DEJECTED GERRARD VOWS REDS WILL BOUNCE BACK
Paul Eaton 08 March 2006
Steven Gerrard has set his Liverpool team-mates the challenge of
overcoming their Champions League heartbreak to make sure they are
back in the competition next season.
The Reds' defence of their crown ended against Benfica on Wednesday
night as they failed to overturn a 1-0 first leg deficit and
crashed to a 2-0 defeat on the night, despite creating a host of
first half chances.
Gerrard admits their failure to score an early goal ultimately
proved costly, but he insists there's no time to dwell on the
disappointing defeat with a crucial league game to come at Arsenal
this weekend.
"The fans were superb tonight and got behind us - but when you are
1-0 down it is important to get a goal," he said.
"We created two or three chances in the first 20 minutes - and when
they don't go in and they score you start to worry.
"Good luck to them, but it is very frustrating. We never took our
chances - we could not put them away.
"It is a lack of confidence, and I think we need to work on it -
extra shooting sessions in training, I think.
"We need to pick ourselves up. The FA cup becomes even more
important now; we need a trophy.
"And of course we want to finish the league season strongly because
we want to be back in Europe again next year. That's the
aim."
maybe thats what terry lacks
