It's nice of Stevie to say that about his old chum. The 'truth' is though, Gerrard & Torres were still putting in the performances when Alonso was sulking and playing like a right fanny. Figure that one out.
was he ok yeh , ok its clear you cant stand xabi pity when he was one of the best players we have had in the last 10-15 years , you have a go at xabi for allegedly sulking , but did ever have a go at mascherano for going on strike and publicly wanting to leave stating he didnt like the city of liverpool or england .
