What would you do with Stevie if he returns?

[Paulie Dangerously]

It seems a possibility Gerrard could be coming back to us in any one of a number of roles.

 

What would you do with him?

 

I'd like him involved with the youth set up but not the first team.  He casts a huge shadow. 

[Baresi]

He'd be an ideal back-up for Clyne. 

[Stickman]

Have him on the bench as an emergency penalty taker

[Lario]

I'll go with whatever Klopp decides.

[Jairzinho]

Let him rot in the reserves.

[jamespp]

Either mighty red or selling carlsberg

[Tony Moanero]

I'd remove the Steven Gerrard Corinthian figure from my mantelpiece and throw it in the bin.

 

Steven Gerrard ruined my life.

[setreal]

I'd let him decide which position to play in.

[Russ Atmosphere]

He'd make an ideal scapegoat for not winning the title.

[setreal]

In FM I would send him out to scout some warm place where he can't do any damage.

[SasaS]

He should sit next to Dalglish and look pleased with what he is seeing.

[Dr Nowt]

Get him back at the Academy. Nice symmetry to Heighway's return and extra endorsement of the methods being followed.

 

Plus, to the best local kids who have to pick a club to develop at, do you want to work with Steven Gerrard or a shit, bitter parrot?

[setreal]

Scouse teacher for Jürgen and Zeljko

[njackets]

I'll go with whatever Klopp decides.

Is the right answer, he might be useful coming off the bench it's hard to tell what he has left.

[G Richards]

I'd have him working with the kids to gain experience and qualifications as a coach. It will be inspirational for them and at the same time it takes Stevie a little bit out of the spotlight, which is good. What the first team is doing right now is about them, under their leader Klopp. There's no reason why Stevie couldn't move into the first team coaching set up after a stint doing the above, by which time he would have his qualifications and some experience on the coaching side.

 

That's what I would do, but I'm confident in whatever Klopp decides, as he's the main man. He has more than enough gravitas to handle the potential fuss that might come with Stevie's return.

 

I wouldn't have Stevie come back as a player. Time respects no man, and Stevie is finished at this level as a player. I watched him get overrun in the MLS a few times, and while there were flashes of quality here and there, the LA Galaxy looked better when he didn't play.

 

I can understand the desire to stick him in the squad as a player to hopefully get enough minutes here and there to win that Premier League medal, should we do it - and there's a heck of a long way to go. However, that strikes me as misplaced charity. It could possibly also create unnecessary tension in the first team set up. They all know Stevie was the man, but what is happening now is their achievement, under Klopp. A new thing is emerging, as it must, and I'd let it run its course without bringing Stevie back in as a player.

 

It goes without saying that Stevie has had a great career and is firmly cemented as one of our best ever - and that's some accolade when you consider the list of players we've had over the years. But he shouldn't put his boots back on for LFC. His time has passed.

[Rotpeter]

IMO If Stevie had been in and around the squad that went to the UEFA final, that 2nd half probably wouldn't have happened. There's not many ways he can contribute these days, but deary me when we get to the part of the season when it's all about what's in your head, I'd want some of his character rubbing off on the squad. TBH it's our biggest unknown right now, and if I could stack the deck going into the business end of the season, I'd be all over it.

[Soleilrouge]

Send him around to Rafa's house to apologise

[Guest LFD]

Happy to go with whatever Klopp decides.

 

If he think he can offer something still as a player, I won't disagree - especially given the quality Gerrard has.

 

If he doesn't again, I'll back Klopp.

 

Will be great to have him back though in whichever way Klopp decides.

[ZonkoVille77]

I honestly couldn't give a bollocks.

[Paulie Dangerously]

Send him around to Rafa's house to apologise

 

Send him to Xabi's house to apologise for Rafa forcing him out

[TheHowieLama]

Have him and Gareth Barry start an Over 35s Sunday team. Boss tha.

[halewood pete]

Be good to have him back but agree with previous comments that it should be a non playing role.

Wouldn't be surprised though if he has a spell at Newcastle.

[Captain Turdseye]

I'd have him back as cover. It's Stevie Gerrard.
