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

real spirit?Originally posted by anhydrouscoppersulphate:team spirit , confidence n sportsmanship. thats what soccer is about if some ppl have forgotten the values as they are obsessed with winning n betting
most people are so obsessed with their clubs that they end up disliking rival fans and teams.
real spirit is to accept what happens on the field, not off the field. -

Hope Arsenal met Juve in Final.
Henry sq off with Vieria. See who lift the cup. Will be a dream final for me.

Very unfair to say that Terry lacks that..
If you saw the game against Barcelona, Terry was the only one that was driving his team on after Lampard converted the penalty in the last min..Terry certainly has that fighting spirit and will to bounce back.. -
fighting spirit...1 name u cannot leave out.ROY KEANE

Im not shy of saying how much i dislike Mourinho. My feelings abt him are very straight forward. I don't like the guy. He is arrogant, unsportsmanlike, sore loser, whiner. There are REASONS why I don't like him.
I dont care how many of your posts talks bad abt LFC.
