Steven Gerrard Good Quotations

We are getting increasingly good results against the top sides and emerging as challengers to Chelsea. We feel we are significantly improving in all departments.

We are getting good results against the top sides and not slipping up against the smaller ones. We are emerging as challengers for the title. There is still a big gap to reduce but, as the season goes on and we keep getting the results, our confidence will get bigger and bigger.

It's really good for English football when teams do well. Arsenal have definitely got the players to go all the way if they keep Thierry Henry and their match-winners fit.

Taking the lead, that was the hard part. To concede after that was a massive disappointment - not good enough.

We scored two good goals tonight and dominated for 70 minutes but we were all over the place for 20...Unfortunately, we let them back into it.

I know Michael Owen wanted to come here. I have got a good enough relationship with him to know that. That he didn't was down to Liverpool not making it happen, rather than Michael not wanting to come.

I'm sure the media will build it up even more so hopefully we can get some good results there.

In a way it's good and bad news for me.

It was like a chess game. We defended well and 0-0 is a good result but the tie isn't over, it's just half-time,

All the players like Sven. I think he's done very well. I think they players will try that extra bit harder to send him off on a good note.

We're improving all the time, there's still improvement to show -- we want to win the league and we're not conceding goals which is a good base to start from.

This time round, there's ... a good mix of youth and experience. It could be the likes of David Beckham and Gary Neville's last World Cup, so I think everyone's going to be desperate this time round to deliver.
