da bet7k： Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard has admitted that playing in the Carling Cup final at Wembley would be a dream, but has urged his team-mates to concentrate on beating Manchester City in the semi-finals second leg.
da marjack bet： The Merseysiders recorded a 1-0 win over Roberto Mancini’s men at the Etihad Stadium in the first leg, and host the Premier League leaders at Anfield on Wednesday night.
Despite the advantage that Kenny Dalglish’s men have, Gerrard is still urging caution in thinking about playing at Wembley.
“(Wembley talk) has got to be banned because we haven’t made it there yet,” the England international stated in the matchday programme, which was republished on Sky Sports.
“Of course it enters your mind and you dream about it; that helps when it comes to motivation.
“But I don’t think any of our players will be getting carried away or thinking we’ve already done the job.
“We know this is a big game and a tough game.
I think experience is important, it always is. Especially when you have a lead in such an important two-legged fixture.
“We need to play to our maximum. We need every player to turn up and play well to qualify.
“We need to ignore the scoreline and go into this game trying to win it. I think if we’re too negative and try to just protect the lead it could be very dangerous,” he concluded.
