Stevie G is quietly optimistic
Steven Gerrard is confident Liverpool can still end the season on a high. The Reds have started to slowly turn their dismal campaign around in recent weeks after a nightmare start which saw them crash out of the Champions League, the EPL race and both domestic cups. Now the Anfield skipper is convinced the club can lift the Europa League trophy and clinch that coveted top-four slot - if they have the nerve. "We have to be realistic. We know the season up to now has been very frustrating," admitted Gerrard on Saturday. "In an ideal situation, we'd still be in the Champions League and the title race. That's gone now, so we have to reassess and go for different targets. The target now is to try and win the Europa League and finish fourth."
