I am surprised with some reactions on here when a legend is about to leave our beloved club. I don't understand why in the midst of this surprising news some people questioned his contributions and seems to disrespect or underrate his role in the team.

A lot of people on here seems remember mostly his weaknesses during his twilight years and glad that he will leave instead of remember what he has done for our club for more than a decade. Some people compare him with Souey, the King, and so on and argue that Stevie is not as good as other Liverpool greats.

I think there is no point in doing so. We never knew how good Stevie would if he play in the 70s or 80s and we never know how King Kenny or other previous greats would perform if they play in the Premier League ere and under Hodgson or Rodgers.

It's all speculation. Why can't we just applaud his achievements and remember Gerrard as someone who spent 17 years in our beloved club and won 10 trophies with us?or just like Ed002 said because he's a Liverpool player so he should be slagged?

{Ed002's Note - The world's most fickle "fans" decided after the last game that they wanted him out.}

Totally agree . But ed don't tarnish all LFC fans the same please . Cheers

{Ed002's Note - This is typical of the moron fans who think it smart to say something like this.}

Tbh I think that Liverpool fans look at what's best for the club and team moving forward. There is nothing wrong with opinions.

{Ed002's Note - Right - after the last game they were forming a mob to go and lynch him. A day later they are all in tears. They want the entire team changed every year so they can say it is simply "another year of transition". There seems to be a complete lack of knowledge coming through with this new breed of fans.}

Many of the worlds most fickle fans jumped on the bandwagon when Liverpool were actually winning things.

When they don't win much (which they really don't anymore), the fickle fans question everything down to the cleaning lady.

I suppose it's down to the global game that is football/soccer, and a football fan is becoming a generic fan across the board.

Gone are the days of the true identity of supporting the reds.

They make us a laughing stock, as do many other fans of the big clubs in English football.

Brendan was the messiah, now he's just another football manager who deserves the sack.

Tut tut.

It is now the right time that he leaves, for both himself and the club. Saying this is slagging him or being fickle or being an person how? I have untold happy memories thanks to his contributions the past 16 years and they will always stay with me. Recognising a player is past his best and thus in need of playing less, irrespective of his legend status, is neither fickle nor some sort of terrible reaction as both the OP and the Ed are suggesting. Why can't honest, alternative opinion be shared? Or do we all have to reach an absolute consensus because its Gerrard? Utter nonsense.

It is not worth commenting on this ill thought through statement. Are Liverpool fans any more fickle than other clubs who are under achieving. Remember last season re United, Chelsea with AVB and Benitez. How many world wide fans do LFC have and what percentage comment on this site? Stupid comment.

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool fans are the most fickle - and constantly embarrass themselves about trying to make everything about Chelsea.}

I think ................

{Ed002's Note - I can't believe you still want to make this about Chelsea. Let go of it - Gerrard is going for more money - move on.}

7.) 03 Jan 2015
I believe it is just this site attracting those "fickle" fans in numbers - more than it is Liverpool fans in general.

{Ed002's Note - Based on what evidence? You appear to be simply making stuff up.}

8.) 03 Jan 2015
Not all of us though ed .

{Ed002's Note - No one suggested it was everyone - except those that are not terribly bright.}

9.) 03 Jan 2015
Why don't you .....................

{Ed002's Note - Suck it up - Gerrard is leaving for more money. Last week everyone wanted him out - all of the fans were looking to drive the worn out, slow, money sucking leech out of the club. Once he says he is going then he is some sort of god. It is nothing to do with Chelsea. It is simply Gerrard and money - and the fans getting what they want. Then out come the whining little bitches like you who somehow think it is something to do with Chelsea. Embarrassing to the extreme.}

Why do people have to include Chelsea everytime they post on here? It is just pathetic. SG wanted more money and more game time that many in and outside the club including me, don`t think he deserves any more hence, he left and goodluck to him. Fans bitching about him leaving after bitching that he should be gone are doing the very same thing they accuse BR of doing which is, trying to have it both ways. PATHETIC!

{Ed007's Note - Folk need to try and drag Chelsea into things to try and have a pop at Ed002, and I've noticed a lot of LFC supporters are jealous of Chelsea's money/transfers and their consistent(ish) success over recent years.}

I don't think anyone actually wants SG to leave, I think the majority of people wanted him to be used more appropriately ie resting him more often to keep him fresher for bigger games. It's just some people are better at wording it than others. Wanting him to be used appropriately is not the same as wanting him out.

Sorry Ed002, but not all Liverpool fans act like that. It's just like saying "all English people don't brush their teeth" or "all african american men are criminals and in gangs".

{Ed002's Note - And where did anyone suggest it was "all" Liverpool fans. Find someone to read it to you slowly.}
