Liverpool midfielder and captain Steven Gerrard has said that it is about time Liverpool delivered a trophy for the fans to celebrate. Steven Gerrard has just returned from a long layoff due to various injury problems. He oversaw the defeat of Manchester City in the two legged semifinals of the Carling cup. This huge victory helped Liverpool make it into their first-ever Wembley appearance for the final of the Carling cup, which will take place soon. Liverpool will be up against the Championship side Cardiff city. Just prior to the match, Steven Gerrard has said that it is about time Liverpool won a trophy that fans can really celebrate about.

Steven Gerrard has overseen the likes of the FA Cup and the Champions League during his time at Liverpool. The 2005 Champions league was one of the major trophies Liverpool last tasted success. It is simply not good enough for a club like Liverpool to go this long without a major trophy. It is one of the reasons for Steven Gerrard to come out with the statement saying that Liverpool do need to perform extremely well against Cardiff City in order to have any chance of satisfying the fans, who have grown extremely hungry for success.

“Six years without a trophy for this football club isn’t good enough. It’s been too long and everyone knows that. It’s time we delivered a trophy. Everyone knows the club has been through some tough times but we’re moving forward now. We’re all desperate to bring success back. It’s what we’re working so hard to achieve,” Steven Gerrard told in an interview given to Liverpool Echo. Liverpool last won the Carling cup back in 2001. Steven Gerrard was a part of that Liverpool side, although yet to establish himself as a first team regular.
