If we're looking for a midfielder to take over Stevie's role, we're going to have to look hard.
If we're looking for a replacement for Steven Gerrard himself, we might as well not start. He's a one off, and the next guy in the door will have the unenviable position of every thing he does compared with Gerrard. Which probably won't end well.
There's only one Steven Gerrard, and we have been incredibly lucky as fans that he has given us all that he has. The commitment, the passion, the performances and the goals, the unquenchable spirit. Not forgetting the humility and dignity.
How do you replace that ?
And if you're the incoming player, how do you live up to that ?
Pure class, on and off the pitch.
