I love both players and admire how much they have given the club,the reason why I asked the question was certain managers know when the time is right for a player to be moved on for the good of the team and club and no one was better at this than bill shankley.
It would mean letting fresh blood take to the stage and giving them the chance to shine without the shadow of senior players with strong personalities.
Or you can look at the other side of the coin and say that the manager is not getting the best out of two fantastic players and usually when this happens it is the manager who exits.
Neither player are bigger than the club that much is for sure and Liverpool football club will continue it's existance long after they have retired and Rafa to, much to the disbelief of some.
Gerrard is still a world class players and has at least two seasons in him to show that, under the guidance of a man-manager who is able to inspire and motivate his players, then who knows what we may achieve. You can have all the money in the world, a 70,000 stadium packed out every week, full of world class players in your side. But if your manager is incapable of gelling that team, inspiring and motivating his players its worth feck all.... Just look at R.Madrid last night.
