Steven gerrard and unfair criticism... - Don't talk to me about fickle.

So if we our led to believe Gerrard is actually the receiver of  regular pain injections before each game ,seriously   ??? lets put things straight before this rumour builds up any real pace with the more susceptible amongst us ,firstly no club would administer injections  to the extent that some are suggesting if they knew they would be in serious danger of seriously hampering a players long term career ,it just would not be ethical regardless of the players insistence that they take such  drastic measures ,such actions would be highly negligent in the extreme and have serious repercussions

Secondly and for me the one that rings true ,do posters honestly think that Gerrard knowing even with the boost that these injections give to his troublesome groin ,he would actually take to the field knowing he would be unable to compete fully in the capacity he is used to ,sorry Gerrard is at the highest level a competitor of the highest degree ,anything less than knowing he could not play a game at 100% commitment would not suffice ....

Thirdly and from his own perspective do people truly believe he would knowingly put his own career in such peril by taking these injections in such  frightening  quantities ,not a chance Stevie would simply never put at risk his health regardless of aiding  Liverpool's now futile fight for European qualification,its just  pure conjecture and speculation unless that is a poster wants to provide the relevant proof of such revelations   ??? because if they do proffer some shred of evidence identifying such questionable practices then I will endeavour to stifle my Laughter just long enough to issue an apology :D

Steven Gerrard was today definitely ruled out of England's World Cup squad. Gerrard visited a specialist yesterday and scans have since confirmed the need for surgery on his groin injury. He will undergo the surgery later this week.

Gerrard said on Liverpool's official website, www.liverpoolfc.tv: "The rehabilitation period for this sort of operation is six weeks, so obviously I'm going to miss the World Cup which is a massive disappointment.

"However, I need to get myself right as I wouldn't have been able to do myself or the team justice.

"In the short term it's a big blow, but I'm confident this surgery means I'll be involved in other major tournaments for the national side in the future.

"I want to send all the England lads my best wishes for the tournament and let them know I'll be cheering them on from home.

"My priority now has to be to get myself fit for the start of next season with Liverpool."

To inject or not to inject? Steven Gerrard will know the story of Tommy Smith, another Liverpool midfielder who, in a less cautious era, had so many injections in his knee that he needed operations – paid for by the Professional Footballers' Association – when he finished playing. In fact, his plight became the rallying call for the PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor when his union threatened strike action six years ago over their share of television revenue. Smith's knees were symbolic, in a surreal sort of way, of how a player can give up his long-term health for the short-term good of his team

Dr Panther said "anecdotal, apocryphal stories" of cortisone ruining careers were history. "It's safe in small doses, which is how it is given these days. Large doses over a long period, especially in the same area, may have led to softening of cartilage and bone and chronic problems in the past.

Well i hope if he is still injured and having these injections (which i still dont think he is having anymore) then he shouldnt go to world cup and should use the summer to get himself fully fit

Maybe thats why he played so much better for England ? Maybe he is no longer taking injections before games for Liverpool and so has pain restricted movement, while for England he was given the injection and could move more freely.

I agree with the jist of the thread starter. A lot of posters have really gone at Stevie Gerrard this season, yet it seems to me that they are often the same posters who are willing to cut Benitez disproportionate amounts of slack/excuses for this disasterous season.
