Dejected Gerrard tells Liverpool what to do as Rodgers backed for sack after Man Utd loss

Steven Gerrard left Liverpool in the summer to sign for LA Galaxy

LIVERPOOL legend Steven Gerrard believes Liverpool shouldn't panic but admits he is "dejected" after their loss to Manchester United.

 

Manager Brendan Rodgers has come under pressure as a result, with bookmakers backing him as the next Premier League boss to face the axe.

The United defeat compounded the misery following the shock home defeat to West Ham before that.

 

And an irate fan is even trying to raise £7million to pay up Rodgers' contract at Anfield.

However, Gerrard believes they just need more time and insists things will come good eventually.

“I’m still a bit dejected from the performance and the result, he told Radio City.

 

“It’s still a bit raw but you have to understand the bigger picture. 

"It’s still early on in the season, we’re on the back of two poor performances and results.

“But there’s still a lot of time to recover and with the fixtures we’ve got coming up hopefully we can take six points and start mending that damage.

“I was expecting a big reaction from the West Ham performance and it never came until the second half. When you play the big teams it’s too late. 

"You can’t afford afford to react in the second half.”
