Steven Gerrard says Liverpool have greater belief than
ever before this season – but insists they will not get carried
away with their success so far.
After beating Manchester United and Chelsea and moving three
points clear at the top, Liverpool are now being treated as very
serious contenders for the title this season.
But Gerrard says that teams will always invest extra effort to
beat the league leaders and knows they cannot afford to lose
focus.
“It is a great feeling to be top of the table, especially
knowing that we have beaten two of our main title rivals along the
way,” he said.
“This season, we have a belief that we can go anywhere and
win.
“We believe that we can win in any situation, even when we have
backed ourselves into a corner, but no one here is going to be
getting carried away with our position after recent results.
“There is extra pressure being top of the table – we are there
to be shot at and we become an even bigger scalp for the rest of
the league.”
