adminLONDON. — Steven Gerrard has urged Liverpool’s owners to dig deep this summer and provide the funds to allow Brendan Rodgers to replenish his squad and transform them into contenders again.
Liverpool saw their slim hopes of qualifying for the Champions League next season effectively ended despite Gerrard conjuring his first goal against Chelsea in 10 years and cancel out John Terry’s opener in a low-key 1-1 draw.
Manchester United are now six points clear of their rivals in fourth place and boast a far superior goal difference, with Liverpool destined for the Europa League. Gerrard delivered a parting shot to the Chelsea fans who briefly applauded him on his last appearance at Stamford Bridge before his summer move to LA Galaxy, but his most pertinent message was to the club’s hierarchy, Fenway Sports Group.
“It’s important the lads get some rest after these last couple of games and the owners dig deep and help Brendan and the lads out and try and make some additions,” said Gerrard, who led Liverpool in forming a guard of honour to the champions before kick-off.
“There is a great core of players here, with terrific potential, and the future is looking alright. But it is important that you try and compete with the giant clubs in the league because they are all going to spend big. — Daily Express.
