GERRARD: THE LEAGUE'S NOT OVER FOR US
Paul Eaton 25 October 2006
Steven Gerrard has warned Liverpool's critics that the Reds
are far from out of this season's title race.
The Liverpool skipper, who will be rested for tonight's Carling Cup
clash with Reading, admits the players were left devastated after
Sunday's defeat at Old Trafford, but he believes it's far too soon to
be writing the club off as a spent force in this season's Premiership battle.
He said: "We haven't made the start to the season that we hoped we'd
make, but we're more than capable of going on a run of 10 games or
more without defeat and that would put us right in the mix along with
the title contenders.
"Both United and Chelsea have difficult games coming up but we have
to sort out our own form and get ourselves in a position to take
advantage of any slips that anyone else makes. And they will slip up.
"People have said the league's over for us, but we've been to Old
Trafford and we've been to Stamford Bridge and we've still got them
to come to us. Nothing's over yet.
"Sunday's result at Old Trafford wasn't what we wanted, but in
October, and with the talent we have in the dressing room, we can't
be counted out of anything."
