    Big game performances mate.

    Giggs and Scholes consistancy I have always admired but they aren't the kind of inspirational performers that Steven Gerrard can provide in the massive games.

    Roy Keane had that quality for me, as well as the likes of Cantona and Wayne Rooney. It's all about what kind of style you prefer, I think it's very hard to argue who has been better out of these players ober there careers as the quality is so high amongst them all it's just opinions.

    The point remains, Gerrard isn't the best premier league player ever "hands down". Not by a long shot

    Loved both but bergkamp was something special, almost every goal he scored was world class. But Thierry was the better finisher.

    You're probably right, it could be argued that others are better to, but we've went off topic enough.

    We should start a separate thread for the best EPL player.

    I would say it was out of Henry and Gerrard with Keane in 3rd.

    Individually Gerrard has achieved more than Giggs IMO. Scored in Champions League Final, scored in World Cups, European Championships.

    Best EPL player ever would be a fun thread.

    I ment to say best midfielder in the premier league ever. He is far more influencual than roy keane was to me. Roy keane you could have replaced with quite alot defensive mid that could have done the job, im not sayong that could have done it better, i mean man u could have got by with a decent defensive mid. Gerrard has been irreplacable for Liverpool, never seen any player carry a team as well or as much as gerrard.

    Playing 20-odd games a season does not make you one of the best midfielders in the world.

    This thread is just silly, some people are comparing people with Steven Gerrard who haven't even won any major honours! This is basically a thread where people who don't like Liverpool will just come out with the usual biased * and Liverpool fans will put him right up there with the very best.

    Apart from Xavi and Iniesta can someone find me 5 people in that list that Badger done who has won more major awards and indiviudal honours than what Gerrard has won?

    To have 30 people ahead of him is just absolutely ridiculous, 99% of the English football forums I would say would still have Gerrard in their top 10 at the very least.

    Like I say, this is coming from someone who honestly doesn't even like Liverpool very much.

    Maybe he's in the top ten on English forums because he's English.

    He's probably about 23rd in the world and that's being generous.

    Steven Gerrard is below average, let's be honest.

    Paul Scholes is the greatest MF'er the EWPL has ever seen.

    I say that as someone who hates Mankchester Ushited.

    Xavi iniesta schweinsteiger alonso pirlo. Gerrard would be in my top 10.
