Steven Gerrard has sounded the rallying cry after another impressive Liverpool performance, and insists the Reds can continue their march all the way to a Champions League spot this season.
The Merseyside giants have not tasted elite European football for two seasons, and with Brendan Rodgers’ men currently lying in seventh place, nine points adrift of fourth-placed Tottenham, another year in the Champions League wilderness looks likely.
However, after the Reds narrowly missed out on impressive wins against Arsenal in midweek and at Manchester City last night, Liverpool skipper Gerrard insists his side can still make a late push for the top four.
‘No disrespect to the sides we’ve got coming up but if we keep playing like that then we can certainly put in a challenge for fourth place,’ Gerrard said.
‘If we perform like that we will pick up a lot of points between now and the end of the season.’
The midfielder, 32, who was crowned England’s player of 2012, added: ‘We can take a lot of belief from the way we’ve performed against Arsenal and Manchester City.
‘It was similar to the Arsenal game in that I felt we did enough to come away with the three points.
‘City are a good side and to go away to the champions and get a point is a good result, but after the way we played we’re disappointed not to get the win.
‘We need to build on this and I’m feeling really confident about our ability to move up the table.
‘We might not have got the results we wanted against the top sides but every time we have certainly matched them if not bettered them in games.
‘We just need to try to cut out our mistakes and turn those draws into wins.’
