We will be nobodies if we fail to win the Premier League” – Gerrard
By Kusoro Jeremiah
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard, has sounded out a warning to his team-mates, that if they fail to deliver the Premier League title, their 10-match winning streak will mean nothing.
The Reds are hot favourites to win the league, after their thrilling 3-2 win over fellow contenders Manchester City on Sunday, but Gerrard is not getting carried away and says “nobody will remember us” if they bottle it up. “Every game is getting bigger,” Gerrard said.
“Manchester City was always going to be huge because they are in the race with us but Norwich now become Manchester City.
“Norwich become Chelsea. Norwich become Manchester United. That’s how big it is. We have to treat Norwich City like we treated AC Milan in 2005 (in the Champions League final).
“We can’t think about what colour shirts Norwich are wearing and the personnel in them.
“We have to treat them like the best team in the world. Ten wins in the Premier League is remarkable but you get nothing for it.
“You get a pat on the back. We’ve all had them (pats on the back) but they come and go.
“What is key as a footballer is getting something to show for all the hard work. We have been on a magnificent run.
“We could win 13 on the spin but lose the last one and we get nothing. “Nobody will remember it. The only way people will remember it is if we go on and win it.
“We have got to forget where we are and forget what we have done. We have just got to focus and prepare for Norwich.
“We have to treat it like it is the last game of all our careers. That is the mentality.” He submitted.
