Is Xabi Alonso a Liverpool club legend?
Yes
No, didn't do enough
Gerrard made 710 appearances for the Merseyside club during his time at Anfield in which he scored 186 goals and provided 114 assists for the Reds (per Transfermarkt). Now that this image of Gerrard and Alonso has been doing the rounds on Twitter, this has given lots of Liverpool fans the opportunity to look back and reflect on the pair.
The midfield duo was world class……….alas the kit wasn’t
