Steven Gerrard: Humility is key to Liverpool title bid
by Tony Barrett, Liverpool Echo
STEVEN Gerrard admits Liverpool's fine start to the season has raised hopes of a first league championship since 1990.
The Reds lie second in the Premier League, level on points with leaders Chelsea and eight points ahead of Manchester United, having played a game more.
Gerrard - who misses England's friendly in Germany tonight with a leg injury - knows there is a long way to go before the destination of the silverware will be determined.
"It's nice but it raises expectations," he said, when asked about talk of Liverpool being genuine title contenders.
"It's important to stay humble. We know we're a good team, we know we're getting closer to a title challenge - we can say that. But we've got to prove we can stay in the race to the end.
"I can understand why people are saying it. We've gone down a couple of times by goals, we haven't given up and we've managed to turn games around.
"So now they're saying we've got title credentials.
"It's Liverpool Football Club. Every single game we play there is pressure to win. I've lived with it since I broke into the first team, but even more so now because the wait is getting longer."
