Steven Gerrard: 'It's time to deliver'

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has called on his teammates to end their six-year trophy drought ahead of Sunday's Carling Cup final against Cardiff City.

The Reds last won a major final in 2006 when they defeated West Ham United for the FA Cup.

"It is massive. Everyone at the club have done a fantastic job to get us to Wembley," Gerrard told LFC TV. "Now we have to go do the difficult part and go beat Cardiff.

"It has been too long since we last got to a major final at Wembley (16 years) and to a major final domestically in 2006.

"It is time we delivered as players and put a cup in the cabinet."

Liverpool have won the League Cup on a previous seven occasions.
