Can we just all agree that Gedson Fernandes is a better player than all of those mentioned here (Modric, Gerrard, Scholes, Pirlo, Xavi, Iniesta, etc)?

Had a face liked a chewed toffee too. Him and Iain Dowie would make Michael Myers turn and run.
Myers would have scored more goals, he could slice open any defence

Carrick was a fantastic player, only thing is his defensive side of the game didn’t get good till the later stage of his career. I don’t mean tackling I mean his positioning, at United it really improved. Prior to that he was seen as a luxury player, amazing on the ball but could leave the defence open.
Shakira thought so
I think if you remove all the external stuff, the self promotion, the hype - football wise, he was an excellent, gifted player. He lacked pace but so did the likes of sheringham and zidane. Him and Neville were superb on the right for Utd, the most successful Utd. I don’t think he’s overrated but I think he’s an absolute bellend.
Under rated. Henderson by a country mile. A very very good player.
I think Hazard has world class ability but truly world class players don't go missing for full seasons, let alone twice in his career. On his day he is unplayable, but he is also very lazy in training and regularly shows up at preseason out of shape, at his age he can't be doing that anymore.
Both pale compared to prime Scholes. But I think Chelsea wouldn’t have had that golden era without Lampard.
Gerard wasn’t bad, I just don’t think he’s in my top 5 Prem midfielders
Christ. Whatever drugs you've been taking recently. Stop.
In a Liverpool shirt Gerrard was as good a player there was around for Donkeys years. Almost won games for them on his own at times.
What more does Gerrard have to his game beyond shooting and running around? Poor positional sense, average passer, poor tackling, poor vision. Gerrard is the typical example of effort over susbtance.
Alonso was the best DLP of his generation. Starting for not only Liverpool, but for many dominant sides including Real Madrid, Bayern and Spain NT. Even at 22, the Red Beard led sociedad to their highest point total ever and 2nd in la liga.
Anyone that thinks Gerrard is comparable to a technician like Alonso has probably spent too much time watching overrated english players running around in the PL.
whatever you see in Gerrard that makes you think he is a great player, I definitely don't see it. I care more for what a player can do with the ball, than what he can do with his body and Gerrard leaves me unconvinced.
I look at players like KDB and simply don't see Gerrard at the same level. I can't even think of a game in which he dominated the midfield against a top quality midfield opposition.
But to show you that my opinion is not as unique as you think
Steven Gerrard 'most overrated player' as Rangers boss beats Paul Pogba in vote
The Ibrox manager has finished top of a poll answered by over 6,000 supporters.www.dailyrecord.co.uk
Those survey's mean absolutely nothing. Most votes are probably from salty United, Everton and Celtic fans.
Here's a quote from Alonso himself.
Xabi Alonso: Make no mistake, Steven Gerrard was better than me
Xabi Alonso has played alongside Xavi, Andres Iniesta, Cristiano Ronaldo, Arjen Robben and countless other world-class players who’ll go down as legends when they retire. But he says his form…

“Oh for sure, he’s in my top 3,” Alonso told James Pearce of the Echo – who’s exclusive interview on Anfield Extra is fantastic viewing. “He made my game much easier, because I need better players than me around me, to make my game better. Believe me, he was one of them.
“Technically, physically, being able to deliver special moments… He was the most influential player in my career.
“What he meant for the club and how he showed that all over the world – everyone links Gerrard and Liverpool – and it’s just a perfect projection of the club.”
Or, like Zidane, does his own opinion not hold any weight with yourself? Anyway, I'm done talking about Gerrard. He's never played for Spurs and has been retired for a fair while now. I just find it absolutely bonkers someone can say the things you have about him and actually be deadly serious. But each to their own.
Different players and shouldn't be compared. But out of the two I'd say Gerrard was the better player overall. Both world-class but Gerrard elevated Liverpool more than Modric did for us or Real Madrid if I'm not being biased. But it's like comparing Suarez with Batistuta. Prefer to just call them both world-class as they offer completely different strengths to each other, and could easily play together in the same midfield.
