Gerrard wants time in new role

Steven Gerrard is confident his England partnership with Wayne Rooney can work, providing the two of them adapt to their roles.

During Wednesday’s lacklustre 1-0 defeat in France, Gerrard was deployed as the support to Rooney, who was playing as a lone striker.

Gerrard has been operating in that role for Liverpool in recent weeks, but was unable to replicate the success of his tandem with Fernando Torres at club level.

But the Liverpool skipper is enjoying his new position on the pitch and feels he can ‘make it happen’ on the international arena.

However, Gerrard also feels that Manchester United forward Rooney will have to tweak his approach for England in order for the partnership to work.
