So the farewell tour will fizzle out rather than end with a bang. Steven Gerrard hoped his Liverpool career would end at Wembley but now the curtain will fall in Stoke.
The dream was for Gerrard to end his 25-year association with Liverpool by lifting the FA Cup on his 35th birthday before starting his new adventure with LA Galaxy yet now the prospect is nothing like so glamorous. Losing to Aston Villa in Sunday’s semi-final will take time to get over.
‘We didn’t play, we looked very nervous,’ said Gerrard on talkSPORT. ‘We’re a team built on passing and playing it quickly but we were very disappointing in that aspect. They (Villa) were much better.’
Liverpool’s next two games are away at West Brom (on Saturday) and Hull (next Tuesday) before returning to Anfield to play Queens Park Rangers.
With the injured Lucas Leiva facing two weeks out, it is inconceivable to think Gerrard will not start.
On May 10 comes a trip to Stamford Bridge where it is possible that Liverpool will have to form a guard of honour to welcome Chelsea, the champions-in-waiting. Source: dailymail.com
