Gerrard: Time to start winning

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard admits the club’s winless start to the season has increased pressure on the players ahead of their trip to Norwich today (3pm).

The Reds have taken just two points from their opening five Premier League matches, which have included home games against champions Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal.

They now have fixtures against Norwich, Stoke and Reading (both at home) which, ordinarily, they would be expected to garner at least seven points. However, Gerrard believes their current low points tally means away draws at places like Carrow Road are no longer acceptable.
