 Goal smashing! November 20, 2008

Even if you're no fan of Liverpool and you like all the colours apart from Red, you can't ignore the fact that over the last 10 years, Steven Gerrard is one of the most powerful midfield players on the face of the planet, ever. This DVD just proves how devastatingly effective he can be.
Think of all the best strikers, Shearer, Owen, Rush, Van Nistleroy (?), that have graced the English Premiership and yes, they can all score amazing goals. But, they would be lucky to do 4 or 5 screamers in their career. Stevie G though smashes goals in from everywhere, any angle, direction, left foot, right foot, headers, free kicks, open play, time and time again. It's all here and when you see great goal after great goal, you realise how special this player really is.
An absolute must for any Liverpool fan and a fantastic watch for anyone who's not. If you think of any other player's 100 goals DVD as a great film, Gerrard's is like watching the footballing equivalent of The Matrix. You may not like the content but you can't deny it's non stop action all the way through.
It could be bettered though. I was hoping for more content about how Gerrard became the tour de force he is now, early footage, progression of his career, etc. Then, there's the near misses, the disallowed goals, comments from fellow professionals about what they think of his technique. Even the goals, many are shown from just one angle when you know there must have been 10 cameras there. The goals are great but the coverage could be more comprehensive. If ever they decide to release this on Blu-Ray, it'd be a great way to improve what's already a good product. Does it deserve a blu-ray release? Seeing as someone's got to completely obliterate goals, blitz fellow professionals in open play and put the ball in the back of the net 100 times, I think this will be the best 100 goals DVD for a very long time. Hence, if ever there's ever going to be a 100 goals Blu-ray disc, it's got to be this one.
