Gerrard The Troublemaker?

So it has been revealed that Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez had told England manager Steve McClaren that Steven Gerrard was in no condition to play any game, not to mention 2 critical games in a row. But he was fielded anyway in BOTH games.

And now he is struggling with Liverpool.

This was in total contrast to what he had said to the media during the international period - that Benitez was aware that he would play and had given his blessings.

So why the complaints now?

If he had any loyalty he should realise that it is the club that pays for his livelihood. Sure, he could always go to another club if he wasn't happy, but he would still face the same situation.

I am given to think that Benitez has brought the club as far as he could, but to blame it all on him for Liverpool's recent dreadful form might not be totally fair.

Afterall, it appears that Gerrard the prima donna is back.
