Inspiring captain Steven Gerrard, 29-year-old, again insisted that his decorated career will be incomplete if it ends without a Premier League title.

Steven Gerrard told The Mirror: “I don’t think I’m a Liverpool legend. You can only call players legends when they’ve finished and you look back on their careers and they have been successful or a top player throughout.”

He continued: “A lot of people give the legendary status out too early for my liking. I don’t see myself as a legend I see the likes of Dalglish, Hansen and Rush as legends. They have been there and done it. Hopefully one day I can look back on what I’ve achieved and can say I’m a part of the legends at this club, but I certainly wouldn’t put myself in that bracket now.”

Liverpool haven’t won the Premier League since 1990 and season 2009-10 has been a disaster to date, on both the domestic and European fronts.

Gerrard said: “It’s frustrating to be where we are in the league now because this was meant to be the year where we were going to be right up there all the way through. It would mean everything to win it. It’s frustrating not to have it already and I’ve come close on a couple of occasions.

“I will continue to fight for the Premier League from now until I stop playing. Hopefully I can add it to my collection because it would round a fantastic career off. It would be extra special if I could do it as captain in the next couple of years. I’m not sure how long I’m going to be captain for – probably another two or three years. If not as captain, then hopefully I can still lift it as a Liverpool player.”

At 29, Gerrard knows all too well that time is very short. He continued: “I’ve been around for 11 years and I’m getting towards the 30 years of age mark now, so I’m running out of time. I want to make the most of the next four or five years. I’ve still got many more ambitions and dreams that I want to fulfil before I finish.”

Liverpool FC’s bad days are continues as Liverpool hit by possible double injury blow. Liverpool two biggest superstars Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres got injured while they were away for their International commitments.

For Rafa Benitez this weekend was a nightmare. First He has been alarmed when Gerrard was forced off at half-time of England’s World Cup qualifier in Ukraine due to his groin problem, and then Torres limped off after 55 minutes of Spain’s match in Armenia.

However, Steven Gerrard remains in contention to face Belarus after a scan on his groin injury quelled fears that the midfielder could be absent for up to two weeks at a crucial period for Liverpool, who play Sunderland on Saturday, Lyon in the Champions League three days later and then United.

But Rafael Benítez will remain on edge over Steven Gerrard’s fitness, especially after Fernando Torres and Dirk Kuyt also suffered injury scares on international duty.

To add to Benítez’s worries, Javier Mascherano, Emiliano Insúa and Lucas Leiva are due to return from internationals in South America only on Friday, less than 24 hours before the game at Sunderland.
