Gerrard slipped and was unable to recover as Demba Ba raced clear and slotted past Simon Mignolet for the opening goal.
Willian added a second late on as the defeat saw Liverpool fall behind eventual league winners Manchester City with just two games to play.
Despite the focus on Gerrard in the aftermath, Neville felt that Mignolet should have done more to stop Ba when one-on-one and even suggested current Liverpool No 1 Alisson would have saved his effort.
'I've not said this before because at the time, it was such a deep wound for Liverpool fans and Steven Gerrard personally,' Neville said on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football.
'I thought the keeper should have done better. I've never said it before.
'If that was a moment later on this season, I think Alisson would save it. I think eight times out of ten, he would save it.
'I think it's a scuffed shot from Demba Ba, I don't think he looks confident. It goes in and nobody ever blamed Mignolet for that goal.
'I don't think you can blame him, I don't think you can say he was at fault but Alisson would have saved it.'
