Don’t be sentimental with Steven Gerrard
After the goal against QPR, many were yearning for the captain to abandon his plans to relocate to America, and stick around until we had got every last drop of inspiration out of the talisman. However, not so long before, it appeared that the 34-year-old was bowing out on a low point when he missed a penalty. He is a legend, one that teams discount at their peril, but no-one – perhaps including the player himself – wants him to bow out having been unable to produce his best, and prolonging that shall only makes things worse. If it isn’t going his way against Chelsea, Rodgers shall have to seriously question whether he would keep him on if he wasn’t Steven Gerrard.
