Gerrard seeks revenge

Last updated : 07 September 2009 By Al Campbell
Croatia's 3-2 win at Wembley to deny England a place at Euro 2008 two years ago was a low point in Gerrard's career. Now the midfielder is looking for revenge when the teams meet on Wednesday.

"There is unfinished business for all of us," said the Liverpool captain.

"The result and the performance that night really hurt us. It was definitely my lowest moment in an England shirt. It has taken a long time to get over it. I'm still not over it now, to be honest.

"We still remember the feeling we were left with afterwards in the dressing room and I don't think I will be over it until we get that qualification under our belts this week.

"We remember the result two years back and will use it to motivate ourselves on Wednesday. But if you can't get motivated to beat a team to get to the World Cup then you've got a problem.

"This is the 'cup final', and it's a game we go into with confidence. We know we have a fantastic chance and we want to get the job done straight away."
