they have had better players like. players who have won so many more league titles. players who have won more european cups. i just don't get it. the premier league has seen so many better players like henry, players who actually won the league; didn't see anywhere near this extent. been banging on about it for a whole year.
shows how much of a influence they have in the media.
You got it.
I mean your absolutely right with what you said regarding Slippy. He has an impressed list of honors won with LFC, but he never won one trophy that really help defined who LFC is: The league.
To me that's important in defining what his legacy is because LFC made a name for themselves by dominating the 1st division for the better part of three decades. Yes LFC dominating the European Cup help put LFC on the map globally, but that wouldn't of occurred without the domination of the 1st Division. Hell, Bob Paisley even once said (and i'm paraphrasing the quote) that winning the European Cup is great, but it's winning the league that's important because it's your bread and butter.
And old slippy never did that and the one time they got frighteningly close to winning the league, he played an extremely large role in blowing it and whatever or not the Kopite cult wants to admit this or not (and of course they won't) when people think of Gerrard, they will always think of that faithful day in the 2014-15 season where he slipped in that game against Chelsea, despite saying "We won't let this slip", leading to a Demba Ba goal and effectively was the beginning of the end for LFC and their title hopes.
Putting my rational bias, hate and bitterness towards LFC aside if I could for a second, it's because of that when your talking about great LFC players that I could never put Slippy in the same boat as players like say......Kevin Keegan, Ian Rush or the Court Jester Dalglish, total beauts in their own right, but still good players, important LFC players and players who won one of the most important trophies for LFC to win: The League.
Not to mention, I thought he was overrated as a player (good, but don't THE GREATEST [Poor language removed] REDMAN IN KOP HISTORY YNWA AHHHH!!!!) and of course a total fraud as a "leader" and a human being as well. He doesn't deserve to have the Christ like treatment he gets from the Kop. Seriously, the only thing that's missing from pictures shown of Gerrard is a halo shown on his head. Of course if I went on RAWK, I probably could find a drawing of him with a halo around his head.
Good riddance, Stevie Me.
