Gerrard: Let’s move on and win Europa League

By Max Munton On · 26 Comments · In LFC News

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard says the club must leave their disappointing exit from the Champions League behind and go on and win the Europa League.

The Reds’ elimination from the European Cup was confirmed this evening when Fiorentina beat Lyon 1-0 in Italy, despite beating Debrecen in Budapest.

And now Liverpool will enter the Europa League, formally the UEFA Cup.

After the game this evening, Gerrard told Sky Sports, “Of course it’s disappointing, we played fantastically well tonight and despite getting three points we don’t progress.

“Hopefully now we’ll be in the Europa League so we’ll try to win that. The main prize has gone and to be playing in the Europa League is disappointing but we have to accept that, move on and try to win that competition.

“The only consolation in this is if we go on and win the secondary one.”

    Rome77, you seem to support benitez 100 percent. Were you the same with houlier near the end? When will enough be enough. our january and febuary killed us last season, and guess what the issue was, draws. why draws, two holding midfielders against the likes of wigan, stoke and so on. we have been found out this year, and here we are still playing the same system which has been proven to fail when torres or gerrard are out. I just want whats best for the club, and this is not what i want to see. the same goes for mourinho, that to me would be worse. If rafa switches up his style i will even be happy for the rest of the year.

    rafa should just go.each time this year we played we conceded stupid soft goals and wen that happens u see rafa sitting down jotting something in his note book meaning that he will tel the defenders to tighten up.but alas the next game we concede again in the same fashion and rafa sits down again writting something down.it means either he is telling them something or he is failing to deal with our defending.liverpool at the moment is a confused,demotivated team which is despeartly crying for a change in playing system,change in coach and owners.rafa pliz just resign cant u see u have failed.houlier was more succesful than u.he won 5 cups in one year.rafa has failed to win more than 3 cups in his 6 years at liverpool.
