Liverpool Video Compilation Shows Steven Gerrard Was The Master Of Tackling

A video compilation of Steven Gerrard's finest tackles in a Liverpool shirt has dropped on Twitter, and perfectly shows off the full-throttle nature of his game.

Meanwhile the video also includes a crunching challenge made on international duty with England, as he lunges into Tom Hogli in a Euro 2012 warm-up friendly with Norway.

There was also a tongue-in-cheek response, citing a famous anti-tackling quote from Paolo Maldini, before another used replied with a list of the Italian's defensive challenges.

Gerrard's tackling days are now long behind him though, as he continues to lead a revival in his new role as Aston Villa boss.

The former Rangers manager took the helm at Villa Park on 11th November, winning four and losing two of six games in charge to date - those defeats were against Manchester City and Liverpool.

Gerrard was due to be in the dugout again on Saturday, but Villa's match against Burnley was postponed at the last moment because of an increased number of Covid cases reported in the squad on the morning of the game.

Villa's next scheduled fixture is on Boxing Day at home to Chelsea.
