KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Rafa's coments about the big players.

I thought is comments were well out order especialy where Stevie G is concerned, that lad is aloud to have a bad day as far as im concerned. Its the rest of the team that play crap week in week out that is the problem

He mentioned the senior players, not like he singled Gerrard out.

Its eery single senior players

they were terrible the other night. but as people have said maybe stevie was due one and should not be given too hard a time. the other senior players like carra,kuyt, and torres(even with his goal) were also poor. torres needs to stop his whining and get on with scoring goals.

A bad workman always blames his tools

some have more expensive tools than others...

some tools have ponytails and don't work properly

ahh well that ponytail ..utter crap,wondering what stopped Hertha from an audacious Bid...:S

hindsight being what it is... would have been better to have sold Voronin and replaced him with Owen (if only to not have to see the little pr*ck wearing a manc rubgy league top!!!)

What Benitez said was spot on IMO. The team that played Monday night was superior to Villas and should have won! Sadly we have a squad that looks weaker on paper than Spurs and Manc-city thanks to the massive £1,5m yank input and the addition of ex-Xabi's transfer fee and so therefore the senior players have to step up to the mark. Cos if they don't raise their game and raise the other players then we are done for.

Although we don't have the depth of our main rivals nor of the new kids on the block (Spurs/M.City) which is pretty pathetic tbh! we do have enough class to mount a title challenge again. We need a good performance and 3 points to show for it at Bolton and the players need to show that fighting spirit and commitment of last year - and that has to come from the top: management and senior players.

exactly!

any manager can only do so much - the bottom line is with the players to perform to the best of their ability.
