Just heard JC after the match...

[alias75]

Paraphrasing but he said he was delighted for Rafa that they got the win, and that Rafa had been the biggest influence on his career.

 

Maybe there have been a few clear the air talks between the players and Rafa?

[Maldini]

Gerrard was kind of the opposite I thought, kind of went out of his way to avoid praising the manager.

[Paisley]

Saw the best and worst of Gerrard tonight. Does he really think he would have a Champions league medal if it wasn't for Rafa?

Gerrard's the captain, I think it's sort of expected that he has to do that praise everyone role not individuals role.

To be fair Rafa wouldn't have one if it wasn't for Gerrard, so I don't think there's any need to be hard on Stevie.

???

 

gerrard said exactly what he should say as the club captain for f***s sake.

I was wondering the same thing myself. I think Rafa has gone and done something truelly brilliant , what I don't know but the lads were pretty inspired.

You sir are a C*ck

[Guy_Incognito]

What did Gerrard say?

[Boca]

Said this in another thread but I can't believe Gerrard is getting grief for this. He said exactly what Rafa would have said if asked the same question. It's not about one man, it's about the entire club.

[Tyler]

mentioned this in another thread

 

carra interview was after he had showered and changed so he had time to collect his thoughts

 

i thought gerrard didn't want to come across as saying we had beaten inter and the job was done

same as rafa really

[pipnasty]

It's that mythic Liverpool Way again (and not the one where we win at any cost) - the tie is only half way through and there is no point in congratulating anybody yet. And that is what both Rafa and Gerrard said last night. Not a problem at all.

Gerrard Defo dodged praising Rafa!

 

He's been p****d off with team selection like everybody else.

Why is that, he is playing in his prefered position isn't he

[Guest Budo]

Eh? Are you suggesting he doesn't care as long as he's playing where he likes to play?

[pipnasty]

He's been p****d off with team selection like everybody else.

 

 

How do you know?

[Chili Palmer]

Eh? Are you suggesting he doesn't care as long as he's playing where he likes to play?

 

and how do you know he is pissed off at team selection?

[Falconhoof]

When Rafa has been asked to praise Gerrard in the past he's refused to single out individuals. Its the way to approach these interviews and Gerrard was merely doing the same.

I'm not convinced that Gerrard is 'happy' under Rafa's management but I don't think that interview was evidence of anything.

[Hassony]

Eh? Are you suggesting he doesn't care as long as he's playing where he likes to play?

 

Yes, who plays with him in the team and in what position is up to the manager to decide, and not anyone else

[Guest Budo]

How do you know?

 

Because any Liverpool fan in their right mind who knows anything about football has been.

just been on a man city forum (don't ask why!)and even they could see that the lack of support for Rafa from Gerrard was obvious to see

[Rimbeux]

And you know this, that he and everybody else feel like that

 

 

I for one was unaware of telling you my thoughts on the matter

[Ronnie Whelan]

When is Gerrard joining Chelsea?

Arrogant nonsense
