STEVIE G REASSURES FANS

Gerrard: 'Trip was all about fitness'

Steven Gerrard insisted today that the trip abroad which culminated in a 5-0 drubbing for the reds should not be taken too seriously by the fans.

"The message is don't panic," declared Gerrard. "I know people are going to look at the score and be shocked, but you've got to look at the factors. We've been doing a lot of hard work all week, including some weight training before matches, which has taken a lot out of the lads.

"It's never a nice feeling to lose any game for Liverpool, but what happened at the end was understandable. This trip has been all about fitness and it's been a tough ten days, but it's going to be different when the competitive games start."
