LIVERPOOL CAPTAIN STEVEN GERRARD has confessed that the prospect of winning his first ever Premier League title is a scary one.
Liverpool topped the league at Christmas and though they are currently fourth, they are six points off league-leading Arsenal. The midfielder told Sky Sports he does not know how he would handle himself if the Merseyside club end their 23-year wait for a league trophy.
He said, “I don’t know how I’d handle myself. When I won the Champions League, for the week after, talk about being on cloud nine, all your clichés, it’s even better than that.
If I could add a Premier League title to my collection it would probably be the best day of my life besides my kids being born; I think it would almost top the Champions League because it’s the one I haven’t got.”
Despite the obvious title ambitions, Gerrard revealed he would snap the hands off anyone who offered Liverpool fourth spot at the end of the season. Brendan Rodger’s men finished seventh last season and eight, under Kenny Dalglish, the year before. They have not qualified for the Champions League since 2009.

Gerrard believes ‘dropped silly points’ at Anfield have cost his team dearly over recent seasons but comprehensive wins have replaced frustrating draws during the current campaign. The 33-year-old added, “If you get your home form right, then you can build on your away form. Our away form’s been a little bit inconsistent but that’s what we’re working on and if we can get that right we’ll be a force in this league.”
