What's that got to do with anything? Who cares where he's from,that doesn't make him a better player than Keane. Do you remember Keane against Juve in '99,sad to say it but that's one of the best performances I've ever seen from an individual. Say what you like about Gerrard in Istanbul,he was superb,but Keane against Juve was the best example of a driving central midfielder.Gerrard hasn't reached the level of dominance that Keane had in his pomp,that level of consistency dominating a midfield. Perhaps he needs better players around him to do that,something Rafa is working on. Keane commanded respect through words as well as actions,I would say that,in our team,Carra is the man who commands respect through words,Gerrard through actions.
