Not only is he a hypocrite, but he's one of the players who plays the ugliest brand of football. His movement is so unorthodox and the way he strikes the ball is just so annoying. He has a strong blast and he basically just closes his eyes and smacks the ball when he can. When i see him on TV I am disgusted by his figure and his movement, and his style of football. The polar opposite to someone like Messi. There are big players who are graceful on the ball, but Gerrard is anything but. And they refer to him as Captain Fantastic and whatnot - perhaps if he weren't deified by the English media i wouldn't hate him as much. A real flop on the international stage too in my opinion.
