The ongoing battle for control of Liverpool is unsettling the players, claims skipper Steven Gerrard.


I'm sorry but I'm not having this. He's being paid circa 100k a week, just get on with the job they are all highly paid to do and ignore the press speculation. It shouldn't matter who signs the friggin' paycheck.
Just another lame attempt to support Rafael.

Stevie lad, listen to your mucka. he knows the bobby moore.

"I think this is just an excuse - as it was at the start of the season to point to assistant boss Pako Ayesteran leaving when we were poor," he said.

"The last nine or 10 games haven't been good enough.

"We are all aware of what is going on but all we can do as players is concentrate on doing it on the pitch.

"Anything that goes on off it is nothing to do with us. I know some people say what happens off the pitch affects players - but it doesn't affect me. Why should it?

"I am paid to play. Your wages are still coming in, you are still playing for Liverpool, so I don't know why it should affect players.

Excuses are like a**holes.

Everyone's got one.

He probably thinks he is god because things aren't going his way so who should he blame?

He blames the people who sign his checks not a very educated young man is he? Deep down he feels he is untouchable and would flee at a moments notice if they weren't in Champions league each year.:angry:

I heard that he blubbed down the phone to Mr Kenright last night begging him to take him back.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

I can see both of them arm in arm riding off in the sunset together. Blubbering as they go.

I [Poor language removed] hate all this bollocks that players are affected by things other than what happens on the pitch. Players performing badly because they are unsettled by transfer speculation like they are some kind delicate flower that needs to be held with kitten soft gloves on.

Talk to players of Luton who havent been paid for 3 months and are on the verge of going bust- that might just affect your performance!

It shouldnt, but I guess it does - like anywhere its difficult not to get sucked into the gossip when theres a takeover or money troble.

But he shouldnt be giving excuses he should be galvanising his team.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

I agree with Mick. It shouldn't mean a hill of beans whats happening anywhere but on the pitch. I mean come on how much coddling do these players need if things just don't go their way. This is the real world and bad things do and will happen. Humpty Dumpty effect.

Good to see you mate- hope you are well.

Gerrard- its kind of like saying that me playing for my Sunday side that we played badly because our manager might not be managing us anymore. Bollocks.

On a somewhat related note, this video made me laugh:

Only one person they interview even sounded like a scouser (a plazzie scouser, but a scouser nonetheless.)

I thought the guy that said "Behage Herr Hicks og Gillette , selge og gå hjem nå" spoke for the majority of Liverpool fans
