Steven Gerrard: Four wins will get Liverpool FC back on track

20 September 2010 07:00
Steven Gerrard today insisted a four-match winning spree would provide Liverpool with the perfect antidote to their Old Trafford heartbreak. The Reds suffered the second Premier League defeat of the Roy Hodgson era as they slipped to a 3-2 defeat against a Dimitar Berbatov-inspired Manchester United.

But Roy Hodgson's men have two Premier League games, a Europa League match and a Carling Cup tie in the next 13 days and the captain wants to see Liverpool pass every assignment. 'What's done is done and all we need to talk about now in the next few days is the games we have got coming up,' said Gerrard.

'We've got a League Cup game against Northampton and that competition is very important to us before we play Sunderland next Nobody will be sulking because we want to make sure that we go into the next international break next month having won all our games.'

There was a sense of 'what if' amongst Liverpool's players and supporters as they reflected on yesterday's scoreline, given the astonishing turnaround in the second period. After trailing 2-0, Gerrard scored a penalty and a free-kick to help his side restore parity but he was left demoralised by the sloppy manner of Berbatov's crucial hat-trick goal.

'It is a question of learning from mistakes,' added Gerrard. 'It's not important who holds their hands up. 'We have got to defend better as United and (Manchester) City have both scored three against us.'
