[video] Gerrard: FA Cup Win Would Make Up For League Slump

IN the build-up to another Wembley final this Saturday, Reds captain Steven Gerrard has conceded that the club’s faltering performance in this season’s Premier League has been a massive underachievement – however judgment should only be made on the campaign, after the impending FA Cup final.

If they were to win what would be their 8th FA Cup in history against Chelsea, Gerrard believes it would compensate for the extremely disappointing league season – having already claimed the Carling Cup back in February.

“This club is all about winning trophies, big trophies, and the FA Cup comes under that,” Gerrard said. “We will assess the season after the weekend. If we can look back and say we have won two cups, then we will be happy. But we need to address the problem of our league position.

“Silverware is success. That’s why we play the game. Some of the biggest experiences we have had over the years is from winning cups – the European Cup, the FA Cup, the Uefa Cup, the Carling Cup. Those are the nights and days that you look back on with fond memories. The FA Cup is special, but we got a taste of success from winning the Carling Cup. That will help the younger players in the squad. Winning breeds confidence and you want more.”
