Stephen Gerrard Will End Career In Liverpool

[Folami David]

Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher believes Reds captain Steven Gerrard will end his career at Anfield.
.
Gerrard, 32, underlined his enduring value to Liverpool with a dominant display capped by the winning penalty in his side's 2-1 victory at Aston Villa on Sunday.
.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has confirmed he will hold talks with Gerrard over a new contract and is convinced the England skipper can play at a high level for several more years.
.
Carragher, who will retire at the end of this season, agrees with Rodgers' assessment and he expects his close friend to see out his career on Merseyside.
.
"I'm sure Stevie will sign a contract and finish his career at Liverpool the way I've done," Carragher said.
.
"There is no doubt about that. I'm sure he'll sit down and sort it out in the next couple of months.
.
"Steve will be finishing his career at Liverpool. He is 'captain fantastic' every week.
.
"It's not just against Villa. He's been doing it for years, scoring at one end, saving at the other."
.
While Gerrard remains Liverpool's key figure in midfield, Carragher acknowledges Uruguay forward Luis Suarez has emerged as their most influential attacker.
.
Suarez shrugged off the tiredness from his World Cup qualifier exertions with Uruguay to produce another dynamic performance at Villa and earned the spot-kick that led to Gerrard's winner.
.
"Every side has a couple of players in the side you hope can turn things for you and Luis does it on a weekly basis," Carragher said.
.
"I've played with a lot of top players here and I've always said Stevie was the best player I've played with.
.
"But Luis is definitely on his shoulder, he is very close.
.
"He put in another top performance and shows why he deserves to be PFA player of the year."
