Too many people to quote but:
1. Cabs is right, Sledger is wrong
2. Alex Ferguson tried to sign Gerrard for Man U. Mourinho tried to take him to Real as well as Chelsea. I mean if Man U and Real don't fit your top clubs bill then I suppose, yeah, no other top clubs wanted him. To say he was stuck in Liverpool is such a tenuous point as if to say that firstly we would automatically know had anyone else ever inquired about him, and ignores the fact that because he wasn't going to leave, it makes the whole thing a non-starter. I'm pretty sure nobody knew Ferguson went in for him before his book came out. Shock horror - we don't know everything that happens behind the scenes.
3. So Halsey kind of makes a fair point about the individual errors, BUT the initial point was about how he had cost himself titles and what not. How many of those errors did that? And I'm sorry, penalty shootout miss, red card etc? Please. I agree though that the Chavs game last year is a good example of him going too far to try and swing the match back in his favour. If you feel that devalues the player then sure, is it worth trading off for the times he's legitimately dragged a game by the scruff of its neck? Who's to say. But to say because a player has made mistakes in a handful of games so he's to blame for his lack of titles is quite the jump.
At the end of the day, I'll go back to my point. If you don't like the guy, fair enough. Certainly if you dislike Liverpool I'm okay with that. But for me, at this stage I'm just glad to have witnessed a career of that stature, and grateful for his performances in the 2010 and 12 tournaments for England when picking up the **** (obviously he was **** in the last World Cup).
People can point to his trophy haul and call him overrated, at the end of the day opinions will always be just that but history will predominantly remember him as a great player, as rightly so.
