No matter what new generation trolls says, he was hell of a player. There were nothing he couldn't do, technique, set pieces, tackles, scoring crucial goals, he was complete midfielder with a heart of a lion. Thanks for the video!!
@@johnmitchell2269 He's won it north of the border. Hiw you can make a sweeeping stupid statement like "he will never do it as a manager either..." is quite simply embarrassing. Nobody knows whether he will or not ..least of all you.
Millwall fan here (for what it's worth) nothing but love for Gerrard as a footballer, Chelsea came sniffing with big dough and he made a decision that no working class man can deny, world class man and footballer, up there with gazza for me
Gerard was the best midfielder I had ever seen. He should have won the Ballon d Or. He carried Liverpool on his legs, in his heart and a great strategist.
Zidane, the joint-best midfielder in history (joint with Maradona), once said, "Is he the best in the world? He might not get the attention of Messi and Ronaldo but yes, I think he just might be. He has great passing ability, can tackle and scores goals, but most importantly he gives the players around him confidence and belief. You can't learn that - players like him are just born with that presence."
It only takes the first 2 minutes to see things you pretty much never saw in the likes of Iniesta, Xavi, Pirlo, Lampard, Kross, Ballack, Deco, and many others. But then the rest of the video shows why Gerrard was better at the things those players were supposed to be great at... I mean, he could be as defensive as the best Kanté, Makelele, Keane, and Vieira or as offensive as the best Kaká, Zidane, Seedorf, Del Piero, and so on... All in one player! With another huge plus: he never hid waiting for others to save him, he took the responsibility to save his team over and over, unlike players such as Pogba or Ozil. Gerrard was definitely the best/most complete midfielder I've ever seen.
From the video can you say he isn't close or near there trademark iniesta has technically one the best drilling types but in passing he's not lacking. And in defense he's pretty good. Iniesta has busquets who if I have to chose a player in last 15 years from him and I Iniesta everybody else would come after them. Gerrard has no name power but ability on ball he the same I don't know how consistent though.
Amazing pass Amazing long shot Amazing vision Amazing leadership Amazing attitude Amazing stamina Amazing crosses Strong fisically Good at defending Good skills Good FK All this in one player, Steven Gerrard, my favourite central midfield
The Most Complete Midfielder of my Generation definitely. He was definitely something special. He played the game with the heart on his sleeves. The only thing missing from his CV was the Premier League title which he would have won with Mourinho at Chelsea or going to Real Madrid and winning the league title that time. But he stuck to his roots and never forgot the values he was brought up with. Respect man.Respect. I probably think that he single-handedly with the fans kept Liverpool Club going when Liverpool was not winning anything after the year 2006. He kept them relevant in the Era when Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea were winning everything. Every year Liverpool was in a discussion somewhere even though they were not favorites. He and Suarez gave us hope with Brendan later, but to no luck that not the season. Then came Klopp came which made us what we are today. I really hope he comes one day to Liverpool and wins them a title. But if he does not, that won't take away anything from what a hell of a player he was.
He retired too soon imo because Rodgers forced him out of the team. He was one of the best players in 2014 and then suddenly he got dropped from the team. My idea is he was too big for Rodgers to handle. He should and could have gone to Barca or Real Madrid but he didn’t feel like playing for a club in europe other than Liverpool. Heart breaking tbh I think his legs gave way because he carried Liverpool so much. Anyone can go to Chelsea and Madrid and win easy trophies but Gerrard chose the hard challenge and stood up to it. There is only one goat in Midfield Zidane, Kaka, Pirlo, Henry etc all mention his name. Steven the goat Gerrard
Cant believe in how Stevie is underrated nowadays, and sometimes disrespected with the slip bullshit. He was a hero and a gifted player, one of the best ever. He deserved much more recognition. Pure pure class, passion and heart
@@Dz73zxxx that, and probably 'cuz they didn't see much of him. hands down the best player i have ever seen. yes, messi does things that should not be possible but messi is nowhere to be found when the team is suffering - can't blame the guy, he is no defender -, however stevie did it all...save goalkeeping, he did it all.
The simple truth is that Gerrard was the best midfielder of his generation in terms of overall ability and versatility. Players like Lampard, Scholes, Xavi, Pirlo and Alonso could do some of the things Gerrard did, but not all of them. None of them were much good defensively or could play different positions well. Gerrard was a master of almost all trades. He played as a attacking midfielder, defensive midfielder, striker, second striker, winger and even fullback. The best there ever was.
Ruud gullit of his generation.. Similar as gullit, gullit was world class player ever that ever grace the football scene..second one i can say lotthar matthaus.. If u put him as striker he will be the best striker ever.. If u put him at the middle of the park u got the best midfielder ever and if u put him on defense.. He was absolutely among the best.. Stevie was in the same mould as him.. At his peak, no one was on the same level as him.. Stevie got everything u can ask from a complete footballer.. The perfect midfielder ever.. Some midfielder from his era maybe got excellence technique but lacked on other traits.. For example kaka has the best pace for midfielder ever and the most perfect cam or number 10..dude got perfect technique, scoring wise and pace to burn.. But lacking on other department for example leadership, defensive traits, can't play multiple position.. Xavi got everything u can asked for midfielder that suits tiki taka system.. Technical ability, close control, reading the game and pass master for short passing system.. But lacking on stamina, defensive skill, pace, his long ball not that great but his through ball or lob ball was excellent.. Furthermore shit shooting ability and bad freekick takers ever among from that generation..on top of that lacking in leadership department. He's quite ok compared to other that wear those jersey in 2000s. Pirlo. Oh boy what he can do with ball is unrivaled.. The only guy who was on similar level with him as pass master either short and long ball was xabi alonso.. Maybe the greatest trequartista ever that ever grace italian national teams and one the best world ever saw.. Man was absolutely prowess with passing, technical abilites, amazing freekick takers also penalty takers. And in his prime he was, maybe the amazing piece of legendary milan. Squad of 2000s. But still lacking on stamina, fitness, cannot play multiple position, lacking instamina and physical against physical battles.. Iniesta.. Dude maybe the classiest spanish stalwart ever. That wear la roja jersey.. For guy his size. He was absolutely brilliant to see.. Got the best technique ever to play as advanced role for tiki taka. What zidane for france that same thing can said about him. Dude was classy and magical player to watch.. Amazing insight as advanced playmaker, great with and off the ball, a pass master, amazing to see how he open and created a space with his pass or running without ball. Absolutely beautiful..as good as iniesta was, with his small frame we know how limited and bad he was if got engaged with opponent that prefer physical battle, lacking stamina, pace and lack goalscoring records as advanced midfielder for barca compared to his compatriot david silva, kaka, stevie g and lampard from his generation..we know his playstyle also limited to one system that make use of his ability to maximal. Also dude can't play more than 2 roles because of his small frame. Here ma boy stevie g, most perfect and completed midfielder of 21st century.. Pros he have the body stature to engaged on long physical battle, pace to beat his marker maybe not as fast as kaka. But we know he can burn any player too, a pass master maybe not as beautiful as pirlo and xabi but he got the ability to ping 40s yard. Famous with his hollywood pass. Maybe not as elegance as barca pairs interm of control and dribbling. But dude got his swagger too and the most combative midfielder world ever saw. From final thirds to defense he won tackle and scoring bangers only. Great leadership to inspired magical moments. Knack to scoring long shot banger. His records said that. Prowess penalty taker and freekick takers ever.. His ability to play multiple diffrent position, dude was genius with understanding and ability to read and perfect his roles.. Not many players got brains to play diffent position, its quite hard.. The most was 2 or 3 position.
He had everything and could do everything. And people don't even talk about his pace. He was electric when he ran. What a superhero of a player. Simply the best!
@@thierryhenry674 lmao not good at everything. Its like saying he was bad goalscorer. Or bad leader.. Maybe some edges him different traits but stevie definitely got something that make him stand out and make people remember fondly of him. For example leadeship to inspire. Tell me which midfielder from his generation that great leader. No one mate.. Last times i can remember a great midfielder with armband were ballack and zidane before him.. Effenberg and sammer too.. His goalscoring ability too only edges by lampard.. Some player built and play suitable for one system. For example pirlo with his trequartista role.. Or xavi and iniesta bcos the lacked of physical stature in term of stamina, pace for example.. They will failed if moving and playing different league and teams
Gerrard had De Bruyne like passing and dribbling, Kaka like pace, Vieira like tackling and...well Gerrard like shooting. The most complete midfielder ever for me.
one player who plays and has abilities that are close to gerrard or even many who think it's similar to his abilities like gerrard i think lampard,maybe everyone has different thoughts and judgments but I admit that lampard is almost like gerrard
I'm a Man U fan. Can anyone name a midfielder from any generation whom can tackle, pass, dribble, score from nothing better than Gerrard. He was the the complete top trump card.
I'm a Liverpool fan. Scholesy comes pretty close. Only difference was, Scholesy was a mere cog of the machine. SG had to be the brawn and brain, he had to carry the team.
He's got heart like a Lion. Stevie G is my all time greatest. As far as I know not a single Liverpool fan at home or worldwide had the guts to Booo or blame Gerrard for the Chelsea game mistake in 2013/14 season which cost Liverpool the Premier League trophy. Everyone associated with the club was sad for him as if it was our mistake, wanna share the pain & it doesn't take away a bit of credit from his legacy. That's how much he's respected & loved.
No fans needed to have the guts because no true Liverpool fan would ever think of insulting a player of Gerrard's status. No player before or since (although Henderson makes us proud) has bled for Liverpool FC like Gerrard.
rman He was quite small but his dad was quite tall and Liverpool knew he would shoot up (become tall). He was direct and used to run past players and would score over 50 goals a season... from midfield. He used to always shake hands with the referees and the opponent’s coaches.
@@crazychameleon123 No, he was on another level to everyone. We had some good battles playing against each other too but his ability and mental strength was clear even then.
Some midfielders are too good at passing the ball, some are too good at crossing, some are too good at dribbling, some are too good at scoring free kicks, some are too good at defending. BUT, you will never name a single player in history of football that can do all these stuffs, well except STEVEN GERARD. He’s got the whole pack of these qualities. Don’t try judge him with trophies. We’re talking about individual talent here. He is not only the best midfielder of his generation. But also the best midfielder of all time. Period!
To say he is the best midfielder of all time is a bit too much. Yes he absolutely beast of a player, but not the best of all time. He was a complete midfielder but...... Zidane and Xavi takes the best midfielder of all time award. And if MARADONA decides to play in midfield then he will go home with the title.
I can actually name one or two in the likes of Zinedine Zidane and Paul Scholes. Ok Gerard was better at scoring than Scholes but they all were complete in their own way. Steven and Paul were the face of hard work but Zidane displayed class everytime he touched the ball so I dare to say the best middlefielder ever was Zidenide Zidane
On of the football legends, next to Raul, Zidane, Del Piero, Pirlo, Rooney, etc. What a surgical precision of passing ... Genius of football. Unfortunately this time of football won't never come back...
What a perfect compilation. So blessed to witness this man's entire career. Greatest footballer iv ever seen. What couldn't he do? He could pass & shoot from anywhere, fast, headers, tackles, dribbles, skillfull, take free kicks, corners, penalties, great left foot, play almost any position, track back, a leader, loyal, a LEGEND... There just won't be another one like him.
He was an outstanding athlete and made amazing tackles and interceptions. He could dictate play with his passing. He completed many successful dribbles. He had incredible vision and made tons of assists. He scored great goals from range and up close with incredible power and precision. He helped keep Liverpool competitive during an era where the club was almost bankrupted by the leveraged buyout of Hicks and Gillette. He was one of the greatest midfielders of all time.
Hendo is magnificent and he has a POTY award to prove it, Thiago's talent is undisputed, Gene, Naby, Ox, Milner even Lallana served well. But can you imagine prime G in today's Liverpool? I am having goosebumps just thinking about it.
Rivals fans still sing his name because he is MASSIVE. He is massive in tackling, passing, dribbling, shooting, goals, and most importantly he had a heart of a lion. He carried Liverpool on his shoulder and won the Champions League!
The best midfielder forever. There are many great midfielders, and I don't want to compare great players against each other, but versatility of Gerrard was on a different level. The absolute top player.
The passing is what amazed me the most everything was pinpoint, couldn't asked for it better even in his own half unreal, this man single handedly carried liverpool through one of their worst periods in their history, name another player who is able to do what he did.
I admire players like Gerrard, Totti, De Rossi, who had the balls and loyalty to stay with a team, even though the offers probably poured in from so many different places. They bled their team colors, and that is mighty admirable.
Gerrard was insane by today's standards... Wow I never really knew just how good he was! I miss him bad now and im not even a Liverpool fan lol these years have passed and I doubt we will see anything like this again from and English player
He was so goooood at his prime that when i was young, kids become KOP because of his performance 👍👍And i think KDB is only player who has similarities in Gerrard's style & quality for now
yes, KDB's dribbling, vision, passing, shooting etc. is similar to Gerrard's, but the defensive side of his game is no where close. Neither does he have the leadership qualities of Gerrard, carrying an entire team's weight on his back.
Stevie is my best midfielder to pair with any forward of any generation in football history. He literally made strikers look better than who they were meant to be. And his leadership and captaincy is for me unmatched if you think of what he had to work with compared to others!
Imagined Gerrard is your team captain. This man is boosting motivation, pride, fighting spirit for the team. This man and Torres is the reason im supporting Liverpool in 2009 until now 24yo in 2022. I'm lucky to get a chance to watch him play.
That’s actually why he scored at the very last minute of THAT FA cup final against West Ham. He said his legs were gone after 90+ minutes of football and couldn’t be arsed to carry the ball forward from 30 meters away so he just shot it.
Thanks for the video mate. If you ever decide to take it down, please let me have an offline copy. I've bookmarked this to watch it everyday. How no one ever made this video for Gerrard, I will never know. Could have added another section for pace. And maybe multiple positions played and excelled in. Simply the greatest midfielder ever.
In the next 2-3 years. We'll start to have a clear vision of this generations superstars Haaland, Mbappe, Foden, Mason Mount, Pedri, Sancho, Havertz, Greenwood, Rice, Tchouameni
I am an Everton fan and do you know what to do be honest he’s one of my personal favourite and will always be remembered for his quality,sportsmanship and flexibility in his positions
Iniesta, Xavi, Fabregas, xabi alonso, viera, pirlo, lampard, scholes etc were all great of the 2000s and were all the best in their own techniques and skills, but one who was competing with all of them for every technique and skill and was always in the top3 and one of the best if not the best was Steven Gerard....tat lad was on a different level, cud do passing like xavi and fabragas, dribble not like iniesta but close to it, long balls like alonso and scholesy, score bangers like lampard, take set pieces like pirlo and defend like viera, he had it allll.
Gerrard had it all, speed, stamina, strength, dribbling, shooting, headers, passes. The best way to describe his abilities would be imagining his fifa card with all attributes being 80+ from top to bottom. Despite being a good player he was the most clumsy player I have ever seen.
One of the greatest midfielders to ever grace the game. Reminds me of Mathaüs and gullit of last generations. Could do anything and everything. Centre forward, full back, sitting midfielder, a 10. Stick him centre half he’ll put a shift in. By far the best midfielder of the generation. Of all time as well
when i was 6, my Pa introduced me to football. 3 things from him is: England, Liverpool FC, and Steven Gerrard. He even had alphabet stickers spelled "Gerrard' on the back of his bike helmet. At the age of 7-14 when i was active in football, i always idolize Gerrard, especially because his shootings and passings, although i was played as RB or CB. I always had my own "goal" to having accurate long passes and tackles. Thanks to Gerrard, i had been known Liverpool. And from Liverpool, i always believe in magic and everything is possible as long i know how to move forward. Now, it's all memories. Good memories. Thanks, Pa. Best gift ever. YNWA.
I'm not even gonna watch the vid as there's no need. I saw all of Stevie G's career and he's the best cm I've ever seen period. Others may have scored more others may have assisted more but none of them excelled in every department of their game like he did and that is what is demanded of that position on the pitch. You have to be complete offensively and defensively and no one past or present has been as complete in both areas of those demands with the ability to do all of it at a high standard. Luckily for me he did this at the club I've supported since the first 5 years of my life but I'm not playing favourites here. Yes Zidane Scholes Lampard all great as many others were but looking at that position and what is required in a team from it Steven is the best there has been and it was an absolute privilege to have him do it for our club made even better with him being a local lad. Maybe someone will come along in the future and be even better in that position but if so I'll probably be long gone by then. Thank you Stevie YNWA
With that statement im going to assume you have not watched much football...great player of his type dynamic box to box...but most complete..not a chance
@@garymanders1273of course he was the most complete player.. show me anyone better .. you obviously haven’t watched much football.. I have from about 1968 to now.. no one is more of a complete player than Gerrard, no one that includes all the greats. Yes some were great at some things but not all things.. Gerrard was the complete player.
The best in his position we will ever see love him to bits a legend a leader of men Shown with his managing skills he will be the next Liverpoolfc manger next cant wait😍
A great captain A great leader A great tackler A great passer A great striker A great headerer A great penalty taker A great freekick taker A great corner taker A great engine A great big game player Hands down best I ever saw
no matter what ppl call him, like the slippy G or whatsoever, yet he is the beast in CM, controlling the area, technique on ball, vision, and fghting spirit, oh and also a leadership....kids nowadays doesnt know him, they jist know abt the slip🙄
What a footballer, what a competitor, what a captain, what an inspiration, what a creator, what a sharpshooter, what a defender, what a legend! Stevie G had everything, there has surely never been a better all round midfielder in world football. Can you imagine him in Klopp’s current team, unstoppable! In the 2013/14 Premier league season, his teammates let Stevie down by losing the league in the last few weeks. They were the best team that season, with Suarez, Sturridge, Sterling and Gerrard and others, in top form!
Loved his passing, free kicks, Long range goals, aggressive slides, penalties and everything. He played almost every midfield position in his career. He should have left Liverpool coz he was the only one carrying the club at that time. For me name is enough. STEVIE G one n only forever and always💙💙
I was at a few of these away games in this compilation and I am telling you I have never seen a more complete midfielder in my life. He is the reason I started supporting Liverpool, he really was incredible to watch and I miss him so much.
Wow I’ve been a Liverpool fan for about 25yrs and I was sad when Stevie retired ,he was the ultimate Liverpool player there was nothing he couldn’t do watching this made me realise how much he did towards getting the team where it was.I could watch him all day.
In terms of individual skill and individual quality, Steven Gerrard is England's GOAT. He had everything in his game including incredible stamina, pace, physical strength and the work rate at world class levels. The only reason why he isn't as lauded as he should be is down to his loyalty to his club, shouldering the entire club for a whole generation. Back in 2005, Gerrard could arguably be the 2nd best player in the world just behind Ronaldinho. Yes Ronaldinho was a midfielder too, but a rather forward minded midfielder. Instead we should call the center midfield the position that Gerrard excels and will be known for as the best in the business perhaps of all time. His box to box ability and all around quality makes him the main man for that position (CM). If we are talking about attacking midfielders (AM), there are several that fits well into that position like Ronaldinho, Zidane, Kaka, Zico, Platini and even Diego Maradona. That is where Gerrard would face stiffer competition.
Man that first montage of the tackling back... Jesus, he’d just hunt them down like a man possessed - his body language more like that of a rugby player chasing someone down - haha those foreigners must’ve shit their pants!
Gerrard seorang Laki2 luar biasa yang bisa menjadi contoh bagi siapapun. Etos kerja, loyalitas, motivasi, pantang menyerah, konsistensi, tanggung jawab memikul tim, kepemimpinan dan karisma.
Ive been privileged enough in my 38 years to see some extraordinary footballers. But in my genuine honest opinion. No body could compare to the way he tackeld. Passed the ball. And scored
I come from a place that didnt have a football team until around 2010. Being a part of the UK it made sense to choose a premier league team to support. Grew up watching football as a neutral from the age of 4 from 2000. Dad isn't into football so i was looking at extended family for a team. They were all Manchester united fans. Remember a cousin got a shirt, VHS of their treble season and a man utd keyring, he really wanted a mini United fan friend. At the time united were pretty league dominant as well. I considered them strongly. Especially aged 7 when They signed C.Ronaldo as mum comes from the same Village in Madiera as him and knew his parents. Southampton was also tempting because Matt Le Tiss is our local footballing hero, but he was past his best when i started watching football. All my friends at school either supported United, Arsenal or Chelsea.... Liverpool, the club wasnt doing well at the time. In my years as a young neutral watching a bit of all premier league football teams. there was no club, only one player who i was a fan of. Never saw a player with the heart and quality of Steven Gerrard. I was more a fan of his than i was Liverpool. It was 2004, aged 8 when i set on Liverpool, purely because i was fed up of saying to friends at school and at football that i didnt have a team and I was always watching the liverpool games/Match of the day highlights purely for Gerrard. Best player i have ever seen even without that sentimental bond. When i played i always tried to be like him, not in quality but in determination and fight, a will to win. Coming to terms with his leaving liverpool was honestly like a death in the family.
My late father was always a Manchester United supporter but as a football coach himself, he wouldn’t stop marvelling at Steven Gerrard who happens to be my favourite footballer of all time. (Not saying he was the best footballer ever, just my favourite)
I love this but I think you could justify breaking the categories down further to really sell the point that he could do everything. Goals could be broken down into long range screamers, short range strikers goals and free kicks. Passes could be through balls, cross-field balls, over the top passes and crosses. Defence could be broken down into recovery tackles, blocks and interceptions.
Steven Gerrard. He has all the abilities of a midfielder. Vision, Tech, Dribble, Pass, cross, Control, Finished, tackle, Marking, and header. For me The Best Central Midfielder and All-round midfielder

No matter what new generation trolls says, he was hell of a player. There were nothing he couldn't do, technique, set pieces, tackles, scoring crucial goals, he was complete midfielder with a heart of a lion. Thanks for the video!!

He should have won the Ballon d Or. He carried Liverpool on his legs, in his heart and a great strategist.

And is seen in the very video embarrassing some great players like nutmegging Zidane
Better at the things the others were meant to be great at?😂 better dribble than iniesta and better passing than Pirlo or Xavi.😂 what u smokin
From the video can you say he isn't close or near there trademark iniesta has technically one the best drilling types but in passing he's not lacking. And in defense he's pretty good.

Have to say that suarez came abit too late, Gérard already pass his prime during that time, less influence in terms of his attacking attributes
@@AbdulKalam-pd4sh that's exactly what I was going to say 👏

Furthermore shit shooting ability and bad freekick takers ever among from that generation..on top of that lacking in leadership department. He's quite ok compared to other that wear those jersey in 2000s.
Pirlo. Oh boy what he can do with ball is unrivaled.. The only guy who was on similar level with him as pass master either short and long ball was xabi alonso.. Maybe the greatest trequartista ever that ever grace italian national teams and one the best world ever saw..
Man was absolutely prowess with passing, technical abilites, amazing freekick takers also penalty takers. And in his prime he was, maybe the amazing piece of legendary milan. Squad of 2000s. But still lacking on stamina, fitness, cannot play multiple position, lacking instamina and physical against physical battles..
Iniesta.. Dude maybe the classiest spanish stalwart ever. That wear la roja jersey.. For guy his size. He was absolutely brilliant to see.. Got the best technique ever to play as advanced role for tiki taka. What zidane for france that same thing can said about him. Dude was classy and magical player to watch.. Amazing insight as advanced playmaker, great with and off the ball, a pass master, amazing to see how he open and created a space with his pass or running without ball. Absolutely beautiful..as good as iniesta was, with his small frame we know how limited and bad he was if got engaged with opponent that prefer physical battle, lacking stamina, pace and lack goalscoring records as advanced midfielder for barca compared to his compatriot david silva, kaka, stevie g and lampard from his generation..we know his playstyle also limited to one system that make use of his ability to maximal. Also dude can't play more than 2 roles because of his small frame.
Here ma boy stevie g, most perfect and completed midfielder of 21st century.. Pros he have the body stature to engaged on long physical battle, pace to beat his marker maybe not as fast as kaka. But we know he can burn any player too, a pass master maybe not as beautiful as pirlo and xabi but he got the ability to ping 40s yard. Famous with his hollywood pass. Maybe not as elegance as barca pairs interm of control and dribbling. But dude got his swagger too and the most combative midfielder world ever saw. From final thirds to defense he won tackle and scoring bangers only. Great leadership to inspired magical moments. Knack to scoring long shot banger. His records said that. Prowess penalty taker and freekick takers ever.. His ability to play multiple diffrent position, dude was genius with understanding and ability to read and perfect his roles.. Not many players got brains to play diffent position, its quite hard.. The most was 2 or 3 position.
He had everything and could do everything. And people don't even talk about his pace. He was electric when he ran. What a superhero of a player. Simply the best!
And Deep Lying Playmaker. Respect, from MU's fan.
Do bits of everything but not good at anything.
@@thierryhenry674 lmao not good at everything. Its like saying he was bad goalscorer. Or bad leader.. Maybe some edges him different traits but stevie definitely got something that make him stand out and make people remember fondly of him. For example leadeship to inspire. Tell me which midfielder from his generation that great leader. No one mate.. Last times i can remember a great midfielder with armband were ballack and zidane before him.. Effenberg and sammer too.. His goalscoring ability too only edges by lampard.. Some player built and play suitable for one system. For example pirlo with his trequartista role.. Or xavi and iniesta bcos the lacked of physical stature in term of stamina, pace for example.. They will failed if moving and playing different league and teams
That's what a fan playing for his team and his people looks like
Nailed it 👌
He would be horrible to play against just none stop ruthless for 90 minutes. Not many others could do it
Damn bro, you are absolutely right. Hence the heart he shows for EVERY game
You won’t get that at man city. Glory hunters. And don’t even whisper fodens name
I’m convinced he is the best midfielder of all time
Zidane
Gerrard was one of the best box to box central midfielders for sure.
Zidane was an attacking midfielder.
Gerrard had De Bruyne like passing and dribbling, Kaka like pace, Vieira like tackling and...well Gerrard like shooting. The most complete midfielder ever for me.
Not kaka pace but he was much faster than people give him credit for. Also better than de bruyne at dribbling.
That’s very well true
Lothar Matthaus was Similiar talent tho
one player who plays and has abilities that are close to gerrard or even many who think it's similar to his abilities like gerrard i think lampard,maybe everyone has different thoughts and judgments but I admit that lampard is almost like gerrard
Patrick Vieira was better than Gerard don’t be silly.
Scholes: "I could pass a ball"
Lampard: "I could strike a ball"
Gerrard: "I could do everything"
“…except win a premier league title”

Anyone who thinks Paul Scholes couldn't strike a ball is mad - his goal scoring record was similar to Gerrards ffs - 0.25 gpg vs 0.21 gpg.
Finally.. a video that has done this man justice
Correct
correct
I'm a Man U fan. Can anyone name a midfielder from any generation whom can tackle, pass, dribble, score from nothing better than Gerrard. He was the the complete top trump card.
No they can’t to answer your question
I'm a Liverpool fan. Scholesy comes pretty close. Only difference was, Scholesy was a mere cog of the machine. SG had to be the brawn and brain, he had to carry the team.
@@yhyh9226 Scholes never could tackle. His timing was never good.
@@prakashsurendran6285 he's got the aggression to match SG
@@prakashsurendran6285 he could defo tackle refs just were to soft. He lost it as he lost pace though
He's got heart like a Lion. Stevie G is my all time greatest.
As far as I know not a single Liverpool fan at home or worldwide had the guts to Booo or blame Gerrard for the Chelsea game mistake in 2013/14 season which cost Liverpool the Premier League trophy. Everyone associated with the club was sad for him as if it was our mistake, wanna share the pain & it doesn't take away a bit of credit from his legacy. That's how much he's respected & loved.
No fans needed to have the guts because no true Liverpool fan would ever think of insulting a player of Gerrard's status. No player before or since (although Henderson makes us proud) has bled for Liverpool FC like Gerrard.
He actually miscontrolled it, that lead to the slip. So no one can blame him
Shit happens
wasnt about having the guts ,he had so much credit in the bank , he could of took a sht on the half way line and we'd all still love him
I think it was the Crystal Palace match that cost them the title..
@@madlfcdc5890Trent?
Half way through the video he's better than any playing midfielder today, and we haven't even seen his goals😱
All long range bangers
It is true and sad
Modric and Iniesta are so clear.
@@riyadmahrez2616 common bro. in terms of ability. modric no where near gerrard. maybe in passing and dribbling only.

The most complete midfielder of his generation and arguably ever. Could do everything at a high level.
Username checks out
No! Without argument he is the best midfielder ever to grace football.
@@mamap73 that's a little bit of a stretch.
Apart from play well for England
Overrated
He’s also some manager! 🔴⚪️🔵🏆
I used to play centre-mid with him when we were 12/13 :) It's been incredible to follow his career from then.
What were his main strengths as a player back then?
rman He was quite small but his dad was quite tall and Liverpool knew he would shoot up (become tall). He was direct and used to run past players and would score over 50 goals a season... from midfield. He used to always shake hands with the referees and the opponent’s coaches.
@@EnglishforFOOTBALLFANS wow lucky you... Now you got something to share with your grandkids.
Were you better than him?
@@crazychameleon123 No, he was on another level to everyone. We had some good battles playing against each other too but his ability and mental strength was clear even then.
Some midfielders are too good at passing the ball, some are too good at crossing, some are too good at dribbling, some are too good at scoring free kicks, some are too good at defending. BUT, you will never name a single player in history of football that can do all these stuffs, well except STEVEN GERARD. He’s got the whole pack of these qualities. Don’t try judge him with trophies. We’re talking about individual talent here. He is not only the best midfielder of his generation. But also the best midfielder of all time. Period!
To top it off the thing that differentiate Gerard from other great midfielders is the aggression he brought in his game.
To say he is the best midfielder of all time is a bit too much. Yes he absolutely beast of a player, but not the best of all time. He was a complete midfielder but......
Zidane and Xavi takes the best midfielder of all time award. And if MARADONA decides to play in midfield then he will go home with the title.
Love hearing Gerrard mentioned in Maradonas company, them two in midfield is the dream couple for me, two honest men on the pitch
I can actually name one or two in the likes of Zinedine Zidane and Paul Scholes. Ok Gerard was better at scoring than Scholes but they all were complete in their own way. Steven and Paul were the face of hard work but Zidane displayed class everytime he touched the ball so I dare to say the best middlefielder ever was Zidenide Zidane
He also can slip which cause crucial foal for Chelsea
On of the football legends, next to Raul, Zidane, Del Piero, Pirlo, Rooney, etc. What a surgical precision of passing ... Genius of football. Unfortunately this time of football won't never come back...
every name you mention there Gerrard stands along side with ease
to build a team i pick steven G as my captain above any one of these great players
Gerrard’s pace is really underrated 🔥 This clip deserve more views
What a perfect compilation. So blessed to witness this man's entire career. Greatest footballer iv ever seen. What couldn't he do?
He could pass & shoot from anywhere, fast, headers, tackles, dribbles, skillfull, take free kicks, corners, penalties, great left foot, play almost any position, track back, a leader, loyal, a LEGEND... There just won't be another one like him.
Perfect midfielder, perfect player, Legend!!!!
He was an outstanding athlete and made amazing tackles and interceptions. He could dictate play with his passing. He completed many successful dribbles. He had incredible vision and made tons of assists. He scored great goals from range and up close with incredible power and precision. He helped keep Liverpool competitive during an era where the club was almost bankrupted by the leveraged buyout of Hicks and Gillette. He was one of the greatest midfielders of all time.
Hendo is magnificent and he has a POTY award to prove it, Thiago's talent is undisputed, Gene, Naby, Ox, Milner even Lallana served well. But can you imagine prime G in today's Liverpool?
I am having goosebumps just thinking about it.
These guys are nowwhere near Stevie G..n never will be..in fact they're 🗑️ compared to how good Gerrard was
Rivals fans still sing his name because he is MASSIVE.
He is massive in tackling, passing, dribbling, shooting, goals, and most importantly he had a heart of a lion. He carried Liverpool on his shoulder and won the Champions League!
The best midfielder forever. There are many great midfielders, and I don't want to compare great players against each other, but versatility of Gerrard was on a different level. The absolute top player.
Show me one other player who has a world class highlight reel for CDM, CM, CAM and CF
I’ll wait
no one
No one!!!
Ruud Gullit
@@escritoenletras he's good but after watching this Gerrard has a much better reel
There's on and only Stevie G
As much as I like lampard, Keane, Scholes, viera etc. He's the best to ever grace the league.
The passing is what amazed me the most everything was pinpoint, couldn't asked for it better even in his own half unreal, this man single handedly carried liverpool through one of their worst periods in their history, name another player who is able to do what he did.
I admire players like Gerrard, Totti, De Rossi, who had the balls and loyalty to stay with a team, even though the offers probably poured in from so many different places. They bled their team colors, and that is mighty admirable.
Gerrard was insane by today's standards... Wow I never really knew just how good he was! I miss him bad now and im not even a Liverpool fan lol these years have passed and I doubt we will see anything like this again from and English player
He was so goooood at his prime that when i was young, kids become KOP because of his performance 👍👍And i think KDB is only player who has similarities in Gerrard's style & quality for now
yes, KDB's dribbling, vision, passing, shooting etc. is similar to Gerrard's, but the defensive side of his game is no where close. Neither does he have the leadership qualities of Gerrard, carrying an entire team's weight on his back.
@@dragndorf9 KDB is not on par with gerrad in many things pace, defensive and leadership.
KDB is outstanding in what he's good at but he's limited in what he's good at. All players are. Apart from a few. Gerrard being in the few.
KDB great player but still doesn't come close.
Gerrard is easily better than KDB
Stevie is my best midfielder to pair with any forward of any generation in football history. He literally made strikers look better than who they were meant to be. And his leadership and captaincy is for me unmatched if you think of what he had to work with compared to others!
Imagined Gerrard is your team captain. This man is boosting motivation, pride, fighting spirit for the team. This man and Torres is the reason im supporting Liverpool in 2009 until now 24yo in 2022. I'm lucky to get a chance to watch him play.
Gerrard at 30m : "Am tired of running.... Shooting is more easy"
Tired? Nah you mean bored. Sick of us missing so takes the ill do it myself attitude
That’s actually why he scored at the very last minute of THAT FA cup final against West Ham. He said his legs were gone after 90+ minutes of football and couldn’t be arsed to carry the ball forward from 30 meters away so he just shot it.
@@bluedolphin9720 I know. I was being general about every other screamer he scored.
@@bluedolphin9720
I don't think he had time to think. If I recall correctly, he hit it on the volley.
Does he ever score tap ins? Lol. The ones he created himself dont count tho
Thanks for the video mate. If you ever decide to take it down, please let me have an offline copy. I've bookmarked this to watch it everyday.
How no one ever made this video for Gerrard, I will never know. Could have added another section for pace. And maybe multiple positions played and excelled in. Simply the greatest midfielder ever.
Simply a beast of a player. Thanks for all the memories. Looking forward to seeing more of his already notable managerial career.
The best all round player the world has ever seen.... man I miss watching him play for Liverpool . He had every skill all in one player.
Great video 👍

@@thierryhenry674 lool if Gerrard is not talented then I don’t know who is
I am an Everton fan and do you know what to do be honest he’s one of my personal favourite and will always be remembered for his quality,sportsmanship and flexibility in his positions
i respect you for saying that..
Couldve went to RM, Chelsea, United, Inter, AC Milan etc but he stayed at his beloved Liverpool. Got to respect that
Iniesta, Xavi, Fabregas, xabi alonso, viera, pirlo, lampard, scholes etc were all great of the 2000s and were all the best in their own techniques and skills, but one who was competing with all of them for every technique and skill and was always in the top3 and one of the best if not the best was Steven Gerard....tat lad was on a different level, cud do passing like xavi and fabragas, dribble not like iniesta but close to it, long balls like alonso and scholesy, score bangers like lampard, take set pieces like pirlo and defend like viera, he had it allll.
Steve gerrard gerrard, he'll pass the ball 40 yards, he's big and he's f*cking hard, steve gerrard gerrard
Gerrard had it all, speed, stamina, strength, dribbling, shooting, headers, passes. The best way to describe his abilities would be imagining his fifa card with all attributes being 80+ from top to bottom. Despite being a good player he was the most clumsy player I have ever seen.

Me too I'm funn of Liverpool because of Gerrard
Stevie G and his 40 yard pinpoint passes :) best player ever.
One of the greatest midfielders to ever grace the game. Reminds me of Mathaüs and gullit of last generations. Could do anything and everything. Centre forward, full back, sitting midfielder, a 10. Stick him centre half he’ll put a shift in. By far the best midfielder of the generation. Of all time as well
The best ever
when i was 6, my Pa introduced me to football. 3 things from him is: England, Liverpool FC, and Steven Gerrard. He even had alphabet stickers spelled "Gerrard' on the back of his bike helmet.
At the age of 7-14 when i was active in football, i always idolize Gerrard, especially because his shootings and passings, although i was played as RB or CB. I always had my own "goal" to having accurate long passes and tackles.
Thanks to Gerrard, i had been known Liverpool. And from Liverpool, i always believe in magic and everything is possible as long i know how to move forward.
Now, it's all memories. Good memories. Thanks, Pa. Best gift ever. YNWA.
I'm not even gonna watch the vid as there's no need. I saw all of Stevie G's career and he's the best cm I've ever seen period. Others may have scored more others may have assisted more but none of them excelled in every department of their game like he did and that is what is demanded of that position on the pitch. You have to be complete offensively and defensively and no one past or present has been as complete in both areas of those demands with the ability to do all of it at a high standard. Luckily for me he did this at the club I've supported since the first 5 years of my life but I'm not playing favourites here. Yes Zidane Scholes Lampard all great as many others were but looking at that position and what is required in a team from it Steven is the best there has been and it was an absolute privilege to have him do it for our club made even better with him being a local lad. Maybe someone will come along in the future and be even better in that position but if so I'll probably be long gone by then. Thank you Stevie YNWA
Jesus what an epic vid mate
Awesome dude
I'm Italian and I've always had an unlimited estimate for Gerrard. No doubt he was the best midfielder of his era. Great player!!!
The most complete midfield player England has ever produced. He had everything
With that statement im going to assume you have not watched much football...great player of his type dynamic box to box...but most complete..not a chance
@@garymanders1273of course he was the most complete player.. show me anyone better .. you obviously haven’t watched much football.. I have from about 1968 to now.. no one is more of a complete player than Gerrard, no one that includes all the greats. Yes some were great at some things but not all things.. Gerrard was the complete player.

He is a world class playmaker with a world class vision
What a footballer, what a competitor, what a captain, what an inspiration, what a creator, what a sharpshooter, what a defender, what a legend!
Stevie G had everything, there has surely never been a better all round midfielder in world football. Can you imagine him in Klopp’s current team, unstoppable! In the 2013/14 Premier league season, his teammates let Stevie down by losing the league in the last few weeks. They were the best team that season, with Suarez, Sturridge, Sterling and Gerrard and others, in top form!
Loved his passing, free kicks, Long range goals, aggressive slides, penalties and everything. He played almost every midfield position in his career. He should have left Liverpool coz he was the only one carrying the club at that time. For me name is enough. STEVIE G one n only forever and always💙💙
I was at a few of these away games in this compilation and I am telling you I have never seen a more complete midfielder in my life. He is the reason I started supporting Liverpool, he really was incredible to watch and I miss him so much.

when a man cry watching a video you know its a good video❤️ thx man this was epic🤩😍🥰
Wow I’ve been a Liverpool fan for about 25yrs and I was sad when Stevie retired ,he was the ultimate Liverpool player there was nothing he couldn’t do watching this made me realise how much he did towards getting the team where it was.I could watch him all day.
In terms of individual skill and individual quality, Steven Gerrard is England's GOAT. He had everything in his game including incredible stamina, pace, physical strength and the work rate at world class levels.
The only reason why he isn't as lauded as he should be is down to his loyalty to his club, shouldering the entire club for a whole generation.
Back in 2005, Gerrard could arguably be the 2nd best player in the world just behind Ronaldinho. Yes Ronaldinho was a midfielder too, but a rather forward minded midfielder.
Instead we should call the center midfield the position that Gerrard excels and will be known for as the best in the business perhaps of all time. His box to box ability and all around quality makes him the main man for that position (CM).
If we are talking about attacking midfielders (AM), there are several that fits well into that position like Ronaldinho, Zidane, Kaka, Zico, Platini and even Diego Maradona. That is where Gerrard would face stiffer competition.
When Gerrard passes the ball. Assist looks more beautiful than the goal
The guy who made this video understands what it means to play in midfield and what makes a complete midfielder it is awesome 👏
Gerrard was a once every 50 years type of player. Incredible
The best midfielder of all time
Paul Scholes once said "I have never had that engine to do what Lampard and Gerrard did on the pitch" Full Stop!
The receive and turn at 02:16
- its swivel pivot move for the ages.
Bro this guy was something else
His determination purely world class..💪
I didnt realise he was this good
Mate he was a superhero of a player. No one else comes close.
The Greatest there ever was and The Greatest there will ever be !🐐
Greatest Captain and player ever to wear a Liverpool shirt, simply loved him and always will.
Put scholes in Liverpool banter era. Liverpool will be in relegation battle.
Put gerrard in United fergie era.
They will dominate European football
Scholes was awesome, but for sure he was one of the worst tacklers in the English Premier League history.
Very good analysis, I agree
Totally agree
God i miss seeing him play so so much
Man that first montage of the tackling back... Jesus, he’d just hunt them down like a man possessed - his body language more like that of a rugby player chasing someone down - haha those foreigners must’ve shit their pants!
Gerrard seorang Laki2 luar biasa yang bisa menjadi contoh bagi siapapun. Etos kerja, loyalitas, motivasi, pantang menyerah, konsistensi, tanggung jawab memikul tim, kepemimpinan dan karisma.
2:16 that turn is actually phenomenal
This is one of the most amazing videos I've ever watched ❤😍
Ive been privileged enough in my 38 years to see some extraordinary footballers. But in my genuine honest opinion. No body could compare to the way he tackeld. Passed the ball. And scored
I come from a place that didnt have a football team until around 2010. Being a part of the UK it made sense to choose a premier league team to support.
Grew up watching football as a neutral from the age of 4 from 2000. Dad isn't into football so i was looking at extended family for a team. They were all Manchester united fans. Remember a cousin got a shirt, VHS of their treble season and a man utd keyring, he really wanted a mini United fan friend. At the time united were pretty league dominant as well. I considered them strongly. Especially aged 7 when They signed C.Ronaldo as mum comes from the same Village in Madiera as him and knew his parents. Southampton was also tempting because Matt Le Tiss is our local footballing hero, but he was past his best when i started watching football. All my friends at school either supported United, Arsenal or Chelsea.... Liverpool, the club wasnt doing well at the time.
In my years as a young neutral watching a bit of all premier league football teams. there was no club, only one player who i was a fan of. Never saw a player with the heart and quality of Steven Gerrard. I was more a fan of his than i was Liverpool. It was 2004, aged 8 when i set on Liverpool, purely because i was fed up of saying to friends at school and at football that i didnt have a team and I was always watching the liverpool games/Match of the day highlights purely for Gerrard. Best player i have ever seen even without that sentimental bond. When i played i always tried to be like him, not in quality but in determination and fight, a will to win. Coming to terms with his leaving liverpool was honestly like a death in the family.
One of liverpools greatest players in thier history up there with the absolute best of the best 👌
Man United fan and I've always rated Gerrard ahead of Scholsy and Lamps he just had that extra pedigree that gave him the slight edge over the 2
Not a Liverpool fan, but a lofelong England fan and i remember every shift Stevie put in. Unbelievable absolute hero.
My late father was always a Manchester United supporter but as a football coach himself, he wouldn’t stop marvelling at Steven Gerrard who happens to be my favourite footballer of all time.
(Not saying he was the best footballer ever, just my favourite)
Best player in the world for a couple of years, most complete player I’ve ever seen
Correct !
I love this but I think you could justify breaking the categories down further to really sell the point that he could do everything. Goals could be broken down into long range screamers, short range strikers goals and free kicks. Passes could be through balls, cross-field balls, over the top passes and crosses. Defence could be broken down into recovery tackles, blocks and interceptions.
His work ethic on the pitch is impeccable 👌 damn❤❤
Steven Gerrard. He has all the abilities of a midfielder. Vision, Tech, Dribble, Pass, cross, Control, Finished, tackle, Marking, and header. For me The Best Central Midfielder and All-round midfielder
Just an absolute BEAST.
Greatest Premier League midfielder of all time. The complete package.
Thank u soo much I've waited for a youtuber to post this video .no wonder you are one of the most successful football youtubers.love u
