so so so so so so shit that Lampard is light years better than him.
Its not just you, All Chelsea fans are so butthurt over the fact Gerrard is better than Lampard.. Its a known fact so no surprises here.
But seriously try quoting the right post for your reply.

Gerrard has been over-rated throughout his entire career and has been carried by a great Liverpool side and players like Sissoko, Hamman, Alonso, Mascherano, Charlie Adam, and Jay Spearing
