Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I te tīmatanga o te whakatūnga ki te wikitōria a Aston Villa i te Rātapu, i wero a Steven Gerrard mō ngā upoko whai muri i roto i te porohita pokapū, ā, ka ngaro rāua. Ehara i te mea ko ia te take o ngā mea i tupu i ngā hēkona e 20 i muri mai, engari he mea whakamārama tonu tēnei i te ahiahi roa, he pōhēhē mō Liverpool me tā rātau rangatira e heke haere ana. Ko te wā o Gerrard i Liverpool ka mutu inaianei i roto i te anti-climax. Ko te tūponotanga ka poroporoaki ia mā te raupapa o ngā whakaari poto, he maha o rātou hei whakakapi. I whakakahoretia a Steven Gerrard i te tūponotanga o tētahi mutunga harikoa i te wā i whiua ai a Aston Villa i a Liverpool i Wembley. Ko te urupare a te rangatira o Liverpool a Gerrard i a Tom Cleverley e whakanui ana i te wikitoria a Aston Villa i te Ratapu. E titiro pouri ana a Gerrard i tana mahi i Liverpool e whakatata ana ki te mutunga kino i Wembley. I te wā ka huri te whiringa toa o te FA Cup i te marama e whai ake nei, ka huri kē ōna whakaaro ki tētahi oranga hou i California. I kii tana kaiwhakahaere a Brendan Rodgers i muri i te hinganga o tana kapa kua tino pai a Gerrard. Heoi, ehara i te mea pono. He rawakore tonu a Gerrard, kaore i taea te huri i te tere o te mahinga a Liverpool ka kiia ko tetahi o nga mea tino pouri o nga karapu o nga tau kua hipa. Mēnā i tūmanako a Rodgers ki tētahi whakaaturanga mai i a Gerrard e hāngai ana ki te kōrero ā-romantic o tōna hokinga ki Wembley i tōna rā whānau, ka pouri ia. Kāore ngā mahi a Gerrard i hāngai ki te wā, engari ki tētahi kapa o Liverpool e whakaatu ana i te iti o te pūngao, te pūkenga, te rautaki rānei. Mo te mea whakamutunga, ko Rodgers tonu te kawenga o te he. I pouri a Gerrard i te pokapū, i rite tonu ki a ia i te wa katoa, engari me whakapae a Brendan Rodgers. He maha ngā tūranga rerekē i whakamahia ai a Gerrard e Rodgers (matau) puta noa i te whakataetae. Ki te kore he tohu mo te toru o nga tau e rere ana, kaore hoki e tika ana mo te Champions League, koinei te kaupapa e tika ana kia kiia he ngoikoretanga. Nō reira, ka anga atu a Rodgers ki te raumati i raro i te pēhanga āta piki ake i Anfield ki te whakaputa i tētahi mea tūturu i te wā e whai ake nei. He pono, Rodgers...
Ko te ngaronga o Wembley te tikanga ka mutu te mahi a Steven Gerrard i Liverpool i roto i te anti-climax. He rawakore tonu ia, kaore i taea te whakanui i nga mahi a ona hoa kapa. Ka mihi atu a Gerrard ki a ia mā tētahi raupapa o ngā putanga ātaahua. Engari, e toru tau kaore he tohu, ko Brendan Rodgers te tangata e whakapae ana.
