Liverpool skipper Gerrard: We let ourselves down

Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard admits they let themselves down against Fiorentina last night.

"It was a really disappointing night," Gerrard told the Liverpool Echo.

"We are disappointed with our first-half performance. We just didn't turn up and were second best all over the pitch. We deserved to go in behind.

"There was a reaction in the second half - without creating many clear-cut chances - but we lost the game in the first half.

"We didn't do what we usually do in Europe. We usually play with a high tempo, pass the ball well and play really well on the counter-attack. Those things weren't there and it was all over the pitch - from front to back.

"Now we've got a massive game at Chelsea on Sunday. We have to get this result out of our system quickly and show a reaction at Stamford Bridge."
