Steven Gerrard

I played with one who had everything.

Steven Gerrard could do it all.

Um, one of the problems at the minute in the way football's played now is midfielders aren't generally given the license to be a complete midfielder anymore, where you can be a defensive midfielder and attacking midfield.

You tend to see midfielders now play a certain role.

Did, did, did Emery absolutely rinse everything out of that previous squad? You know, did he do that? And, and he probably did, and it ended in a European trophy, so we can't complain.

Now it's his team because a lot of them he, he did, he inherited from Dean Smith, you know, from Steven Gerrard, from...

And did great with them.

Um, I think probably it was a little bit too intense for them in the end.

Listen, that happens in football.

Look at Steven Gerrard.

All the things Steven did in his career.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

I might miss, miss out.

Um, I'm gonna go and pick, uh, Steven Gerrard.

[laughs]

Why? All right, hang on, please

No, I've just given you your flowers.

That's below Pirlo level

You literally mocked me and lar- made everyone laugh at me- I know, but I'm, I'm joining you ... and then picked Steven Gerrard I joined you

Loon-

getting massive profits on players that have been utter failures Omari Kellerman there'll be a huge I think there'll be a Netflix documentary on Omari Kellerman who went from Villa to Chelsea for like 19 million and then has now never played for Chelsea I think maybe played maybe once or twice in the cup game and now he's gone to Strasbourg it's just a

the Kellyman thing it was odd because he wasn't even he was one of those guys that was a bit of hope for a Villa but like not like in that sort of not the kind of way that you would be sort of saying we're banking our future on him people weren't angry when they got 20 million from him let's face it or 19 or whoever it was The bigger example of that is Carney Chukwumeka, right? So he was the star of the youth cup winning team and Gerrard, the one thing he did for Villa really was just kept bringing him on with five minutes to go on games where he made zero impact but suddenly he's got 16 Premier League appearances and...

when they're looking for PS or Chelsea give him 20 million for him he wants to go it's like Grant go on doesn't make it a Chelsea disaster and I'm thinking like this guy's career is completely fine how could Chelsea keep affording to make these mistakes this sort of thing is in my head

and they sell him for 24

No doubt if a Ham tennis, like Rangers or Hearts, there'd be a year-long cry in the media, but obviously nothing happens when the Ham does, of course, we just forget about it.

But we don't like to talk about VAR and stuff, that's for guys like Derek McInnes and Steven Gerrard, losers.

he got into the game there at the end he really probably should have scored that one that the goalie saved with a shim as I call Kimona I thought he was good but then I think he should have scored that one as well, I thought it was a good save, but I thought he sort of put it too near the goalie in a way, made it easier for the goalie to serve.

But I mean, in the end, it was a good win, but as usual, I think people are going over the top, because we didn't win 6-0 or something, that was never going to happen with the team that we picked.

I don't really look at us as having a midfield.

Daniel's coming on a game, I'll give him that, but I don't really look at our midfield and think, you know, a la Gerrard, that this is a team unit that's going to control the entire pitch as we move up and down it.

So you're right in saying that the midfield is often where the old firm games won and lost.

I really hope we have a plan to kind of make that not the case on Sunday.

Yesterday, I watched Liverpool.

And on the first half, Stevie Gerrard was bemoaning how bad Liverpool had played that first half.

And I sat there thinking, I thought I saw a right game of football.

I quite enjoyed that game of football.

How long ago was it that a Rangers team actually played free-flowing football in boss games? Because d- don't...

I mean, I don't want a- anybody to come on and start giving me Steven Gerrard's team, 'cause they didn't.

They actually got to a situation where they started, instead of the draws and the defeats, they started grinding out 1-0 wins because they, they bolted the back door.

Yeah.
