Carragher says Gerrard Liverpool greatest ever

Jamie Carragher believes Liverpool fans are seeing greatness in the form of skipper Steven Gerrard.

While Liverpool fans have worshipped the likes of Kenny Dalglish, John Barnes, Ian Rush, Alan Hansen, Kevin Keegan and Graeme Souness in the past, Carragher believes it is his skipper's knack for turning games on their head that puts him head and shoulders above the other Anfield greats.

"Stevie is just an unbelievable talent, we all know that," said Carragher. "We have seen him do things like he did last night time and again during his career.

"But he keeps on producing when it matters and, to me, that makes him the best player the club has ever had and the most influential player ever in the Premier League.

"You could see the crowd responded to him when he came on in the second half and he lifted everybody's performance. He was outstanding and we were able to get out of a tight spot.

"Thankfully we were able to get the win and now we have got to make sure we can keep this run going for as long as possible."
