Former Liverpool goalkeeper Bruce Grobbelaar has claimed that Steven Gerrard's head is already at MLS side LA Galaxy following his red card against Manchester United.
The Reds captain was sent off just 38 seconds after coming on at Anfield on Sunday for stamping on Ander Herrera, and his side lost 2-1 to their rivals after being forced to play the majority of the second half with 10 men.
Gerrard has agreed to join the Galaxy at the end of the season and Grobbelaar, who won six league titles with Liverpool, is concerned that the 34-year-old is not fully focused on the race for a top-four finish.
"Steven Gerrard wanted to stamp his authority on to the match," he told talkSPORT.
"I know that Gerrard's heart is in Liverpool, and always will be, but his head is in Los Angeles."
Liverpool are now five points behind fourth-placed United in the Premier League table with eight games remaining.
