Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has been in a contemplating mood after the conclusion of the 2007-2008 Premiership season in which Liverpool again failed to constructively challenge for the title.
Speaking to Liverpoolfc.tv, the England international embarked on a number of issues, most notably on why the Reds failed to sustain their Premiership title bid throughout the season. Steven Gerrard of course is proud to have done as much as they did this season but rues the fact that they couldnât do more.
Steve Gerrard said that he is very much proud of the performance of his teammates this season:
âI went on record a couple of weeks ago and said that I have to be proud of my team-mates even though we fell away in the title race.
âWe can be really proud of reaching the last four in the Champions League â another great run in Europe â and getting a top four finish in a really tough league. But there is still some improvement needed.â
When asked about the precise reason why Liverpool failed to live upto the expectations in the domestic front, Gerrard gave a very frank and instant reply:
âYes, silly results against teams we should be beating. Look at Reading away, where we were beaten 3-1.
âThere were a couple of silly draws at home against sides you need to perform perfectly against and take maximum points from. You can get involved in the title race and even win it without beating the top three home and away.
âYou don't have to take maximum points from them if you perform perfectly against the others, but we haven't done that. We've dropped stupid points.
âWe know we are capable of going on consistent runs and beating anyone. We started off that way, expectations were high and players were making the right noises.
âWe thought this year we were going to be a lot closer, so now we need to learn from our mistakes â as we keep saying.â
Steven Gerrard also had some good things to remark on Liverpoolâs player of the season Fernando Torres, who was arguably the best striker in the Premiership in the 2007-2008 season. Gerrard said:
âI enjoy playing with him, it's great to have him here and he's been Player of the Year hands down. Hopefully he can take this into next season.â
