Steven Gerrard
admitted Liverpool's display was below par against Queens Park Rangers, but
insisted the team can take solace in the way they battled to the end on a
dramatic afternoon at Loftus Road.
"I think we
were very lucky to get three points," Gerrard told Sky Sports from the
Loftus Road tunnel following the exhilarating finale. "Our performance
needs to be better, in my opinion.
"We could
have had no complaints today if we had come away with nothing and we could have
had no complaints if we had come away with a point. It was a very bitty game -
stop-start - but I think the only credit that we can give ourselves is that we
never gave up.
"We kept
going to the end and we got rewarded for hanging in and staying in the game.
But all-round, it needs improving. Of course we're going to go away really
happy with the three points. It's what we came for."
"Moving
forward, we know that we've got to improve," said the captain. "I've
played many games during my career where we've battered teams from start to finish
and come away with nothing, so football's a strange game at times. I'm sure the
QPR players and Harry Redknapp are sitting in a state of shock.
"It was one
of those games that could have gone either way and neither team could have had
any complaints. But from our point of view, we've conceded two sloppy goals
again and we're coming up against the best side in Europe [Real Madrid] over
the next fortnight, so we need to address that."
