When we last checked in with Steven Gerrard, he was a mediocre-but-not-great MLS player, which is to say there was no way in hell the LA Galaxy were going to pay him gobs of money to stick around for another season. Whether the decision was mutual or on Stevie's side or the Galaxy's, Gerrard will be elsewhere after his contract ends in December.
Many will claim this is blasphemy. Many will throw rocks.
Nevertheless, there is a case to be made. MSN is not the most exciting offensive trio to watch in soccer right now.
Now take a second and a deep breath before closing the browser and lighting up your torches. Hell, I’ll say it: There has seldom been a team that more fun to watch than this season’s Liverpool squad since Ronaldinho said goodbye to Barcelona.
Sure, the genius who is Jurgen Klopp at the helm has a good deal to do with the success. But that attacking trio . . .
Liverpool and Manchester United were treated to a very special, very furry guest Monday at Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp is dope and good and cool, and he got even more dope and good and cool when he buried this blindfolded penalty.
You have to be on your toes at all times when you're around Jurgen Klopp. No wonder Liverpool are four for four on penalties this season.
Liverpool has followed the examples of Tottenham and Southampton by enforcing a wage cap of £40,000-per-year on 17-year-old youth professionals according to a report by the Telegraph.
The policy aims to combat the "too much, too young" culture in the Premier League that has seen financial incentives for youth products rise to ridiculous proportions.
