Craig Bellamy with the best description of Gerrard the player in his autobiography: "What makes him so good? Well, there is nothing he can't do. He is clever. He sees the game quicker than anyone else. He sees the picture. He can play the ball first time round corners that aren't even there. He has got intelligence. He has got physical attributes. He can bomb past people. He is quick. He is a proper, powerful athlete. Give him a header, he will score. He can play in behind the front man. He can get the ball off the back four and control the game from the quarterback position. He is just an immense all-round footballer. I have never seen anyone put it all together like him, never seen someone with so many qualities. I have played with a lot of talented players, but he was better than any of them."
Gerrard 2003-2009 is the best and most complete number 8 ever. People are just never gonna admit it cuz of their hate for Liverpool. I’m so glad he stayed but a part of me wishes he went to Madrid or Milan who wanted him for ages so that it would be undisputed
I could never give up all those wonderful years he played for Liverpool. I only wish he’d won the league one of those years. Nothing against Henderson but I wish it was Gerard lifting that trophy in that empty stadium during the Covid year.
Kids nowadays don’t believe you when you tell them Gerrard was better than De Bryune is now. He could defend, pass and attack with ease. Best player I’ve ever seen live.
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
People praise Xabi alonso's passing at Liverpool, but Gerrard had the same quality passes plus everything else (scoring, speed, strength, pace, skills, shooting, crossing, tackles, dfending, leadrship, passion etc.) That's why he's an all-time great midfieldr and the best all-round midfieldr ever.
you can see from every goal highlights...all the team really puts in faith for Gerrard as their captain....look at those assist. Without coordinations or blatant shouts or signs, they managed to pick up the ball and score goals from it. That shows you how Gerrard is a pillar tower for Liverpool in his 17 years contribution... and man do i cry for the Torres and Suarez clip in here...both of them are Gerrard's besties in terms of liverpool offense...read his book, he seems sad and dissappointed when both of them have to leave Liverpool, leaving him behind...those eras are almost-beautiful-fairytale for Liverpool
He has 92 assists in the premier league which is 12 lesser than lampards tally in 100 less appearances whilst playing in some of liverpool's worst teams.
@@Fodzcr7 man said kuyt with his chest out 😂😂. Yeah let's just pretend Lampard didn't play for the best chelsea teams that had Joe Cole, Drogba, Hazard, Damien Duff, Anelka who was good for two seasons at the club
You could make separate highlight videos of Gerrard's defending, passing, assists, headers, dribbling, goals from inside the box, goals from outside the box, one-two combinations, partnerships with each of the strikers he played with, controlling the game from midfield, free kicks, corners etc. and each would be comparable with the greats for each specific category. And then add in the fact that he was an amazing captain and match winner who sacrificed bucket loads of trophies he could have won with other clubs to win a few for the club he loves...truly special. YNWA Stevie G! Thanks for the memories.
Yes, his short passing and skill was underrated, you can find videos of him skinning Ashley Young and there’s one goal he scored for England his close control and skill to do it was sublime. I’ll try and find the link
Without doubt the best midfielder I've ever seen. He good do absolutely everything. It hurts that he never won gjr prem, hopefully one day as a manager
STEVIE can play RB, CM, AM, CML, CMR, DM. Can Scholes or Lampard played in this position during their career? Debate is over who is the greatest Midfielder.
Gerrard and Torres were like Jordan and Pippen.One/Two combination punch that was unstoppable. Love Gerrard.He could defend,pass/create,read the game,strike and was a leader of men.A complete player.Brilliant!
OMG! Now imagine him at his peak playing in todays Liverpool with Mane, Salah, Firmino, Trent, Robbo, Virgil. If we do well with Hendo, Gini, Fabinho and Milner (not saying they are bad, but Gerrard is another level).
Kevin de bruyne did this for couple of years and is being considered as one of the best midfielder at present...and Gerrard has done this throughout his career
Most people that didn’t watch gerrard play closely think he was merely a box to box. But people/ fans that watched him play closely know he was world class about everything. His playmaking was as good as the great playmakers that always getting recognition . He was good at everything some of his qualities get overlooked.
Master class of perfection passing n goal assist set piece goal scoring monster my my boy steven gerrard. Nothing like u son, u r the living legend the most underrated player entire in the world ever played.
Still to this day I haven't seen any player come close to Stevie G. He was the complete footballer, every facet of his game was strong and he had the drive and determination to go with it. KDB sometimes reminds me of him but the difference is Gerrard didn't have teams full of superstar quality around him .. more often than not he carried us on his back and won games single handedly.
Considering the bang average players he’s played with over the years, it’s crazy how people compare him with Lampard. He’s light years ahead of Lamps as a footballer
Really easy to see Steven in Trent's play. God, I would have loved Gerrard in this current Liverpool team. Him and Trent together would be simply unstoppable.
Just imagine if gerrard played along side of brazil Ronaldo, zidane n messi it would have been sight that never seen before all records will be broken new sets of records that probably never be broken. That is what Gerrard capabilities was.

Por que odian tanto al Liverpool
Sorry,but... Lamprad is better)
@@kolyamoroz5804 Lampard isn’t better than scholes. Why would he be better than Gerrard😂

To be fair those are just kids who probably didn't born yet when prime Stevie still playing.
You can probably stick him at the goalpost and he'd be good too
i was lucky enough to watch the majority of his captaincy from the stands, him + Michael Owen were my absolute favourites until owen left
No, he wasn't lol
I remember during 2002 2006 football manager game. Getting Gerrard is no.1 priority
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
Rating Scholes above Gerrard is the biggest nonsense I've seen in football.
this must be how the generation before our's felt about Baggio
everyone knew Gerrard was better than you favorite player
Best english midfielder ever.

Right foot left foot. Whip or outside the boot he could do it all! legend
What a legend what a leader, Elcapitano Steven Gerrard. Imagine Salah plays with Gerrard, he would score hat-trick every game
Next season. Thiago and Arnold will make that happen 😂

His bond with Torres is incredible. Gerrard would never passed up the chance to play with Torres and Alonso.
People genuinely don’t rate the greatest midfielder of all time and it’s a crime like
He has 92 assists in the premier league which is 12 lesser than lampards tally in 100 less appearances whilst playing in some of liverpool's worst teams.
Enough said
Not to mention he played diffent roles in the midfield throughout his career. He could score, pass, defend, anything...
@@hercgol123 yeh bro. Really wish he played in Klopps era 😣
yeah better assist per game and actually not that far behind on goals (per game)

Steven Gerard is, as an American, what caught might attention, got my watching Premier League and why I became a Liverpool fan.
You can see Trent has incorporated Stevie G’s passing and crossing into his game.
I can see TAA move to CM. well I did that on PES
@@MrKabakuro IIRC he played there once. Looked very uncomfortable there.
Trent is good but Gerrard was 10x the player Trent is.
Trent is an upcoming Steven G.
@@guruprasadsomasundaram9273 I mean we are all aware of that but you can see snippets of Gerrard’s play in Trent’s
6:08 is exquisite, never knew gerrard has this kind of flair in his locker. Has gotten used to his thor's like swagger.
Yes, his short passing and skill was underrated, you can find videos of him skinning Ashley Young and there’s one goal he scored for England his close control and skill to do it was sublime. I’ll try and find the link

easily gets into top 5 midfielders of the 2000s
*ever
very easily
Between him and zidane
3:04 is still my most fav pass. look at the disguise, waiting for the opponent to track the run of the striker, then boom! XABI ALONSO!
Torres and Gerrard link up was mesmerising
Zidane and Gerrard best midlefielders ever
1st clip, i was lookig for that for a nostalgia. Thank you!!!
OMG!
Now imagine him at his peak playing in todays Liverpool with Mane, Salah, Firmino, Trent, Robbo, Virgil. If we do well with Hendo, Gini, Fabinho and Milner (not saying they are bad, but Gerrard is another level).
Just push trent into midfield and we've already got 60% Stevie
@@kevinsingh7936 You sir go it right... He's been playing in the midfield as of late and the result? We got ourselves a new number 8.
Kevin de bruyne did this for couple of years and is being considered as one of the best midfielder at present...and Gerrard has done this throughout his career
De bruyne's passing is more accurate and progressive ovr de bruyne is better at passing
@@markcapili4859 lol
@@markcapili4859 lol
Has done for over a couple of years and continues to do so* at this rate he'll pass him in each and every way
@@Ed-sz3wq he can't pass like gerrard get out
It's telling that so many of these assists are against Big Teams and in Big Matches. Stevie G was so damn clutch.
Most complete central midfielder I've ever seen...everything to a world class level...combined with aggression, murderous tackles, drive, leadership.
He loved an assist against Arsenal!
Complete midfielder 🔥❤️...he can pass he can assist he can score goals💪
I Miss Liverpool T shirt with Carlsberg sponsor... Like intermilan with Pirelli

Bloody hell.
Can you imagine Gerrard feeding Mohamed Salah who never stops running behind the defenders with these laser sharp passes!!!
I am extremely pleased with this video. Congratulations. You have my approval.
No comparison from me. Just super lucky to have witnessed this legend.
What a magical player. Stevie G.
Gerrad - Torres duo was devastating. i have never seen anything like it before or since.
the only cm who can do it all excellently
Capitano Stevie🌍⚽️
Considering the bang average players he’s played with over the years, it’s crazy how people compare him with Lampard. He’s light years ahead of Lamps as a footballer
8:08 what a pass
Great passer shoter and every thing
Really easy to see Steven in Trent's play. God, I would have loved Gerrard in this current Liverpool team. Him and Trent together would be simply unstoppable.
he is in my top 5 midfielders of any era
Would have obliterated the assists record in the PL if he'd played in a world class team throughout his career
Just imagine if gerrard played along side of brazil Ronaldo, zidane n messi it would have been sight that never seen before all records will be broken new sets of records that probably never be broken. That is what Gerrard capabilities was.
Imagine having an 8min compilation of just passes ⭐️
For me he could of still be playing at the top level he could of been a English Pirlo
Pirlo was desperate to play with Gerrard at Ac Milan
@@fifalegend6298 and kaka
See how many times that Stevie G helps those first debutants scored their first goal
Liverpool legends, i love them
Legend!!!!!
Maradona Messi Pelé Di Stefano Cruyff y Don Steven Gerrard.

Steven Gerrard special
That right leg did miracles
The complete player, Steven the great
That first time volley to Danny Murphy...ridiculous...
Seeing those passes makes kdb avg
Gerrards assists to Torres are another books chapter
i never knew he was that agile
Torres was benefits from SG's pass the most!
smart passing 0:47 for Arsenal
His asiss to Riise Vs Arsenal..never seen that,should Owen stay his record assist would have improved
07:18
Downing kerasukan Messi 🤣🤣💥💥💥💥

Class 💥💥💥💥
Allison - TAA - Matip - VVD - Robbo - Fab - Thiago - Gerrard - Diaz - Jota - Salah. We would win the lot!
Most complete midfielder ever
KDB is world class but Peak Gerrard is clear
And People saying KDB better then Gerrard lol..........YNWA
No where near gerrard
Fuck me I loved Torres at the time.
And xabi taught stevie how to pass
What do you mean by "Riise scored a goal that isn't a rocket shot that could break your legs in half"?
6:07 Wth is this touch
Just imagine
Thiago Fabinho Gerrard at one time
와우
Poor man's lampard
06:08 paling terkenang kata temen
Midfielders are overall better players than Strikers.
Wow

So sad that players like this are basically extinct these days
