People harp on too much about him not winning a Premiership winners medal but he won everything else. It was shit perpetuated by the media round about when Mourinho was trying to nab him for Chelsea, the idea that if you played for Liverpool you were somehow wasting your talent.

 

He won everything under the sun here including a cl - the absolute pinnacle of club football which very few English players of his generation got a sniff of.

 

Plus he was a hero here, a legend rather than a footsoldier whose only value was in a good performance, and both Owen and Torres can testify to being on the wrong end of that decision.

Seriously, we need to build something new. We had about 2-3 years of trying to figure out what would happen when he went.  We need young players who are willing to step up and take responsibility. Him

He'd be a massive boost for the players. Not on about in a playing role but what he would bring to the changing room. We have a young squad and they could benefit massively from extra knowledge and motivation.

Gerrard needed to go because Rodgers was determined to shoe-horn him in as a lynchpin in the middle of the park, regardless of his immobility, and in that position he was a liability to the side. But if he did come back in a playing role, you'd trust Klopp to know how and when to use him - like the twilight years of Scholes at United.

I thought he left because he could no longer be guaranteed a regular start.

That's what I had read as well but his point about where Rodgers played him is spot on.

 

Maybe having been in L.A. for 18 months and watching LFC from afar he's come to accept that though. Also I can't help but think Klopp would have a much better control over the situation than Rodgers. I don't really walk to talk about the latter much but I never got the sense that he was comfortable around the bigger personas in the dressing room. Klopp on the other hand seems to be able to navigate things like that with the best of them. I have no doubt that Gerrard would be only be coming back in a capacity that both sides, and Klopp especially, were okay with.

So whats the deal with this?

 

And Klopps comments. Does anyone know what role Stevie is likely to be taking? Playing? Coaching? Ambassador?

None of the above in this moment. Great as he was in the no. 8 shirt Liverpool FC is not in need of him, in this moment, and sentiment needs to be put aside here until he proves he can offer something useful in this moment.
