Gerrard is a top player. No-one's saying he's a bad player just not a top top player.
And as for Henderson? Holy over-reaction. Ferguson should apologise? LOL. For what? A reaction of Keegan proportions.

It's not like Rodgers called a press conference to discuss this. He was asked about these things. The options are
1. No comment - Which would certainly then prompt the press to imply that he was either agreeing, or shaken by it
2. Saying what's on all of our minds: That Ferguson is just a trolling old drunk turd and his bile on paper has no more worth than it is when he spouts it verbally.
3. Doing what he did, which is addressing these things properly.
I'm almost certain that if Rodgers had chosen option #1, you (and many a Manc fan on other forums) would be here going on about how Ferguson must be right, because Rodgers refused to comment on it. I'm certain if he did #2, you would get the exact same reaction from MUFC fans as in the wake of the famous "facts" talk by Rafa (which, unlike what Mr. Ferguson said in his book, was actually accurate). Rodgers handled it well.
Also, who said anything about Scholes and Keane (even though I don't agree with you on that either)? Ferguson was saying that Carrick is as good or better. Nobody outside of MUFC fans and those who really don't like Liverpool would agree. Seeing as how Ferguson fits into both categories...
