Willing to bet not one of the current crop will be as good as Gerrard was in his pomp. Box to box or not, he was everything to that Liverpool side, a monster. Perhaps not as subtle as some of the guys coming through but physically and technically excellent.

Lampard wasn't on the same level .. for me at least.

No way Fatty could have carried Liverpool like Gerrard did..... He was surrounded with top class players in every position. Gerrard wasn't.
 
Not sure where else to put this but to my fellow Australians how fucked is our football model now. pleb pleb SpurFromOz SpurFromOz AussieYiddo AussieYiddo

League Cup/Championship/Bundesliga/LaLiga/Serie A - Foxtel
UCL/UEL/UECL - Stan Sport
Premier League - Optus

Add in your standard movie/TV fix with Netflix/Amazon/Apple and we're being drained of cash every month. Bloody ridiculous

Ship ahoy! :cool:
 
So Infantino's "brilliant" solution to people not wanting a world cup every 2 years is to..... Have two world cups!

Man is a certified stooge.
 
We really should have went in for Daka. Can't believe Leicester got a free run at him.
funny how Leicester can find a decent striker to play backup to Vardy but we can’t sign a second striker because no one will be willing to be Kane’s understudy

Just another pathetic excuse from many of our “fans”
 
Vardy is 34, I imagine any young player coming in fancies his chances pretty soon!

To be fair he looks after himself and will continue to score goals for the next few years. He doesn't quite have the explosive pace he once had but he isn't showing any signs at all of finishing his career or having to drop some levels yet. Give him chances and he'll score.

That's fair, but as a guy arriving at 23 you're probably fancying the 34 year old leading the line will need rest on a regular basis, and also probably fancying you're chances of replacing him in the lineup within a season or two.

He may be wrong. But I'd say you're more likely to get gametime as a backup to Vardy than you are if you're a backup to Kane.

Yeah, I don't see Vardy as an automatic starter every week these days. But there's still plenty of football left in him, even at Premier League level. Though if Daka performs anything like he did today for them consistently he might find himself on the bench a bit more often!
