10 Things Steven Gerrard Wants Liverpool Fans To Forget

8. And Again When He Played Arsenal

Clearly enjoying laying on chances for Thierry Henry, Gerrard repeated the trick a few years later. With only a few games left in the season, and Liverpool desperate to beat Manchester United to second place and the automatic Champions League spot that comes with it, they rolled up at Anfield hoping to outmuscle an Arsenal side who were spluttering towards 4th. Having come from behind to level with less than 10 minutes to go, Liverpool were beginning to turn the screw as they chased what would surely be the winning goal, but in a crazy few minutes that also saw Xabi Alonso sent off for a second yellow card, they completely self-destructed. Having intercepted a dangerous looking Arsenal attack, Robbie Fowler laid the ball off to his captain who shimmied back a yard to find himself some space. Not seeing an obvious out for a counter-attack, he turned back towards his own goal and rolled the ball backwards where, to his horror, Thierry Henry was standing completely unmarked. "Off all people..." Andy Grey mused on commentary - obviously he hadn't watched the Euros two years prior. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJIi86iywqU
