"Thats it, this season is over. Get well soon Stevie G! Lets strengthen during the close season and come back and win the Premier League le which you so richly deserve!"
"NO NO NO! Thats real bad news. Other players need to stand up and be counted.
Time for Maxi-Cole-Raul
Spearing & Carroll to prove there worth. Do it for Stevie,Do it for the fans YNWA"
"oh what a crappp............ so what we gonna do? how we can reach the europa place without SO many injuries?? its' freekin' killin' me off// no Stevie, no Agger, no Martin..."
"I saw it coming....our medical team is useless, they rush players out of injury only to have them under the knife one week later. Its a blow to the careers of these men let alone to mention the pinch that we supporters and the club feel."
"Hard luck, no luck with injuries, we have won great games without him, remember when Raul was scoring for fun, we were wondering where we would play our captain when he comes back. Time for Raul and Lucas, to take charge of the mid, we have Suarez for freekicks. 7 run still on. Come on REDS."
"Get better Steve... Realistically after the loss on the weekend we are building towards next year now. Gives us time to give experience to youngsters this year, a few key signings in the summer and aim for top 4 in 2011/2012!
YNWA"
"Very bad news..
on the brighter side . it yields opportunities for Spearing, Meireles and Others.
Come on LFC, Don't Make Kop feels gerrard's absence"
"As important as Stevie is, just emphasis what a weak squad we have that people state our season is over as a result, I for one will be pleased to see the back of this season for a number of reason most notably our lack of consistency."
"With the injuries we have the team to play city should be something like
3-5-2
Reina
Carra Skrtel Wilson
Kuyt Lucas Meireles Cole Fabio
Carroll Suarez
Cole's wanted to play more centrally so here's her chance
"
"This isn't a bad thing necessarily. We now have three of our best players who will have a long rest intime for our assault on the league next year. Add to that 4 or 5 new faces and a better understanding between Carroll and Suarez and we could be unstoppable next year. A bastion of invincibility!!! YNWA In Kenny I Trust"
"Half of me thinks this is GOOD news.Stevie's played a LOT of games over the last few years.
We all know that next season is what it's all about,this season is pretty much a write of anyways.A fully fit and well rested Gerrard could really push us on next season.Too many games in Europa league anyway! "
"Very sad news for LFC and its supporters. I wondered if it was being very optimistic seeing Stevie G back so soon after what was a long standing problem with his groin. Now that we know whats laid out on the stall, our best chance is to blood younger players and it'll be a bonus if we achieve 5th. Good incentive for the young lads to prove themselves in the first team."
"I don't think we were going to get 5th after we lost to West Brom and now with these injuries we've had we must focus on winning and staying 5th making it an improvement from last years 7th and an improvement from where we would have been under Roy Hodgson. "
"Every cloud has a silver lining, at least with the injuries we have we will be able to sort out in the remaining games the wheat from the chaff so to speak. For me I'd like Jonjo Shelvey to be given a go in Steven's position."
"...and there ends any lingering hopes of making any European headway this season. We should now concentrate on introducing some reserve players in the seven games we have left, look to the future, and concentrate on getting our squad fully fit for a challenge in 2011/12."
"Could be a blessing in disguise.Thursday games aren't ideal for a Premiership challenge.In fact playing for ONLY domestic honors next season wouldn't be so bad.Pliz graduate the likes of Suso, Sterling, Silva etc"
"i am about to cry! Daniel Agger is out for the rest of the season and NOW STEVIE OUR CAPTAIN FANTASTIC AS IF THAT AGGER THING ISNT ENOUGH but u can come to our matches still and cheer and encourage us!please!"
"We need more positive atude. this is not over. Liverpool have a lot more player we can still depend on. We Need to be more positive when face something like this. We Are LIVERPOOL FC Fan. Act like one.
"
"total agree ahbenglo
we do need to play the youth we have some class act coming through. maybe not on monday. Still belive people still belive if u belive in them they belive in you. Ynwa ,we are a family we stick together. we will be fine trust."
"Get well soon Steve we are alll going to miss u, I pray that God will heal you so u can come back better for us and the only thing missing from u profile will be fulfill come next season.In name amen. YNWA"
"for sake just when we can start pressin for top 5 were struck down severly by injuries. it shows how bad were off that i dont think we have any fit full backs. i think raul can play de stevie role instead of being out on the wings... mayb a chance for joe cole to get one last shot???
"
"very bad news.Credits to Benitez,Hodgson and Capello for playing him to the maximum.I suppose that LFC board must protect him as he's not a young boy anymore and we want him to be the leader of the new era."
"really sad news to say the least *sniff*...time for the rest of the team to step up like the King said, Raul played well in Stevie's absence AND SCORED!...COLE ,this is it now,no more talk, action aaallll the way ,I think shelvey would do well in the role too ! Soto & skrtel need to sort themselves OUT! PUSH ON AND WE CAN PUT PRESSURE ON SPURS,GET WELL SOON CAPTAIN FANTASTIC,YNWA, LFC4LIFE`8O)"
"Bad news but we can't just give up cos he's out. Come on - we have the players to do this - reds always believe - if not - go and support another team! Others will have to show what they are worth and step up and EARN a place next season at this club. If not, go elsewhere. Performance related pay - EARN YOUR MONEY AND PLAY WITH PRIDE FOR LFC! Fans -we need to play our part -starting on Monday "
"Bad News I think Stevie G should seriously consider following Carra and quite the England Squad. He can then concentrate on securing more les with LFC."
"Now he has time to heal fully. Yes the team will miss Stevie any team would. This season has not been our best but through it all it will make the players hungrier stronger and ready for next season which will see us up there and challenging for honors.
YNWA"
"Captain Marvel will be back next season even stronger with a rejuvenated Liverpool squad! And if we are to keep fighting then please dont play Raul on the wings, please! He is 100% innefective and that costs us the game. Play Cole or Maxi on the left and play Raul in the middle with Lucas, then we've got hope for 5th place. YNWA"
"Lucas and Raul in midfield with Suso behind Carroll, Suarez and Kuyt either side..come on the Reds!!! Pacheco could have played a big part, oh well...YNWA"
"very sorry to steven hope you get well soon, bt realistically we are out of EL, the number 5 spoit is unattainable we should stop giving ourselves false hopes we know how our midfield is poor, as a fan am taking any results for liverpool 4rm nw bcoz our season is over"
"The majority here appear to be giving up,
Yes this season is a bust,
yes we've had injuries a lot,
yes the squad needs revitalizing,
But this is still our team, it is still possible to gain 5th, so get behind the team and also wish SG a full recovery,
YNWA"
"from macmanaman to Fowler to Carragher to Owen to Gerrard to Kelly,,,,,i'm sure there's another legend waiting inside the youth team,,,,,,lets try them YNWA!!!!"
"this season is s**t.i hope he gets ready for the next season though.but i'm fed up with Agger and i'd sell him if we got an offer from some teams.he is TOO injury prone.YNWA"
"It seems the players who are trying to drag the team to the level they should be at end up taking on too much and getting injured. I'm sure If we can imprve the squad, our fighters (Gerrard, Agger, Johnson, Kelly) will have a less gruelling time and so, more time on the pitch."
"Stevie G will be back stronger and better than ever next season.Now is the time for other players to step up and make up for this,it is time for them to prove to the fans and the club.....
YNWA"
"We'll miss him, but it doesn't mean we'll lose all our games, which some will beleive if they choose to have no opinons of their own, and let the media form opinions for them. We are more then a 1 man team, we've won many games this season without Stevie."
"That sucks. But it's probably smart. Let's get these guys fit, truly fit, not just fit enough to play as soon as possible. I think that has been a problem for us for the last several years. Without a deep squad, we had to get players back quickly, maybe too quickly."
"europe is out of it now give some of the kids a run instead of the likes of cole maxi kuyt & jovanovic Pick coady ngoo suso or silva they all have a better future at this club than the crap above"
"how about using Meireles-Lucas in CM, Cole on LM, Kuyt on RM, Carrol + Suarez up front?
Meireles is his deadliest in the centre of the pitch and from those few games he started with Lucas in the centre we usually control the midfield ..."
"very bad news to hear. Get well soon Mr. Gerrard hope to see you fit and well next season.
Now it's Raul Meireles' time to shine again! just like last time when Gerrard was out injured. "
"Very disappointing but we have gotta move on now...we need a must win vs City so we stiil have good players to fill the Stevies boots....common you guys be positive as being negative wont bring back Stevie before he supposed to! YNWA Liverpool 3:1 Man. City
Just my prediction :)"
"We didn't really have anything to play for anyway. Personally, I hope we don't get Europa League because its an awful competition. Lets just concentrate on getting back into the top four next season. Rest up Stevie."
"Get well soon Stevie.
It may affect the team but will not stop the team. No one man is bigger than LFC, we can carry on upwards and with the right atude win the last 7. Failure can only be achieved by those who have tried. We, the fans must support our team as we have always done.
From the ashes the Phoenix rose, from this poor season the Liverbird will rise!
YNWA"
"Terrible news and sums up our season really.Up to our remaining squad to do the best they possibly can now,let's just get behind all the lads who pull on the shirt for us.
We will come back better,fitter,stronger and banish this saga of a season from memory."
"lets see how good the magnificent superhuman lucas is can he fill gerrards boots dont make me laff he can wash the cars in the carpark we need raul and joe in the middle and maxi and kuyt on either wing if coles not getting played for the rest of the season then get shut of him in the summer"
"gerrard is a huge loss but its not the end of the world if we dont qualify for europe. under woy we were relegation material under kenny well i dont need to say anything. the best thing to do in the summer is bring in the right players if it means spending big money so be it"
"The season's over anyway, there's no way we'll qualify for CL, and just keeping in Eufa will be a result the way we're playing. BUT we have nowt to prove in Europe, been there done that, hopefully we can start fresh next season with a real le challenge."
"Oh NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!! We can't play without our captain. We miss so much. I feel very sorry for him to miss the rest of the season. That's not fair!"
"Camille-LFC and others who are sayng we can't play without him and our season is over - GET A GRIP! Sure we can play and have done in the past - he will be missed but the others need to step up!"
"The gods of football have turned against us. We will sojourn on with the fight until the very last minute of our EPL 2010-11 season. We are Red 4ever.
YNWA!!!"
"tbh i dont mind if we dont get the europa place this season, tottenham are 4 points ahead with a game in hand, europa is a waste of time and fitness so we should be able to concentrate on top 4 more"
":'( get well soon stevie! Heartbroken that I won't get to see you playin in two weeks i was really looking forward to seeing my hero playin but that's not going to happen :'( hope you have a quick recovery #YNWA
"
"More bad news , to get fifth we need our best team on the field. missing three good players leaves us looking at the very real possibility that Everton will finish above us and maybe even an eighth place finish. Bad news for Liverpool , bad news for Kenny ,terrible team terrible season !!"
"I wrote 5 times about injuries here...Agger,Aurelio,Johnson,Stevie G.,Carra,Carroll,Meireles...This season CANNOT happen twice...changed owners,changed manager,new players...That's why we are on 6th,mates and that's why we can rich EL very difficult.GET WELL,S.G.YNWA>"
"its always a big blow when Stevie doesn't play and to be out for the rest of the season is even worse, but i have faith in king kenny and the rest of our team,it will give an opportunity for others to step up to the plate and prove themselves as players and worthy of the red shirt"
"I think most of us were thinking last season that we would be on top for this season. It didn't happen.
So I don't wanna be negative but the important think is to think about every game to play and take 3 points at each of them. That will put Liverpool on top
YNWA"
"this obvs isnt good but this is the time where coles value should show. without stevie he now has his time to show his worth in midfield. wither a 3 4 3 or 3 5 2 formation kuyt, cole, lucas, meirreles, aurelio or kuyt upfront with suarez and carrol
"
"Terrible news not just for the team and the fans but for the man himself. With idiot thugs like Barton gobbing off its th last thing I wanted to hear. So the team now has to do it for SG and the fans. Keep the faith, fellow Reds, we can get into Europe again. Roll on next season and a fit squad. YNWA"
"Get well Stevie! Lucas should grab this chance since Jay can play defensive. Show us, since TEAM LUCAS says he is creative, best up player etc etc. Nasri could only play in the middle when Cesc was out and showed his class. NO EXCUSES FOR TEAM LUCAS NOW. Let us see the assist, passing range and engine to boss the midfield. Back passes don't count! Good luck Lucas!"
"By the way, did Lucas get a mention in Player of the Year or Young Player of the Year nominations? Oh forgot, THE WHOLE WORLD IS WRONG about Lucas. Best player in Liverpool eh? Come on Lucas, you are the future Stevie! Stevie was nominated at your age mate!"
"Never you mind what I write, I want to see Liverpool succeed. Since Lucas is the best player/consistent player/creative player that he is, prove me wrong. Till the end of the season, the MIDFIELD is all yours Lucas. Unleash the talent. I am waiting With Bated Breath! Watch out City! Good luck Lucas!"
"I do not see why we needed to wait for his body to make the decision for us. Stevie Gerrard has been due a serious break for a looong time. As for the gaps in midfield, where is Aquilani? Where is Pacheco?"
"At least we'll have him fresh at the start of next season and he won't be involved with England. I'd be more gutted if we were challenging for the league but we're not challenging for anything."
"Is it just me or has even Kenny fallen in with the buy-British brigade? Should the world's best club pass up the world's best talent merely because it is not British? Get Romelu Lukaku. If not, get Neymar. They are Liverpool quality, and that's what matters. "
"Poor, poor Stevie. Already a legend, captain and soul of the team, I feel so sorry for him. I guess he's absolutely gutted for not being able to help the team, to play football, to hear us singing his name... Time is passing but he's not winning les, though he deserves plenty of them. Well, be strong, prepare for next season, I wish you all the best, captain fantastic."
"ALL boils down to playing to many games a season especially for England,to many times the lad has put his body and fitness on the line to get the results we needed for (club and country)"
"Well.. realistically we haven't got anything to aim for now anyway. All I can say is Spearing and the rest of midfield better step up because they were all poor last weekend.
Better to have a fit Stevie for next season when we might actually have a good chance of winning something! "
"Forget about this season, let's just make the best out of it. Get well soon, Stevie lad and once you're fit we'll get ready for hopefully a great next season! "
"wat a blow... i just hope lucas an spearing step up. this is why we def need a good cmf player next year to try an replace stevie cause hes gettin that age,the players we have r good squad players but thats it, we need some quality first team players in the summer if we are 2 get back in 2 the c.league. "
"Fu---ng wonderfull what was he doing traing after having surgery 2 weeks prior i want to explode reading this,it could be his career over never mind rest of season,were only 12 points off bottom besides a miracle were going to drop 3pts monday,Hope you get better soon stevey regardless of what happens your the greatest liverpool player of all time YNWA"
"Reading some of these comments here makes me laugh i thought like that bfore always have faith every cloud has a silver lining and most of all NEXT YEAR IS OUR YEAR i saying that since 1991 support the players we have.The truth is our squad is out dated outplayed and overpayed and unless kenny gets rid of the crap squad he wont have a job this time next year"
"Get on your feet Reds, Stevie is our heart that's for true, but we have to keep on trying to be in best position with the rest of squad, no matter what...."
"Dont panic! lucas and meireles will be fine in the middle and we have plenty of others who can play there. Kriztian Adorjan from the u18s looks a star in the making why not give him a go? what have we to lose?"
"Stevie's suffering ALL this season with several injuries (probably his worst season). Also, he has, let's say, a couple of years till he'll end his career. So, WHAT'S THE POINT to pressing the lad???... This season's lost. We have some chances to be in the 5th place, but we can do it without hurting Stevie anymore."
"GET REAL "SuArE7" or anyone else!!! And start THINKING for a change! You DON'T "selling" your WARBANNERS - like Stevie or Carra (or Fowler, before)!!! Players like Stevie is like your country's flag!... RESPECT AND HONOR!"
