Personally I think it's a shame how fast Gerrard declined for example virtually every other well known midfielder, pirlo, carrick, lampard, scholes, giggs, cambiasso, xavi etc all either got better with age or continued his form in a steady decline unlike Gerrard who for half of last season was winning plaudits for his performances and then in the last few months of that season fell off the cliff and hasn't been back since he's just gone

Ah come on!! Scholes was a bit part player in the end, Xavi is on the bench, as is Lampard. Gerrard was an ever present until this season. How many goals did he score last season in the team that came second. I think you do him a great dis-service. Pirlo is still a great player, but he just defies logic, great player!

Those players weren't playing every game like Gerrard did for us,neither carried the whole team alone on their shoulder like Gerrard caried LFC for alomost all his carrier.injuries aside that has taken masive toll on his body.
No player in football will ever come close to what Gerrard did in his prime for us, he won all trophies single handedly &

When a large portion of your game is drive and power when your legs go, so does a large portion of your game.
He couldn't adapt to a different role like say Pirlo as he's not as technically gifted.

Gerrard is 34 & should have retired at 32/33. The other players are all more effective than him if still playing or played at a better standard for longer. Xavi & lampard are bench players but lampard scores goals from open play and Xavi can still control the tempo of games, scholes came out of retirement and even then was utds best midfielder that half a season at 35/36 carrick is 34 ish and utds recent form has been pretty much down to his return from injury, pirlo is pirlo. Alonso is another giggs was also still a dream into pretty much has last season but he was about 60 at the end of that my point is Gerrard can only take penalties where's all the others could play the game at and past his age
