Steven Gerrard has spoken of his excitement at how Liverpool are progressing heading into 2013.

The 32-year-old has been one of our standout performers since Brendan Rodgers took charge last summer, scoring four goals and claiming six league assists.

But despite Gerrard's form and that of 16-goal Luis Suarez, the Reds sit in ninth position in the Barclays Premier League.

However, the skipper thinks the squad will enter 2013 with high hopes.

"Going into the New Year, there's plenty to be positive about," he wrote in his pre-Sunderland programme notes.

"I'm excited about this Liverpool team. I genuinely believe we are moving in the right direction.

"There will be a few blips along the way like the Villa defeat, because we are a very young squad.

"But clubs are defined by how they react to adversity and I know this group shares plenty of character and togetherness. As a collective, we will learn and we will get better.

"The league position needs to be improved and that needs to be our focus. But we've got games in two major cup competitions to look forward to in the second half of the season as well."

2012 was the worst year in LFC history in the league. 2013 will be better. We will get more wins, score more goals, sign good players. Happy new year to all who 're associated with this best club in the world. YNWA
