STEVEN GERRARD has warned his team-mates they will eventually pay the price for dropping points at home.

Liverpool have suffered goalless draws at Anfield with Stoke CIty, Fulham and West Ham so far this season but still sit on top of the Premier League.

Their last two league games both finished in home stalemates and cost them the chance to open up clear daylight between themselves and Chelsea.

Liverpool still have a one-point lead following Monday’s West Ham game and Gerrard is enthused about the fact that the club is in the best position to strike for the title in his 10 years as a first team player.

But he said: “At the moment dropping points like we have been doing at home has not cost us anything. But that is not always going to be the case.

“We have got to get better, be more consistent and start killing teams off when we get the chance.

“But what we all hope is that as much success as we have had in the past, the UEFA Cup, Champions League and FA Cup successes, we have still got our best days to come.

“For me this is the best team we have had since I broke through. At the moment we are up there fighting but in this league, as soon as you take your eye off the ball or take anything for granted, you are brought back down to earth with a bump.”
