Oh dear Mr Clever the arch complainer/moaner/whiner/any old excuse will do has clearly lost his marbles.
Brendan Rodgers tells Liverpool to stop moaning and whining
• Liverpool manager desperate to rediscover intensity
He looks like a little boy lost.
Rodgers said: “It will take time [for new players to adapt] unfortunately, purely because of their ages and the adaptation needed, but I don’t want to keep talking about giving players time. You’ve got to focus on performance.
“There are many reasons why we are not at the level of the last 18 months but we’ve got to forget about whining and moaning and complaining and find the best way to get the intensity back in our game. When we get the intensity back in our pressing and passing I think we are a very good team.”
He added: “This is an opportunity as opposed to any threat. We are still very much in the hunt to qualify from the group. Real are arguably the best team in the world but we know we have some outstanding players and if we can find the intensity in our game of the last 18 months we can challenge anyone.”
