How good was he really?

He gave out the Maximus stuff often enough, mostly motivated by his own desire for myth creation. He's rightly remembered for some terrific blood-and-thunder performances over the years.

But where was his sophistication, where were the subtleties of thought and decision that turn a very, very good footballer into a great footballer?

Where was he at Crystambul? A leader who failed monumentally at the decisive hour. Maximus the general could only blubber and sob when his troops needed direction, needed to stop Palace after they scored their first. He abandoned his post, pushed the cameras away, left the field in tears.

Pre-eminent controlling midfielder, my arse.
Gerrard was a good player, but he had an over inflated reputation due to all the goals he scored from range, conveniently ignoring the 99 times he missed and gave the ball back to the opposition before one went in.

Of course you're right. Happy to showboat for sky cameras when it's going to plan but less forthcoming for the cameras to appear when it's going tits up. Then fucked off to the US of dollars when they offered him more money. Legacy not intact.
