Good for you lad, but I watched and listened to what Gerrard and Carragher both said when they talked about teams styles etc back in Rafa days, was quite interesting listening to them give their view!
it started in 2004 being pissed of with Houlier before Rafa arrived .
"the drama had started 12 months earlier when Gerrard, a childhood Liverpool fan from Huyton who idolised John Barnes and dreamt of being Steve McMahon, gave serious consideration to leaving the club after they had finished 30 points behind the champions, Arsenal, and showed no obvious signs of being able to overturn that deficit. According to the midfielder, Liverpool were "stagnating" under GƩrard Houllier while Chelsea had wealth, ambition and a new, proven leader in JosƩ Mourinho who "wanted me". As Gerrard admits, "temptation entered my life" as he contemplated letting head overrule heart in the pursuit of personal ambition."
Rafa persuaded him to stay and then they ignored him after Istanbul and it pissed him off so twice Chelsea came for him.
