Gerrard confident

       
   Gerrard, like the rest of his team-mates, has benefited from a new training and recovery programme tailored to individual needs, and Driscoll believes that is reflected in his performances.We have around 90% availability rate this year with injuries, which is really good," he told Liverpoolfc.com.We had confidence that, if managed correctly, Steven would be able to achieve everything he has achieved this year," Driscoll said.We've hit all the targets that we wanted to from a medical science perspective.Four or five years ago, people were saying it was very unlikely that Steven - with his injury history - would ever achieve this, let alone reach the milestones he has hit this year in terms of playing time at the age of 32.The midfielder, who turns 33 in May, has played every minute of Liverpool's 30 Premier League matches this season, and that has seen him score eight goals and provide nine assists.It's a credit to Steven himself; his professionalism is second to none.The club's medical department underwent an overhaul when new manager Brendan Rodgers took over in the summer and Driscoll thinks those changes are now making a significant difference.
