Gerrard refusing to panic, despite Liverpool’s woeful start
Steven
Gerrard insists there is no panic at Liverpool.
The Reds
opened their campaign with a 3-0 loss at West Bromwich Albion, but picked
themselves up the following week to secure a 2-2 home draw with champions
Manchester City. However, any optimism that welcomed that point was crushed
just six days later, when Arsenal left Anfield on the back of a comfortable 2-0
win.
So Liverpool
enter the international break with just one point from their opening three
fixtures and, whilst it is still very early days, none of their fans will be
happy to see them third-bottom of the Premier League table. Statistics show
this is the worst start to a season they have made since 1962-63, but Gerrard
is refusing to press the panic button.

It’s certainly
been a difficult start to life on Merseyside for Brendan Rodgers, who replaced
Kenny Dalglish as manager during the summer. The Northern Irishman could hardly
hide his disappointment when, having seen the transfer window shut, his board
had failed to deliver a replacement striker for Andy Carroll, who had been
loaned to West Ham United.
This leaves
the Reds manager with just Luis Suarez and Fabio Borini as established strikers
in his first team squad, and he has now revealed that this could lead to him
giving a chance to teenage Spaniard Suso, who has been at the club since Rafael
Benitez lured him from Cadiz in 2010.
