The Reds need to improve their results if they're to make sure of qualification for next season's Champions League. The players all need to up their games and make sure that happens says Gerrard.

"It is down to the players to improve results and that goes for every single one of us," said the skipper.

"There's no doubt about it, the last few weeks have been difficult for everyone at the club and the constant speculation is never going to be helpful but as professionals we have to rise above it and focus on our own performances and nothing else.

"If you want you can look for excuses and blame other people for your own shortcomings but if you want to win games then you have to look at yourself and no-one else.

"Everyone has got to pull together and work for one another because that is the only way that results will improve and we will start to move back up the league table."
