Mark Lawrenson: Why Liverpool FC should get used to close encounters

SO Steven Gerrard has already made his first priceless intervention this season – because that game at Bolton was one that Liverpool had to win.
That’s not me over-stating the importance of victories in August or suggesting that dropping more points would mean the title challenge was already over.
But I said after the defeat to Aston Villa last week that to get the season up and running, it was all about response and reaction. And going into the international break with another three points in the bag was essential to Liverpool’s mindset after the first few games of the campaign.
