Who said he's perhaps the best PL player?
Rodgers said it, his manager, a man who knows the club wants Gerrard to stay on so why wouldn't he say it?
Perhaps is a very sweeping statement, and although I love Stevie G and will always see him as one of the PL Greats, you could also use the word 'perhaps' to discuss the legend status of a whole host of players.
We could work out a formula I guess but you'd need start with some of these details...
- Trophies Won
- Goals/Clean Sheets
- Seasons Played
- Games Played
- Teams Played for
- Win percentage
- Goal/Assist/Clean Sheet percentage of overall team totals
- Match winning goals
- Match winning saves
- Match winning tackles
- Pass completion percentage
and on, and on and on...just a few names to consider below along with Gerrard
- Schmeichel
- Shearer
- Terry
- Henry
- Scholes
- Lampard
- Cantona
- Giggs
- Bergkamp
In summation, it's all subjective as to where you stand as a fan. It's like arguing about Beer vs Whiskey (it's all good but depends on your taste).
