Frank Lampard is in a precarious position.

Super Frank missed the Three Lions' opening two qualifying fixtures for the 2012 UEFA European Football Championship recovering from a hernia procedure. England proceeded to display a swagger not seen since World Cup qualifying a year ago.

New captain Steven Gerrard flourished alongside Gareth Barry in the center of midfield.

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has issued a rally cry to his teammates after a humiliating midweek Carling Cup exit at the hands of Northampton. The shock defeat came after another disappointing result against Manchester United in the league, but Gerrard insists it's only a hump that his club needs to get over.

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard once again came to his side's rescue but it was referee Stuart Attwell at the centre of attention with an erratic display in Sunderland's 2-2 draw at Anfield.
The official, who awarded the infamous "ghost goal" in the Championship two years ago, allowed Dirk Kuyt's opening strike to count after ruling Michael Turner had taken a free-kick when he appeared to roll it back to goalkeeper Simon Mignolet.

Christian Poulsen today claimed a hectic September schedule is exactly what the new-look Liverpool need to show their best form.
The Reds midfielder is currently with compatriot Daniel Agger in Copenhagen preparing for next Tuesday European Championship qualifier against Iceland.
However, he already has one eye on what lies in store for Liverpool during the course of the next four weeks and cannot wait to get started.

Gerrard Backs Capello Ahead Of Euro 2012 Qualifiers

English captain Steven Gerrard has defended Fabio Capello ahead of England's first Euro qualifiers versus Bulgaria and Switzerland, calling the cries for his ousting "crazy."

"It's important Fabio is still given a chance.

Wayne Rooney has retained his starting spot in Fabio Capello's England eleven for today's match against Switzerland. The Manchester United striker has been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons this week, but his closest circle insists he'll be mentally prepared for today's Euro 2012 qualifier.

When John Terry was stripped of the England captain armband there was only one choice for the new captain, Steven Gerrard. Fabio Capello though had other ideas and chose Manchester United's Rio Ferdinand as his new man, with Liverpool's Steven Gerrard getting the vice captain role.
While Ferdinand is a quality player and leader, England have come on leaps and bounds with Gerrard's leadership on the pitch, something we think Ferdinand can't match.

Venue : Anfield, Liverpool

The Europa League fixture between Liverpool and Steaua Bucharest will be played at Anfield on Thursday 16th September 2010, kick-off is set for 8:05 PM.

Liverpool midfielder Joe Cole believes Reds captain Steven Gerrard deserves to add 'Premier League champion' to his list of achievements at Anfield.
The former Chelsea player joined the Reds this summer on a free transfer after constant speculation linking him with moves to Arsenal and Tottenham.

The devotion of the Liverpool faithful is stuff of legends. They've managed to create a whole "You'll Never Walk Alone" myth famous for creating a fantastic atmosphere with their singing and chanting, traveling near and far to support their team, building museums in their home to honor the club, occasionally get out of hand with their attempts to send the current (unpopular) ownership a message etc.

Dimitar Berbatovwas the difference between these two bitter rivals as he scored an awesome Hat-Trick which should silence his critics for a while, his second goal must be a contender for goal of the season. (See Below)

United's inability to hang on to a lead nearly cost them once more at Old Trafford after they threw away another two goal lead, with Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard grabbing a brace his first coming from the spot after Torres was fouled by Evans in the box, his second came from a free-kick which went through the United wall.

Doubtless that you are already aware, but Manchester United ran out as deceptively narrow winners over Liverpool in a rather enthralling game of football yesterday afternoon

You may also be privvy to the fact by now that Dimitar Berbatov finally shed two calendar years of resolute indifference in one (or three) foul swoop(s) by carding a sublime hat-trick and that despite hauling themselves back into the game rather fortuitously Liverpool really were quite impotent for the most part.

Having a poor form in the start of the EPL season, many people already lost hope on Liverpool's chances this season, however the team's captain Steven Gerrard has a different opinion and insist that it's too early to pass judgment on the Reds.

The England international stated that it would take more than just five games before people or fans can start panicking about the Anfield based club's future in the league.

While matters concerning a certain beach ball dominated the headlines last season when Liverpool and Sunderland met, the start of this seasons meetings yields a very different picture.

With protests planned at Anfield this afternoon in an effort to step up the process to remove owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett from the fold, the future of the club grabs more headlines than the team sheet does for once.

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard got away with yet another disgraceful assault today thanks to the ridiculous refereeing of Stuart Attwell.

Not content with beating up nightclub DJ's, Gerrard again got his self defence in early today against Sunderland's Danny Welbeck on loan from Manchester United.

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard was let off again for a disgraceful challenge on Danny Welbeck, Manchester United striker who is on loan to Sunderland. Steven Gerrard plunged with his elbow on Welbeck's face which pretty much looked intentional evident from the fact that he completely missed the ball.

Amazingly, Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard was shown just a yellow card for his vicious challenge on our very own Danny Welbeck, currently on loan at Sunderland. A few months ago Gerrard intentionally elbowed Michael Brown in the head and before that should have gone down for assault.

After the referee blew the whistle for freekick and bottled sending the Liverpool legend off in front of the Anfield crowd, which was 2,000 under full capacity.

The mood on Merseyside is definitely one of frustration for both the red and blue halves of the city. Both clubs have had a terrible start to the season, but it's Liverpool that is feeling the most angst. Frustration at poor results, owners that won't seem to leave the club, lack of cash injections for much-needed transfer signings and a manager who hasn't won over the masses.

Ac Milan are readying a big money bid for Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard in January as the Serie A side look to wrestle domination from arch rivals Inter Milan. New San Siro boss Massimiliano Allegri is a big admirer of the Anfield skipper and is hoping that funds to make a bold move for the England international will be handed to him in January.

AC Milan are planning to make a £35m bid for Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard during the January transfer window as they look to close the gap on arch-rivals Inter.
