Gerrard calls for patience from fans

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has called for frustrated fans to be patient as the team try to turn around their wretched run of results.

Six defeats in seven league matches have prompted all kinds of outpourings from disgruntled supporters.

"There are a lot of challenges ahead this season. I'd ask the supporters to be patient; we will get it right," said the England international. "We have had a mixed March. We're in a league position we're not happy about and we need to look at ourselves and try to move up the league as soon as possible."
