Liverpool skipper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Steven-Gerrard-c34196, acknowledged his side’s dismal start to the season, and insisted that no excuses could be made for their defeat against Manchester United on Sunday.
The Merseyside outfit once again failed to break their EPL duck this term, falling 2-1 to the Red Devils at Anfield.
Despite having dominated the proceedings, the men in red were denied late on by a http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380 goal which came from a penalty kick.
The result meant that Brendan Rodgers’ team have now managed just two points out of their first 5 league games – the Merseyside club’s worst start to a season in more 100 years.
On the other hand, a win for United lifted them to the second place in the current league standings, just a point adrift of leaders, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786.
The Reds talismanic midfielder, who netted his side’s lone goal during the game, was thoroughly disappointed with the result.
He confessed that everyone expected of them to emerge victorious at least from their home matches, and that no excuses could be made to justify their pitiful start to the campaign.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 have already suffered three losses so far, which include two at Anfield.
“We are not going to use any excuses, we know how many points we've got on the board and it's not good enough,” he told the reporters in an interview.
“A club like Liverpool, especially at home, should be looking to take maximum points off those sides, it doesn't matter how good they are.”
Nonetheless, the English International refused to be downbeat following their defeat, and was more inclined towards dwelling on the positives.
He opined that Brendan Rodgers playing philosophy had started to seep into their games, and it was only a matter of time before they go on a winning spree.
“It is no time to panic. The fans can see what the manager is trying to do and they can see what the players are trying to do because they are educated supporters. Not many sides will be able to live with us because we played some good stuff yesterday,”
he added.
Liverpool will next play West Bromwich Albion in a League Cup match on Wednesday.
