Christian Benteke slams Liverpool, ‘The players here don’t have the pedigree

The fan is aiming to raise €10million in an effort to provide the money that Liverpool would owe if they let Rodgers go.

The former England captain also revealed that some of Europe’s biggest clubs had been interested in securing his services throughout his career, but he was only ever tempted to leave Liverpool because of the chance to play under Mourinho.

Unfortunately, our performance for much of the game meant that we were not able to bag the victory that the strike deserved. In midfield, for me there are two new players, because though Can has been at the club for a while he has never played in midfield, and then the front three were all new players as well.

Christian Benteke is the only player apart from Philippe Coutinho who have scored for Liverpool this season.

Jamie Carragher and Graeme Souness have both been highly critical of Rodgers’ system, particularly his commitment to a 4-3-3 formation that left striker Christian Benteke distanced from his team-mates far too often.

Even if Wayne Rooney and United haven’t found the back of the net too often this season, they have more than enough talent to embarrass Mignolet and his defenders once again. “What we are seeing at the moment is players coming in and adapting to it”.

“And by the time they do start to gel, if they do, other teams will have a lot of points”.

The Northern Irishman’s men visit Manchester United on Saturday after winning two of their opening four league games, but their start has been unconvincing. “Daniel has looked really sharp in training, the best he has looked fitness-wise in 18 months”, he said.

Liverpool have now lost back to back games, after a 3-0 home defeat by West Ham United before the worldwide break, and have won only one of their last eight away games in the league.

Liverpool came out on top in both fixtures, triumphing 1-0 away thanks to a Peter Crouch goal before a comfortable 3-0 win in the return clash at Anfield.
