How Liverpool need to react to Gerrard's departure
The first reaction of every Liverpool fan was of genuine shock and devastation. That is the natural reaction and rightly so, but as a football club we cannot feel sorry for ourselves. And anyway, should we really be shocked? He is not the same player he was, even the most loyal Gerrard fans such as myself must now accept that. He has followed the path that Carra took and chosen to go out on a high, and on reflection, I think that is the right thing to do.
Many fans had been calling for Stevie to be dropped against Leicester, instead, now fans will be wanting to get the most out of his last 20 or so appearances for Liverpool. There is little room for sentiment in today’s game, but I would be surprised if we hear any more moans about Gerrard’s form between now and May.
Last season had all the potential to be the fairy-tale ending to his Liverpool career, and he would have deserved it. But cruelly, some things are not meant to be, and the squads he was in at Liverpool were never quite good enough. So bar a miracle over the next 5 months, the one trophy Gerrard missed out on in a red shirt is the league, and that will always remain painful.
Performances in the last two seasons have shown Liverpool can cope in his absence, we may not have a direct replacement for a while, maybe never, but in fairness he hasn’t been that world beater himself in recent years. What can be argued is that Liverpool are losing the heart of their team. Well the first eleven may lack scousers next season but I don’t think it lacks leaders. The ready made captain appears to be Henderson, he lacks the touch of class Gerrard has but certainly lacks no passion.
This news now could be the inspiration the players need to get their season back on track. The dressing room and us as fans last year wanted to win that title almost as much for Stevie G as we did for ourselves. What better motivation could the team have to turn this season around. Liverpool are still in three cup competitions, including the semi-finals of the league cup and within touching distance of the champions league places.
Lets enjoy his last few effortless 50 yard through balls, crunching tackles, calmly slotted penalties, rallying cries, oh and with any luck a classic Gerrard screamer that takes the net off. But most importantly, let's all keep Anfield noisy till the end of the season and help Gerrard get his hands on some goodbye silverware.
