Gerrard loving Anfield life Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has brushed aside any talk of his unrest at Anfield, as he bagged his first goal of the season in a 3-0 UEFA Champions League victory over Bordeaux.The Reds' 3-0 success was enough to secure their place in the last 16 of the competition with two games to spare, and Gerrard's goal was a huge bonus on the night.
Gerrard banged in 23 goals for Liverpool last season but has not yet found top gear this term and his goal against Bordeaux was his first since his heroics in the FA Cup final back in May.
His lack of goals has been part of the reason some have speculated that he has become unhappy with Rafa Benitez's rotation policy and his decision to play Gerrard on the right instead of central midfield.
However, Gerrard has never complained and simply laughed off any talk of him being unsettled at Anfield and says he is still loving life at his hometown club.
"You look at my performance tonight, it didn't look unsettled," insisted Gerrard.
"I will be at Liverpool for many years to come and I'm loving every second."
As Benitez finally named an unchanged line-up, Gerrard admitted that the team were surprised when they heard the manager's decision.
Although Benitez's rotation policy has come under fire in some quarters, Gerrard insists the players have belief in their manager and says it is their own performances that have been a problem.
"He named the side an hour before kick-off and the lads were looking around in astonishment," admitted Gerrard.
"You have to believe in what he says, whatever team he puts out.
"Our form has been inconsistent and it is up to the players to improve that."
