My god, teachers pet is as delusional as those RAWK internet warriors, 'how good a team we are'.
Should Gerrard miss out, Jordan Henderson would captain the side. He accepts he must start taking more responsibility.
“We need to have even higher expectation levels on ourselves as individuals, and not look to any other players,” Henderson said. “We have to look around us at how good a team we are, and make sure every player lives up to those expectations now. We have to show we can put in the performances at the level the club demands.”
Liverpool are ranked 12-1 outsiders to win in Madrid. Never have the club’s chances of winning been considered so slim by bookmakers.
“We do sense that people have already written us off in this game - I think that’s obvious,” Henderson said. “Real Madrid are a top side with quality players and people think we’re going to come here and they’ll win the game easily.
“In a sense, the pressure is off us in a way. We do feel as though we can use this as an inspiration to go out and prove people wrong. That is what we have come here to do - to show we deserve to be in the Champions’ League against the best teams in the world.
“We’re Liverpool - we come here with high expectations, no matter what people think of our chances.”
Mr. Clever has such 'high expectations' he is considering playing the 'reserves'. This will not go down well in the US, with those that have bought into FSG, they will expect better for their investment.
