Reds can recover from ‘horror’ season

LIVERPOOL captain Steven Gerrard believes the club can bounce back from the “horror” of last season and start afresh with a new era under manager Roy Hodgson.

Early exits from the Champions League and FA Cup were followed by a seventh-placed finish in the Barclays Premier League, the Reds’ worst for more than a decade.

Boss Rafael Benitez left in the summer for Inter Milan but following the appointment of Hodgson at the start of July a wave of optimism has swept over the club.
