Gerrard Still Confident, Despite Rough Run of Luck….

Count Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard among those that still believe in the Red’s chances. He reiterated this week that Liverpool is still in very favorable position to claim the Premier League crown, even given his side’s rough go of it.

What was his basis for that claim? Arsenal, according to his thinking, can’t stand up to the pressure of leading. Gerrard is the long time captain of the Reds and he claims that his squad is just starting to hit their own high notes. Earlier this week, Gerrard and company destroyed Besiktas in Champions League play and seem to have found their swagger once again. As far as production goes, it would be hard to argue that Gerrard isn’t doing his part to help the Reds succeed.

He enters this weekend’s games having notched a goal in four of his last five. Like the rest of his side, the captain ran into a rough patch during the first part of the season. He seems to think that such a streak is all in the past now. In a comment to a British soccer magazine last week, Gerrard said, “Personally, I have played through my struggles and I have come out of the other side. Now I’m scoring goals and I’m feeling great.”
Gerrard insists that the Reds still have their eye on the prize and they haven’t given up hope on this season. According to him, they just have to continue to play their game and the rest of the pieces of the puzzle will fall into place.
