Really?
Steven Gerrard has spoken about an injury he suffered in a League Cup tie last season that left him with a lacerated Willie.
The Liverpool legend revealed that he sustained the cut during the fifth-round match with Bournemouth at Dean Court but played on until then-manager Brendan Rodgers substituted him in the 90th minute.
"It was a laceration of the Willie. A big, big laceration," the Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder told The Clare Balding Show. "I went in for a slide-tackle 50-50 to stop a cross, actually got there for once, and he block-tackled the follow-through right up into the private area.
"There was an extreme sting and I knew the game was on TV so I had to have a sly peek, and it didn't look great. So I troddled over to Brendan and the physio and gave the physio a sly peek. He went 'oooh' and said to me 'carry on'. It was a cup game and it was really tight, so I had to go back out there and just grin and bear it. Then I got it stitched up after the game."
Asked if he had sustained any long-term damage, Gerrard replied: "It's fine now. All recovered, all sorted."
I see the bum is trying to take his people with him to Milan. Good riddance. Hope he takes this Vinai loser next.
Also thoughts @Toby Andrl ? Can't imagine it since he's barely even been in the job at your place, but since you guys did get relegated it might be possible
How good can dear old Shad be? We've looked anything but athletic too many times this seasonI see the bum is trying to take his people with him to Milan. Good riddance. Hope he takes this Vinai loser next.

Heard/read that Edu is pretty safe as he's apparently agreed to join Arsenal. But contrary to him wanting to stay until the Copa America is done, this source says Arsenal didn't/don't want to buy him out of his contract with the Brazilian FA, so the club just waits until after the tournament. As far as I can tell, the evaluation of Edu in that context wasn't very high, either, using a word that describes him as "a nice guy supposed to represent and shake hands without much operative influence" - at least currently.
Also goes on to say that contrary to reports like Edu having basically worked two jobs and given Arsenal targets, this hasn't happened and the club is still lacking direction and staff personnel above the manager, e.g. a Sporting/Technical Director to really get things going.
Goes on to talk about financial problems and I suppose it's that wage cap thing, which has along the lack of clear direction by the leadership hampered recruitment all season long.
Take with a grain of salt, though.
A lot of high profile people Gazidis brought leaving the club, too. It just doesn't feel like we have a CEO at all, let alone two.
