This man wasn't just a footballing legend, he was a role model and father figure for young lads from Liverpool. Everyone wanted to be him he's an icon. If you go to Liverpool you'll see him painted on walls etc. He's inspirational man
@@ob9896 do all your role models beat up night club DJs over a song request? Celebrity worship culture is weird, he was a great player and you should love him for that if you're a Liverpool fan but putting him on some kind of pedestal is odd, he's only a human.
@@MrJoeshipley bro of course that’s not acceptable to do, but I have to say everyone make mistakes and done something wrong in their life. Honestly I’m just speaking for the young lads in Liverpool from that era because many of them looked up to him like a father. Maybe they didn’t have fathers themselves. But I know a lot of lads from Liverpool even call him ‘god’ lol. But yeah wouldn’t you agree Gerard is inspiring, his footballing career and leadership was outstanding and now he’s leading a huge club in England Aston Villa and seems to be doing great. Maybe he’ll manage Liverpool in a few years.. Me personally, I’m an arsenal fan and Gerard isn’t my role model, but I can see exactly why he’s had such a big effect on so many young lads lives in Liverpool he’s their hero
In the same way people shout "Kobe" before throwing something, people in England (where I grew up anyway) shout "Gerrard" before taking a shot ... a true legend of the game
Even as a non Liverpool fan, the respect I have for this man is unrivalled. He was without a doubt the ultimate player, he could do everything and on top of that he was a one club man, he truly loved his club and his country and it showed in his performances. When playing for England, he had to fit into a midfield which contained the likes of Scholes, Lampard and Beckham to name but a few and as none of them could perform defensively it was left to Gerrard which unfortunately meant that England never got the best of him despite some amazing performances. Had this guy been allowed to play his own game for England as he did for Liverpool then England would have stood a chance of actually winning something.
@@5timesbaby2005 England had a habit of wasting talent though the early 00's team was full of world class talent and won nothing, did not even get close, and England also managed to only give Le Tissier 8 caps, which in of itself is a crime, I cannot believe they did not once build a team around him and just give it a shot, They managed to do the same with wasting John Barnes, who played as a wing Forward for Liverpool but was played as almost a wing back for England, and people wondered why they did not get the same player for country they saw for club, in multiple instances some of the names in the late 90's/00's Owen, Beckham, Fowler, Rooney, Le Tissier, Scholes, McManaman (who they just ignored the moment he went to Real??? ) Shearer, Sherringham, Joe Cole, Lampard, Wright, Andy Cole as well as many others.....and we managed to win F*ck all, most of these guys won CL's/Uefa Cups, and if not that Leagues, with the exception of Le Tissier but he was at Southampton , but his talent was undeniable England have had a backwards way of doing International Football for a very long time. I have no doubt Spain, France or Germany could have won plenty of matches and a trophy or 2 with these players
gerrard was world class at every aspect of the game, could play any position on the pitch (apart from goalkeeper) to a world class standard, he is known to be one of the most complete players ever because he could both attack and defend amazingly well, making him the perfect midfielder
@@mcnally145 thought this was a team sport. I can say the same about Messi not winning a wc. He carried his team but they let him down. Does that mean he’s not the best?
@@mcnally145 Zidane, Maldini, Pele, Henry, Pirlo, Totti, Kaka and Alex Ferguson all said Gerrard was the best midfielder in the world at some point. Enough said.

Steven Gerrard is one of the best midfielders ever. He played for Liverpool in some of their worse times. He dragged a average team to trophy’s including the champions league and is one of the most loyal players ever!!!
You guys are gonna become big with these genuine reactions. Only saying this because there's so many football reactors out there who are only doing it clearly for the views and they don't take the time to actually learn. You two actually admit if you don't understand something and that's what earns you my respect. Don't change at all :)
@@dunsonhouse gerrard was an amazing player, and i would like to say cause i dont know if other people said it but he was very loyal to his team Liverpool. He had chances to move to better places but he stayed and became a legend for the club. I like that because so many players move because of a bigger paycheck but for him his team was like his family to play for
@@dunsonhouse yeah Gerrard was a two way player who was good in defensive but incredible in attack. It is a bit weird the video starts with tackles because Gerrard is more famous for long range power shots
that's the way british call them, box to box... it requires strenght, stamina and a good reading of when it's time to attack or to defend. Not every box to box midfielder is technically proficient but Gerrard was fundamentally sound. Not a virtuoso or a flashy kind of player, but skillful regarding the fundamentals, controlling the ball, passing and shooting. And he added the winner mentality and the passion. That's why he's a legend
@@JulioLeonFandinho I agree, but a good Box to Box, British or not should have some technical ability, really its always been a position for complete players that can do every thing, Gerrard was just an exceptional one, and exceptionally complete, what a player
What this video don't show is how much of an inspirational leader and captain he was he often dragged his team to victory against all odds when they should have had no chance at all. You should watch the miracle of Istanbul to see what I mean just an incredible player and leader of men
@@jacksmith4460 and Hendo actually doing a decent job replacing him, being a lot less decisive in games but as a leader he’s acing it. Who would have thought that when he joined lfc.
For me, what unique about this particular Steven Gerrard. He have the ability to both attacking and defending. He also, a unique captain in which HE CAN COMMAND HIS TEAM EFFECTIVELY ALSO IN ATTACKING AND DEFENDING. Which made him, one of the best captain who can change the flow of the game quickly to his favor.
Gerrard was a box to box midfielder he could help defense and attack, he would get up and down the field. winning games on his own when the team needed him to...A true legend to us Liverpool fans.
He also carried a slighty above average squad to a UCL comeback win, the most prestigious European cup. This player shouldered the armband captain of a legendary team and kept them alive and shining for so long when things didn't look so good (man utd taking over the EPL and super rich teams coming and hoarding every players..) Just wish he stayed a bit longer and be involved in the Klopp era, even though he was the youth academy coach before taking bigger roles. Gerrard is the Angel that kept the Reds reputation intact before Klopp arrived. That's why he's our Legendary Captain.
I've always thought he was the best example of an all round midfielder.. I've grown up watching and playing football since I can remember, as an arsenal fan I was always blown away by the way he captained Liverpool! He had it all for me 👌 great reaction 🔥
Just found your channel. Love that u react to this absolute legend. He's a one man team. Liverpool at that time was not at their best, the other players were not on par with the form of Gerrard. He does everything and captaining his team. Many other clubs wanted to sign Gerrard but he chose to stay. He could've pocketed many trophies and big money, but he chose love over other things. He is the best captain ever liverpool had. If Gerrard still in his prime playing with liverpool's current squad, i bet no other team could win against Liverpool
15:00 IMO the most beautiful goal he scored, the goal against West Ham in the 06 cup final was probably the hardest to score (15:52, this was the last kick of normal time, cup final and he tied the score to 3-3, and we won the cup after penalty' shootout) , but this one right here....they dont come much more beautiful than that
Liverpool Legend YNWA. Best comeback ever in 2005 Champions League final in Istanbul winning the game after being 3-0 after halftime probably will never happen again, greatest captain ever!
by far in the last 20 years, no one came close to him. he is an absolute beast of a number 8 and a great servant to his club. imaging saying no to real Madrid twice. that is who he is
Stevie G is a Liverpool legend, his passion and skill made him probably the best captain we ever had. He was the driving force behind our success's during his 17 years at the club. Even as a teenager in the late 90's his passion for the club was immense. It still makes me sad at times knowing he's not playing for us (or anyone) anymore
Steven Gerrard what can I say about this man other than he is my hero. He was extremely unique in that he could do everything at an elite level. Some players are skilful, some are combative, some are goal machines, some dictate the tempo, but Stevie G could do everything as good as anybody. He dragged us through the shit so many times and will forever be a part of Liverpool illustrious history. He was a one of a kind, all round box to box midfielder who was not only revered by Liverpool fans, but fans all around the world.
Liverpool fan for a long time here Steven Gerrard he is one of the greatest in football history, my favourite player in Liverpool, everyone like him as a great player and as a respected person.
many great passers in the centenary history of the game to just naming one. Puskas and Didí in the 50s, Luis Suárez and Gianni Rivera in the 60s, Gunter Netzer in the 70s, Bernd Schuster, Maradona and Zico in the 80s, Michael Laudrup in the 90s, Pirlo and Xavi in the early 2000s and so on
The pace of the PL is frantic in comparison to the more laid back Serie A, it is therefore not too far fetched to claim that Gerrard made all those fantastic passes under much more pressure compared to Pirlo, who had a second more to look around and make the pass, and this applies also if we compare him with Xavi.
One of the best English midfielders of all time, absolute icon to many, watching him evolve over the years and now being a great manager! I hope he gets the managers job at Liverpool when Jurgen Klopp leaves one day!
Watching this thinking how shocked they’re going to be when they see him score. Them thinking he was a dm… …Just seen a couple of goals and heard the “Old 8 ball, corner pocket”. Loving this reaction vid, I’ll give you guys a 9.5
Loved this video. Had the pleasure of watching his whole career and he was a legend before he retired. Some of the goals in this video were in massive games aswell.
One of best reactions yet, I'm bit biased stevie G is anfield legend. All my family are Liverpool fans and proud scousers and gerrard is thee Liverpool legend 👏
Yooo mooki would love Trent Alexander Arnold he is liverpools current right back and has redeveloped the typical right back position as he gets so many assists as he is an amazing passer of the ball gerrard is his idol both come from liverpool and play for their boyhood club.
Yeah, Stevie G was something in the nineties and two thousands. Incredible player. And yes, his 2.0 version seems to be Kevin de Bruyne. Lots of heart, lots of hard work, great technique, great passes and assists, beautiful goals, same look. Like they could be the mail man or something.
I balled my eyes out when he retired, yh he isn't the most perfect human, but I well up a bit watching these highlights, he was the Captain Fantastic, I watched him growing up and I'll always appreciate all he did for Liverpool. Legend of the game.
One of the most important things was his influence in the big matches. 3 of the ultimate captain's performances vs Olympiakos & AC in the UCL and vs West Ham in the FA Cup final. Legend.
this dude was the reason why I got into this sport and became a fan of liverpool. favorite player ever. you should check out trent alexander-arnold, he plays for liverpool and his passing is almost as insane as gerrards.
Midfielder usually possess creativity, hindsight, precision, both offense - defences but not always come in single package. Gerrard clearly all of those in my opinion
One of the Best English players ever, one of the best Midfielders the world has ever seen, great tackle, great passing, great shooting. A true leader of his team as captain!
plot twist, he was never a defence midfielder. he was known for his passing and and long range shots. the rest was dog work and passion. if you go to war, Stevie G is your man. absolute unit!
He is the most complete midfielder England has ever produced. Even the likes of Pele and Zidane have said at one point he was the best player on the planet.
He now is the manager of the storied Midlands team Aston Villa (based in Birmingham, England) after a good stint leading Glasgow Rangers to the Scottish Premiership title. The story continues...
Matt Le Tissier is a must see for one of the most skillful players he scored some of the best goals ever in the English prem. Nickname "Le God" nuff said.
I wouldn’t say he is the GOAT of midfielders, because there are those who can play better than him in each position and roles. And Gerrard isn’t the first midfielder capable of playing multi roles and positions on world class level. But what sets him apart, was his important goals. Gerrard played against the biggest generation talent football have ever seen, and he kept Liverpool alive against the biggest beast in all competition. Every time another world class player is paired with him, they challenged for trophies. And Gerrard’s loyalty to accept less pay than he deserved by staying loyal to a club, no matter what, makes him a set in stone legendary even to managers.
Gerrard was one of Liverpools best ever players. He was what is known as a box to box midfielder. It is extremely rare to fine someone that can be a box to box specialist. This means that even though his position was central attacking midfield (CAM) he was just as good at defending and would often cover both sides of the field, taking on attacking and defensive responsibilities and due to his pin point long passes made for some amazing counter attacks as well as long range goals. He was also made Liverpool captain at a young age and kept the captaincy until he left the club at 33
Not a football fan much these days, but back in the day Gerard was one of the only players you could physically see Drive forward and take everybody with him..an absolute leader.
The best player to ever play for Liverpool, who used to single handedly carry the team on his back, without this man in the team they wouldn't have managed to win any silverware, he was the glue that tied everything together and the player they could always rely on him to drag them out of the dirt. Absolute Legend, one of the greatest Midfielders ever.
🙌🏼🙌🏼 yano that feeling when a prayers been answered 😂 If your bro likes passing try PAUL SCHOLES, In Barcelona’s youth academy when messi was growing up he said the coaches used to use Paul scholes as an example. If he likes curl, then David beckhams the go to guy. And you’ve more or less covered scoring but I’d invite ya to react to Wayne Rooney’s goals 🤦♂️. And yeah he manages my club!! UTV!!!
@@dunsonhouse don’t make me laugh big man…but can you see why I was getting annoyed? These kids telling you to react to these dancers doing skills who need to play like 10 games to get a good clip..players like Gerrard was world class through out his career. As for gerrards bangers!? They could be a whole another video on itself. Gerrard sniper shots link ua-cam.com/video/TtYI2lxLdSQ/v-deo.html ….save that video for when you wanna see some bangers!! Video you reacting to tried to get all his game in ^^ that vid is pure and utter worldies we call them. And man can’t holla at me with smoke 😂😂
He is a box to box player , he played with a defensive midfielder next to him Lucas Leiva so it can compensate for the times he went in attack . That's the role of a defensive midfielder he stays there hovering around his area and drop down as a CB central back in need , and box to box are free to go both in attack and in defense but mostly they playmakers that can play central forwards or even wingers .
Something not many have mentioned is he is the only player to score in the English league cup final, FA cup final, uefa cup final and champions League final. He was big time in every way by every standard.
Yes you are right there is defensive midfielder,ofensive midfielder and like a central midfielder and it all depends on formation and tactics teams using.all those types of midfielders have also a role on the pitch for example: playmaker,deep lying playmaker,roaming playmaker,mezzala,box to box midfielder exc. Now Steven Gerarrd original position was central midfielder(box to box) which means he played both sides of the ball offense and defense and in certain period of time he was best midfielder in europe also known as one of the best playmakers that footbal has ever seen. Sorry for my english brothers much love from Serbia keep up that dope reactions :))
There will never be another quite like Stevie. He was the rare kind of player who could not only do everything, but made it look easy too. It's no exaggeration to say that he won games by himself. If the rest of the team was underperforming, Gerrard was the guy who would take charge and drag them to victory single handed.
Central Midfield general.. the engine room.. blend of defence/offence.. ball winner and great distribution (vision).. along with killer shooting and goal scoring ability
He was in my eyes the only midfielder along with Roy Keane who could have played in any era, in the 60s & 70s when the tackling was a lot harder than today they would have revelled in it, but Stevie pips it for me on his attacking play, he saved Liverpool on many occasions with game saving goals.
Gerrard. Master of football many clubs tried to lure him away for more money but he stayed at liverpool. Hope he becomes a great manager good luck stevie
He was a Total Footballer. He could play in Defence Right back Left Back Right Midfield Left Midfield Centre Midfield , No 10 striker. The best footballers of other countries leagues used to watch Liverpool Games just to watch him play and command the field like a Boss
Gerrard every goal for Liverpool, highly recommend it. Gerrard was arguably the best midfield player in the world, as an all round player there are only a few contenders for this title over the last 20 years but I don't think any of them could inspire the team like Gerrard. Being a Liverpool fan I am somewhat biased but any fan of any team would have taken him when he was in his prime.
King Steven, Stevie G absolute legend. Liverpool legend from a Liverpool born boy to serve all his career to his love of Liverpool no matter who or which top team wanted to buy him he was so loyal to his home town so many legends in Liverpool football club Stevie G is top of the list. Look at videos of other world class players an managers comments about him takes him to even another level 1 of a kind up there with the greatest players ever they agree if u watch the Wright videos
You should watch Trent Alexander-Arnold he's a young right back with arguably the best long pass in the world. If you want to see perfect passes you should watch him for sure
When you talk about defensive or attacking midfielders…. Forget all that when it comes to Stevie Gerrard. He’s a complete midfielder. He’s all those positions rolled in to one. You saw those tackles, passes, runs, moments of genius and he has 186 goals for Liverpool. When players like zidane say you’re one of the best midfielders of your generation need we say anything else. Mr Liverpool
The skiper he is the complete package you guessed it right! He carried Liverpool on his back for decades.....You got a like before I even watch the vid lol
I think getting a true understanding of the positions will help you both a ton to understand the game and videos you react to. It gives so much context to what their general role and responsibilities are, which is crucial context to what you are watching and how their talents are played in a real game. i.e. you shouldn't expect Gerrard to be a speedy winger with flair (Neymar), but he does break-up opposing play, connect the defense to offense, passes and generally just controls the tempo of the game
Definitely in my Top 5 Box-to-Box midfielders of all time (for the Dunson's a Box-to-Box is a midfielder that plays all the field, defends and attacks)
This man wasn't just a footballing legend, he was a role model and father figure for young lads from Liverpool. Everyone wanted to be him he's an icon. If you go to Liverpool you'll see him painted on walls etc. He's inspirational man

The pace of the PL is frantic in comparison to the more laid back Serie A, it is therefore not too far fetched to claim that Gerrard made all those fantastic passes under much more pressure compared to Pirlo, who had a second more to look around and make the pass, and this applies also if we compare him with Xavi.
Gerrard is my all time fav player of all time #Legend
One of the best English midfielders of all time, absolute icon to many, watching him evolve over the years and now being a great manager! I hope he gets the managers job at Liverpool when Jurgen Klopp leaves one day!
Watching this thinking how shocked they’re going to be when they see him score. Them thinking he was a dm…
…Just seen a couple of goals and heard the “Old 8 ball, corner pocket”.
Loving this reaction vid, I’ll give you guys a 9.5
Loved this video. Had the pleasure of watching his whole career and he was a legend before he retired.
Some of the goals in this video were in massive games aswell.
GREATEST MIDFIELDER OF ALL TIME
One of best reactions yet, I'm bit biased stevie G is anfield legend. All my family are Liverpool fans and proud scousers and gerrard is thee Liverpool legend 👏
Yooo mooki would love Trent Alexander Arnold he is liverpools current right back and has redeveloped the typical right back position as he gets so many assists as he is an amazing passer of the ball gerrard is his idol both come from liverpool and play for their boyhood club.
He's the only British player to get In the world 11 so that says it all
Captain fantastic, we love you Stevie x
Yeah, Stevie G was something in the nineties and two thousands. Incredible player. And yes, his 2.0 version seems to be Kevin de Bruyne. Lots of heart, lots of hard work, great technique, great passes and assists, beautiful goals, same look. Like they could be the mail man or something.
I balled my eyes out when he retired, yh he isn't the most perfect human, but I well up a bit watching these highlights, he was the Captain Fantastic, I watched him growing up and I'll always appreciate all he did for Liverpool. Legend of the game.
One of the most important things was his influence in the big matches. 3 of the ultimate captain's performances vs Olympiakos & AC in the UCL and vs West Ham in the FA Cup final. Legend.
stevie g was a fucking sniper, prefect passes no one ever had to break stride and his accuracy is outstanding
this dude was the reason why I got into this sport and became a fan of liverpool. favorite player ever. you should check out trent alexander-arnold, he plays for liverpool and his passing is almost as insane as gerrards.
Top tier comment 🙌🏾
It's him and Frank Lampard for me (coming from a ManU fan 😬)
Midfielder usually possess creativity, hindsight, precision, both offense - defences but not always come in single package. Gerrard clearly all of those in my opinion
One of the Best English players ever, one of the best Midfielders the world has ever seen, great tackle, great passing, great shooting. A true leader of his team as captain!
The by far best british player since england won world cup in 1966
plot twist, he was never a defence midfielder.
he was known for his passing and and long range shots.
the rest was dog work and passion.
if you go to war, Stevie G is your man. absolute unit!
True midtfield WARRIOR and one of the best to ever roam the midtfield.
He is the most complete midfielder England has ever produced. Even the likes of Pele and Zidane have said at one point he was the best player on the planet.
He now is the manager of the storied Midlands team Aston Villa (based in Birmingham, England) after a good stint leading Glasgow Rangers to the Scottish Premiership title. The story continues...
I honestly don't think I have seen a better midfielder in the whole world in my 40 years of watching football.
That guy was the epitome of a complete midfielder
You lads need to check out Paul Scholes. He was a bit mad but what a top footballer.
Not even close and you know it.
16:35 he is usually putting top spin on the ball when it comes down that quickly, very hard to save, very hard to actually do with accuracy
Matt Le Tissier is a must see for one of the most skillful players he scored some of the best goals ever in the English prem. Nickname "Le God" nuff said.
Thanks for the video, I've been really enjoying them. And sometimes it's on people I got no idea about and sports I don't follow. 🇦🇺
Liverpool fan here. Steve G is the goat for us. It was nice to see your opinion of him. Thanks for the video gentleman 👍
I wouldn’t say he is the GOAT of midfielders, because there are those who can play better than him in each position and roles. And Gerrard isn’t the first midfielder capable of playing multi roles and positions on world class level. But what sets him apart, was his important goals. Gerrard played against the biggest generation talent football have ever seen, and he kept Liverpool alive against the biggest beast in all competition. Every time another world class player is paired with him, they challenged for trophies. And Gerrard’s loyalty to accept less pay than he deserved by staying loyal to a club, no matter what, makes him a set in stone legendary even to managers.
you should see Xabi Alonso , the king of long passes 😂
another really good player from Liverpool at that time was Fernand Torres, he was probably the best striker in the world when he was there
Legend! Within football, and especially for the club. He will be our manager at some point, i'm sure of it!!
Such a gifted player and a good all rounder.
One of the greatest Midfielders there was and ever will be! Stevie G ❤️
Gerrard was one of Liverpools best ever players. He was what is known as a box to box midfielder. It is extremely rare to fine someone that can be a box to box specialist. This means that even though his position was central attacking midfield (CAM) he was just as good at defending and would often cover both sides of the field, taking on attacking and defensive responsibilities and due to his pin point long passes made for some amazing counter attacks as well as long range goals. He was also made Liverpool captain at a young age and kept the captaincy until he left the club at 33
Not a football fan much these days, but back in the day Gerard was one of the only players you could physically see Drive forward and take everybody with him..an absolute leader.
The best player to ever play for Liverpool, who used to single handedly carry the team on his back, without this man in the team they wouldn't have managed to win any silverware, he was the glue that tied everything together and the player they could always rely on him to drag them out of the dirt. Absolute Legend, one of the greatest Midfielders ever.
He is a fukn LFC legend!!! What a lad!!!
🙌🏼🙌🏼 yano that feeling when a prayers been answered 😂
If your bro likes passing try PAUL SCHOLES, In Barcelona’s youth academy when messi was growing up he said the coaches used to use Paul scholes as an example. If he likes curl, then David beckhams the go to guy. And you’ve more or less covered scoring but I’d invite ya to react to Wayne Rooney’s goals 🤦♂️. And yeah he manages my club!! UTV!!!
😂😂😂 HP SAUCE
@@dunsonhouse don’t make me laugh big man…but can you see why I was getting annoyed? These kids telling you to react to these dancers doing skills who need to play like 10 games to get a good clip..players like Gerrard was world class through out his career. As for gerrards bangers!? They could be a whole another video on itself.
Gerrard sniper shots link ua-cam.com/video/TtYI2lxLdSQ/v-deo.html ….save that video for when you wanna see some bangers!! Video you reacting to tried to get all his game in ^^ that vid is pure and utter worldies we call them. And man can’t holla at me with smoke 😂😂
You should watch the 2005 Champions League Final. Incredible game. Incredible leadership by Stevie G! History in the making that was.
He is what we call a "box to box" player
He is a box to box player , he played with a defensive midfielder next to him Lucas Leiva so it can compensate for the times he went in attack . That's the role of a defensive midfielder he stays there hovering around his area and drop down as a CB central back in need , and box to box are free to go both in attack and in defense but mostly they playmakers that can play central forwards or even wingers .
"So he's more of a defensive midfielder?"
🤣 strap in lads, your minds are about to be blown 🤣
Not sure if it’s just me but I feel like Gerrard didn’t get the recognition he deserved at least outside of England. True Box to Box midfielder…
Something not many have mentioned is he is the only player to score in the English league cup final, FA cup final, uefa cup final and champions League final.
He was big time in every way by every standard.
Yes you are right there is defensive midfielder,ofensive midfielder and like a central midfielder and it all depends on formation and tactics teams using.all those types of midfielders have also a role on the pitch for example: playmaker,deep lying playmaker,roaming playmaker,mezzala,box to box midfielder exc.
Now Steven Gerarrd original position was central midfielder(box to box) which means he played both sides of the ball offense and defense and in certain period of time he was best midfielder in europe also known as one of the best playmakers that footbal has ever seen.
Sorry for my english brothers much love from Serbia keep up that dope reactions :))
Steven Gerrad foot looked like fucking ROCKET LAUNCHER!!!!
There will never be another quite like Stevie. He was the rare kind of player who could not only do everything, but made it look easy too. It's no exaggeration to say that he won games by himself. If the rest of the team was underperforming, Gerrard was the guy who would take charge and drag them to victory single handed.
Gerrard = Captain Fantastic
That was his nickname in the EPL
ONE OF MY FAVORITE LIVERPOOL PLAYERS
Central Midfield general.. the engine room.. blend of defence/offence.. ball winner and great distribution (vision).. along with killer shooting and goal scoring ability
He was in my eyes the only midfielder along with Roy Keane who could have played in any era, in the 60s & 70s when the tackling was a lot harder than today they would have revelled in it, but Stevie pips it for me on his attacking play, he saved Liverpool on many occasions with game saving goals.
Gerrard. Master of football many clubs tried to lure him away for more money but he stayed at liverpool. Hope he becomes a great manager good luck stevie
I hope so too
Look up *Fernando Torres*. He was on the end of alot of those Gerard Passes.
Also Check out:
Xavi (cha-vee) Hernandez
Zinedine Zidane
Ronaldhino
He was a Total Footballer. He could play in Defence Right back Left Back Right Midfield Left Midfield Centre Midfield , No 10 striker. The best footballers of other countries leagues used to watch Liverpool Games just to watch him play and command the field like a Boss
Best box to box player the world has ever seen
Gerrard every goal for Liverpool, highly recommend it. Gerrard was arguably the best midfield player in the world, as an all round player there are only a few contenders for this title over the last 20 years but I don't think any of them could inspire the team like Gerrard. Being a Liverpool fan I am somewhat biased but any fan of any team would have taken him when he was in his prime.
this man literally started the best comeback in sport history
As a Liverpool fan I'm really glad that u react to Steven Gerrard
The nutmeg was against one of the best defenders ever too
King Steven, Stevie G absolute legend. Liverpool legend from a Liverpool born boy to serve all his career to his love of Liverpool no matter who or which top team wanted to buy him he was so loyal to his home town so many legends in Liverpool football club Stevie G is top of the list. Look at videos of other world class players an managers
comments about him takes him to even another level 1 of a kind up there with the greatest players ever they agree if u watch the Wright videos
i need you guys to go try shooting some of these goals and get a feel of how difficult these are... it helps with appreciating the skill even more :D
You should watch Trent Alexander-Arnold he's a young right back with arguably the best long pass in the world. If you want to see perfect passes you should watch him for sure
He models his play after Gerrard who was one of his heroes growing up, he hasn't quite reached Gerrard's level yet but he's damn close.
"He's like a football player!" ... "What??!! ... Ohhhh! No, I get you ... I get you"
There an offensive MD & defense MD
& there what called (BOX TO BOX) MD like STEVEN GERARRED . Who played from box to box passing & defending
When you talk about defensive or attacking midfielders…. Forget all that when it comes to Stevie Gerrard. He’s a complete midfielder. He’s all those positions rolled in to one. You saw those tackles, passes, runs, moments of genius and he has 186 goals for Liverpool. When players like zidane say you’re one of the best midfielders of your generation need we say anything else. Mr Liverpool
Perfect midfielder, box-to-box, number 8, whatever u wanna call it.
The skiper he is the complete package you guessed it right! He carried Liverpool on his back for decades.....You got a like before I even watch the vid lol
I love y’all reactions FR 🙏🏾
✊🏽
Thank you
Bro react to Zinedine Zidane I promise you won’t regret it because he was just pure magic
@@dahamohamed9572 ua-cam.com/video/Ex8HslU5RxI/v-deo.html
One of the greatest midfielder in the last 20 years
I think getting a true understanding of the positions will help you both a ton to understand the game and videos you react to. It gives so much context to what their general role and responsibilities are, which is crucial context to what you are watching and how their talents are played in a real game. i.e. you shouldn't expect Gerrard to be a speedy winger with flair (Neymar), but he does break-up opposing play, connect the defense to offense, passes and generally just controls the tempo of the game
The only aspect that was missed in that video was how clutch some of those goals were, and Gerrard was as a player -- Love y'all's reaction videos
Definitely in my Top 5 Box-to-Box midfielders of all time (for the Dunson's a Box-to-Box is a midfielder that plays all the field, defends and attacks)
