Brendan Rodgers: Steven Gerrard is "irreplaceable"

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers admits that Steven Gerrard is "irreplaceable" as the club captain draws ever closer to the end of his career in England.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has admitted that it will be impossible to replace Steven Gerrard when he leaves the club at the end of the season.

The 34-year-old scored the equaliser in his side's 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge this afternoon, adding to the late winner that he notched against Queens Park Rangers last weekend.

Gerrard was given a standing ovation by the Chelsea fans when he was subbed off at the Bridge, and Rodgers acknowledged that it would be tough to find an answer for his departure.

"He's taken a lot of stick here, but I think the Chelsea supporters knew deep down it's only because he's a superstar player. They showed great appreciation for him," the Liverpool boss told reporters.

"I thought he was excellent. The last couple of games he's got the winner and he's got the equaliser.

"He's a player that makes the big contributions when needed. I've said before he's irreplaceable but we need to find the solutions, one way or the other."

Gerrard's goal was his 119th league strike for the club, taking him second on the all-time list behind only Robbie Fowler.

His final home match as a Liverpool player comes against Crystal Palace next weekend, before he ends his career in England away to Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium on May 24.
