For what its worth Gerrard is a far superior player to Gattuso. Messi should be higher up as well.

Pure nonsense Farmer. As a Celtic fan Ive precious little time for Gattuso but by Christ hes a far better player than Gerrard. Hed never be forced to play up front in a CL final because they couldnt find anywhere else to play him for example.[/quote]

Gerrard has what few other players have - the ability to win a match with a flash of inspiration. Gattuso is a run of the mill player - there are plenty more like him

Gattuso has a big impact on the vast majority of matches he plays in. He can dictate the pace of a game, rarely has an off day and plays well even when his team is struggling. Donā€™t think Gerrard is in the same class as him. Even though he is a hun I know which player Iā€™d rather Celtic signed.

Plenty of players also have the ability to win a match with a flash of inspiration. Robbie Keane for one but nobody is screaming for his inclusion.

Gattuso has shored up a midfield that has won a World Cup and a Champions League in successive seasnons (along with a disputed Serie A in that period). Frankly Gerrardā€™s achievements donā€™t warrant comparison and from a non-English language journalist the two wouldnā€™t even be compared.

Lā€™Equipeā€™s World XI for 2007:

7 from the EPL in there. I think Gerrard is lucky to be included and Gallas and Evra seem to benefit from being French.

Gerrard my hoop. He shouldnt be anywhere near a worlds best 11. Messi should be on that team somewhere too.
