Steven Gerrard's reaction said it all.

The Liverpool legend joined Glenn Hoddle and Frank Lampard in the BT Sport studio on Sunday afternoon to preview the Community Shield, as well as the upcoming Premier League season. Prior to Chelsea vs. Arsenal at Wembley, all three former England internationals were asked to predict how the campaign will play out. There were the expected shows of bias, with Lampard picking former side Chelsea to retain the trophy and Gerrard reckoning Liverpool would be the Blues' closest competitors in the title race. https://twitter.com/btsportfootball/status/894180463727738880 But as the predictions went further afield, Hoddle announced that he was so impressed with Everton's summer spending that he could see the Toffees making the top six come next May. Hoddle suggested that Everton, having undergone a serious personnel transformation over the past few weeks, might surprise a few fans. https://twitter.com/LaurenceD89/status/894173090502115328 It won't shock you to learn that Gerrard disagreed. Having joined Liverpool's academy at the age of 9, an anti-Everton sentiment likely courses through the former captain's veins and he was in disbelief at Hoddle's suggestion. Several supporters picked up on Gerrard's subtle shake of the head and vacant stare as he made his disagreement clear for all to see on live television. https://twitter.com/robla73/status/894173467104464896 https://twitter.com/Grahamgriff1/status/894172665342251008 https://twitter.com/mattylad_92/status/894172389755555840 https://twitter.com/DerKopite/status/894172027334123520
