10 years ago today, Steven Gerrard scored the famous goal against Olympiakos to send Liverpool trough to the knockout stages of the Champions League in the 2014/15 season, which eventually lead to triumph in Instanbul to hand The Reds their 5th European Cup.
On the back of unimpressive goalless draw against Sunderland on Saturday, Liverpool go into tomorrow's crunch tie in the final round of the Champions League group stages needing nothing less than a victory against Swiss champions, FC Basel.
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has come under a lot of scrutiny after a poor start to the season. Rodgers also has been heavily criticized for selection of his captain.
Gerrard was a key figure in Liverpool's title chase last season providing a creative spark and shielding the defence in a 'holding midfielder' role. However, Gerrard's defensive qualities have been put into question this season which has lead to him playing in a more advanced role and a more direct threat.
The change of position for the captain has been much welcomed by the Liverpool fans and were delighted midweek when he scored against Leicester in a 3-1 victory.
With Gerrard back where he belongs,, Come Tuesday night at Anfield could 'Captain Fantastic' roll back the years and make the difference once again to bring back the glory days at Anfield.
