Everyone's entitled to their opinion but, seriously, that is complete and utter bollocks of the highest order mate. I'm actually shocked that anyone, aside from the most deluded scousers, would even suggest it.

Gerrard's biggest fault is his attempts at being "the complete footballer".
Trying defence splitting passes that have little chance of reaching their target (and usually don't) when he should be keeping possession......
Trying to burst the back of the net instead of finding a team mate in a good position etc

What you mean is, Gerrard can tackle a bit better than Scholes.
Well, maybe so, but Scholes is better than Gerrard in every other department.
Passing, shooting, running with the ball, keeping possession, staying on his feet.......

Gerrard's a good player, but not in the same league as Scholes.
Never has been. Never will be.

Paul Scholes is/was the best English footballer of his generation, and one of the best of all time.

Coming from someone who reckoned Ronaldo's been "shit since he left United", in a season where he's scored 54 goals, I think we can take anything you say with a big fcuking truckful of salt pal.

Or we could take the opinion of someone who's only just decided what team he supports over that of the best footballers in the world, who all say Scholes is the best they've ever played against.

It's great that you enjoy the game and like to have an opinion son, but I'd leave the real football talk to those that know a bit about it.

Gerrard isn't good enough to lace Scholes' boots.

You're the first person I've ever known, who isn't a Liverpool fan, who thinks Gerrard is even in the same league as Scholes.

Without exception, every other person I know, with an interest in football, can see that Scholes is head and shoulders above Gerrard.

That's fans of Leeds, Dundee Utd, Rangers, Celtic, Blackburn, Chelsea, Sunderland, Villa, Bolton, Newcastle, Barnsley, even City.
I don't listen to anything Arsenal fans say, those dudes are wired up all wrong somehow.

There's no way on earth Gerrard is the complete player either. He tries, but doesn't even come close.
His long passing is ****ing awful for a start.

He's a luxury player who gives possession away far too much, by looking for defence splitting passes that he's not capable of completing.
