Is it not 'Steven'?

 

:popcorn:

 

Cracking player though. The sheer number of top notch goals he has accumulated over the years is ridiculous.

 

His best one has to be his second in the FA Cup final - stunning.

ahh whatever

 

 

feck 'im

the one he smashes at the Kop end - think it's v Southampton is his best, for me

 

i mean in terms of importance the West Ham, Olympiakos, Milan goals take it hands down but that power of that strike is absolutely amazing

hes not as good as frank lampard according to talksport btw

 

Depends which Gerrard..Steven or Stephen?

He doesn't score enough with his head, or indeed the ear, back if the knee, and deflections off the aura of an opposing player to be considered a great midfield goalscorer for us

listened to that driving down to cornwall last week and they seemed to be saying the opposite

You mean he hasn't hit 100 already?

 

Just goes to show how good his goalscoring has become in the last 4 or 5 years, that I expected him to have got more than 100 already.

I'm not a regular matchgoer but have been lucky enbough to see the United, Alaves, Milan final and Olympiacos goals he scored in the flesh. The West Ham FA Cup final wins it for me for the occasion and the technique

surprised he's 'only' got 99 after 10 years to be honest, thought he'd be on a bit more

really? its not been 10 years though has it and he's played at centre mid for the vast majority of his games.

He only really started scoring loads of goals when Rafa came and changed his game.

99/00: 31 (1)

00/01: 50 (10)

01/02: 30 (4)

02/03: 55 (7)

03/04: 47 (7)

well, in the last week i've heard Durham, Wright & Townsend :o all state a preference for Steven

 

that fat t*** Parry was winding it up on Friday saying has he missed the boat for England by not playing last week and now Lampard has his place - he was pretty much shouted down by all and sundry

 

but there you go - light entertainment that station, take everything with a pinch of salt - most presenters change their opinions like the wind

Debut in late 1998 but hardly a regular until over 1yr later. I think one should compare his stats with the ones of the so called players that some think outclassed him such as Keane and Vieira and I think he probably has more goals and assists than the two put together.

Fair enough, thought he'd be on about 10 in the league and 5 in the cups or so a season. Guess the last few years stick in mind more than earlier years.

 

Don't know if it's due to Rafa giving him more of a free role or if Stevie has developed his goalscoring naturally, but the stick Gerrard in the centre debate is cleary rubbish. Rafa is getting the most out of Stevie.

Rafa said in his first year here that Stevie needed to learn when and where to run. He was trying to do everything, get on the ball at all times, but sometimes you're better off drifting out of the game for a minute or two to find space.

He is a much more effective player now when he plays off Torres than he was in 2003-4 season when he was paired with Hamann and basically tried to be a one-man team.
