Liverpool boss hails ‘peerless’ Gerrard
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers paid tribute to Steven Gerrard after the midfielder’s last-minute penalty gave the Reds a dramatic 3-2 victory at Fulham.
The Whites led twice but stayed bottom of the Premier League after Gerrard fired home from the spot following Sascha Riether’s foul on Daniel Sturridge.
And Rodgers declared: “Steven Gerrard is peerless in situations like that. He showed brilliant composure. It was a great result. We’ve had to show character to come from behind twice – a brilliant victory.
“We raised the intensity and aggression at half-time. We’re disappointed with the second goal we gave away but this team has shown great characteristics mentally.
“We conceded two goals – that has been unlike us for a while. We need to eradicate the individual errors. Thankfully we have goals in the team.”

Kolo is the big problem in defense, he needs to be dropped. Agger coming on was a beautiful sight.

Gerrard is without a doubt one of the best four or five players ever to wear Liverpool’s colours. If Allen even dreamed he could do what Stevie does he would wake up and apologise.
