# Gerrard: Reds can prove themselves in the next few games

Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has issued a warning to Liverpool critics, as he insists the next few games against sides including Manchester United and Tottenham are a great opportunity for the club to prove themselves, as reported by the[Independent.](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/liverpool-latest-fixtures-steven-gerrard-prove-people-wrong-a7980791.html)

Gerrard believes Jurgen Klopp can silence his critics, as he looks to help Liverpool out of an underwhelming spell of form.

> I love the manager. I think he has taken this team and the club forward. There is a lot of excitement about.
>
> I can see Jurgen is a little bit frustrated at the moment but so are we all. But we are seven games in and Liverpool are capable of going on a long run of winning games.

The Reds have made a fairly inconsistent start to the season, as they managed just one win from seven in September, including a 4-0 thumping at Manchester City.

Liverpool sit seven points off the top of the table in seventh place, but Gerrard, the club’s current under-18 coach, thinks this could all change come the 14th October.

Manchester United travel to Anfield in two weeks’ time, sitting second in the table, behind rivals Manchester City, in a highly anticipated clash.

Jurgen Klopp’s men then travel to an in-form Tottenham side, where they will face a stern test in keeping the likes of Harry Kane quiet.

But Gerrard said he relishes these games, which offer the squad a great opportunity to prove themselves.

> I cannot wait for those two games because watching Liverpool since Jurgen has come in they are the games where Liverpool seem to prove everyone wrong and put in top-class performances.
>
> I think their record against the top sides is the best so if I was a Liverpool player or the Liverpool manager, those games can’t come quick enough.
