There was no one more disillusioned than the captain Steven Gerrard after liverpool defeat to Fiorentina 2-0 tonite. And 29-year-old captain looking for huge improvement at Chelsea after ‘not turning up’ in Florence.

Liverpool is in real danger of not reaching the knock-out stages as the other team in their group, Lyons have won both their games.

Steven Gerrard accepted the criticism of Liverpool’s bad performance, He said: “We just didn’t turn up.” But he also attempted to be optimistic, claiming: “We will be fine if we win our home games.”

“We were disappointed to lose in Florence, we were second best all over the pitch and deserved to go in at the break losing. The reaction was better in the second half and we created some chances, but we just could not get into the game. We did not do what we usually do away from home in Europe.”

Gerrard continues: “We normally play at a high tempo and pass the ball really well, and play well on the counter-attack. But all over the pitch we just did not turn up. But this group is still wide open, there’s plenty of football to be played and we are now in the same position as Fiorentina with a win and a defeat, and they still have to face us at Anfield.”

Steven Gerrard seems very determined to win upcoming Champions League home games. He said: “If we win our next home game [against Lyons], things will be different. If we win our home games now that should be enough, we’ll be fine. But we need to get this defeat out of our system quickly, because we have a massive game now at Chelsea.”

“We need to produce a reaction from this defeat at Stamford Bridge, that has to be the aim now.”
