    Liverpool have today had their worst fears confirmed with the news that skipper Steven Gerrard will be out of action for two months.
    The Reds midfielder had an X-Ray this morning on the foot injury he sustained during last night's defeat at Old Trafford and unfortunately the results have confirmed the initial diagnosis of the Liverpool medical team.

    Gerrard has suffered a fracture of the fifth metatarsal in his left foot and will be out of action for eight weeks.

    Gerrard will miss a number of crucial Premiership and Champions League games for the Reds and the World Cup qualifiers against Wales and Azerbaijan for England.

    Its bad news not the end of the world! Alonso and Hamman will fill the gap.

    Of course if either of them is kaput then we're in sh1te!

    I actually forgot all about Biscan in my depressed state today. I've been kinda curious to see hiim get a run out for a few games to see if his pre-season form amounts to anything (never thought I'd see the day when I wanted Biscan to play :p).

    We might just scrape through this :(

    Liverpool will really miss Gerrard. he's been their best player so far this season by a decent margin. Also, in the games (albeit limited) I saw him play in he and Alonso had started to link up together reasonably well.

    I'm not sure ye'll miss him as much as people think. Sometimes other players step up when a player drops out of the team. One big example is the extra influence Keano exerted on Utd when Ince was sold. Alonso came into his own after Gerrard went off the other night - I think he thrived on being the general once Steve was gone off. Another thing I've said about Gerrard many times over is that I've yet to see him grab a big game by the b*llox. I think he goes missing in those games - as was seen by his dismal performance against Utd in the half hour he was there. Alonso I think can vary the play a lot more than Gerrard - I feel he goes for the spectacular long passes too often - when they come off they're great, but it's more effective to use the ball intelligently, going for the long passes only occasionally.

    Seen an interview on another site that he says he expects it to be eight weeks and less if he can help it! He's still going to attend as many games as he can to give the others encouragement. Hopefully he'll be a quick healer.
