2) Philippe Coutinho is our new main man
The Brazilian has been simply superb this year, emphasises by his recent PFA nomination. The goals and assists that we were all saying he needed to add to his game are starting to come. The spectacular strikes against Southampton and Manchester City were a joy to behold, while he netted crucial goals throughout our FA Cup run. It’s worth remembering that this guy is still 22; think how good he could become in a couple of years with a team built around him.
1) It’s the right time for Steven Gerrard to go
He’s been a captain. He’s been an inspiration. He’s been a legend. He’s been the best player we’ve ever produced. But the time is right for both Gerrard and Liverpool to go their separate ways. He just can’t run a game the way he once did – that much was clear against Aston Villa last weekend. He’s been a wonderful servant and has earned all the recognition that comes with it, but it’s time from him to step aside and open the door to a potential successor. Replacing him certainly won’t be easy.
