"He wants me to emulate my form for Liverpool for England," said Gerrard.
"He is prepared to help me. That is what I want. I do not want a manager to give up on me for club or country.
"I haven't always hit my Liverpool form for England but it's not through a lack of trying. I'm desperate to play well.
"I have delivered for England but I need to make that more consistent.
"That's the next challenge for me, to try to stay in the starting XI and perform as consistently for England as I do for Liverpool.
"The manager has shown in the games he has been in charge he's prepared to make changes. He's not bothered about big names or big hitters, he'll pick the team who he thinks will do the job."
