Steven Gerrard needs to stop falling over when his Liverpool team come under pressure!
When Liverpool need a result and things aren't going well, "Captain Marvel" Gerrard turns into Bambi on Ice whenever he gets near the oppositions penalty area.
His first attempt at conning the referee against Blackburn saw him reaching out a leg to make contact with Brad Friedel when he realised the 'keeper's slide was not going to result in him making contact.
How embarassing to see one of England's top players resorting to such tactics.
Near the end of the game he took another tumble, at least this time there was some sort of challenge in his vicinity. Samba dangled out a speculative right footed tackle, but again minimal contact, if there was any, sent Gerrard head first to the deck.
Gerrard pulled a similar stunt out of the bag when Sheffield United battled for a point so bravely against Liverpool on the opening day of last season. Its happened to often for it to be an exception, he needs to stop!

Very well said seve, if he was a foreign player he would be barrated by every pundit to ever set foot in a skysports studio yet when it's Gerrard, a potential England captain, they call it smart football and say he was unlucky not to get decisions.
There were bad refereeing decisions. there should have been atleast 3 penalties
I don't agree mate, I thought both were penalties.
Although his one against Sheff Utd last year was shocking.
he certainly took a running leap for the first one. david blunkett could see that.
the second incident was a definate penalty for me and would have been, had samba's almighty frame not blocked the referees view.
that is funny, il always remember when England were playing Jamaica and he did the most blatent dive and got a penalty despite being 5-up at the time!!
still, it seems to be an asset to a player now if they "dive well".
Scott.
