3 Potential Gerrard Replacements For Liverpool (Featuring 2 Serie A Playmakers)

Share

Every Liverpool fan’s worst nightmare has finally come true, well at least for the fans who grew up from the 2000’s. Steven Gerrard played his last game in a Red jersey against Crystal Palace and although the team lost the game, it was academical. The more pressing concern for Liverpool would be a return to the Champions League and finding a player who can bring as much to the club as Gerrard has.

Gerrard

To be honest, replacing a player like Gerrard will not be easy, it in fact is impossible to replace Gerrard all Liverpool can actually do is try to get a player who can play Gerrard’s role in midfield and finding someone like that will not be easy. We look at 3 players who could come and do a job for Liverpool and hopefully reduce the impact of Gerrard’s absence.

James Milner

 

Before the eyebrows are raised and I get cursed, James Milner might not be a like for like player in Gerrard’s mould but he can provide a lot to a Liverpool side which needs players with experience. Milner has loads of experience of playing in the Premier League and is adept at playing as a defensive midfielder or a central midfielder, he can even play out in the wings but it is his ability to play in central midfield which makes him a leading candidate to play for Liverpool next season, plus he is available on a free.

Marek Hamsik

Hamsik

The 27-year-old Slovakian was at one point one of the best attacking midfielders in the world but it seems his career at Napoli has stagnated and he could be willing to move to another club at the end of this season. Hamsik was known for his attacking play and has scored 88 goals in 347 appearances for the club from Naples. Hamsik would be a brilliant replacement for a Gerrard role that we had seen in 2008-09 when he played behind Torres as a central attacking midfielder and who knows, the Slovakian could solve Liverpool’s goal scoring problems.

Miralem Pjanic

 

Miralem Pjanic has been one of the best performers for AS Roma in the past 3 seasons. The 25-year-old has mostly played as a playmaker and is known for his set-piece delivery and free-kick ability. The Serbian might have gone off the boil in this season, but that does not mean he is not a good enough replacement for the Liverpool legend. Pjanic might be a little slow in terms of speed, but that shouldn’t be a problem for him to adjust to the rigours and pace of the Premier League.
