Macca says Robbie isnt happy.

Former Liverpool winger Steve McManaman has revealed that Robbie Fowler is not exactly thrilled at the moment.

"I speak to Robbie a lot. In fact I just did on Monday," Macca said.

"He was not too happy only playing the last two minutes against Newcastle and then having to play 45 minutes of a reserve game later."

However, McManaman was quick to add that he was just showing some Scouse humour and that his best friend is very much settled and happy to be back at Anfield. Macca is convinced Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez will not hesitate to offer the striker an extension to his current six-month contract.

"I was joking about Robbie being pissed, but he would obviously have preferred to play more of the match against Newcastle."

"I have no doubts that Robbie has done enough at Anfield already. Officially he has only scored one goal so far, but he had a legitimate goal against Charlton chopped off and was unlucky with two other disallowed goals before he did score against Fulham.

"Robbie is obviously not going to score as many goals as before, but that is because of the way the current Liverpool side are set up. Rafa's team are very strong in defence and tend to build from the back rather than play a more attacking game like Arsenal or Manchester United."

"To be honest, Liverpool did not sign Robbie because he was playing well at Manchester City so they probably took a chance by bringing him back to Anfield, but I think it was a 'no lose' situation as Liverpool needed a goalscorer and Robbie guarantees goals."

When asked whether a move back to Merseyside would have tempted him from not retiring from football, the former Galactico answered, "Not really."

"I had a fantastic time at Liverpool. Sometimes it's not so good when you go back. People tend to remember you for the wrong reasons."

However, he strongly believes that this will not happen to his best mate.

"He is a Liverpool boy and it is a wonderful move for him. Out of Crouch, Cisse and Morientes and Fowler, I think Robbie is one of the best."

"He is playing well and everyone is happy. I can see him being there next year."
