WE DON'T LET THIS SLIP

STEVEN GERRARD'S UNLUCKY SLIP AS LIVERPOOL LOSE TO CHELSEA IS A FREE-KICK FOR CRUEL WEB JOKERS AS GAGS AT HERO'S EXPENSE GO VIRAL

England captain and leader of Liverpool Steven Gerrard, one of the greatest players ever to grace the English Premier League   have been the subject of internet prank and joke from cruel pranksters after his  unfortunate slip gifted Demba Ba to get the opening goal for Chelsea at Anfield.

In an extensive series of spoofs, gags, tweets and photo trickery, the mishap in first-half injury time during Liverpool's 2-0 loss to Jose Mourinho's Blues that has blown the title race wide open has made the 33-year-old hero the butt of the jokes.

Gerrard's boots have been depicted as banana skins while in other memes he's been given a Chelsea strip and superimposed on US rapper Eminem's body.

The England captain's impassioned speech a fortnight ago after his side their win over other title rivals Man City has also been seized upon, especially the line 'We don't let this slip’.
