Redknapp not happy with Liverpool performance

August 31, 2008

Liverpool and Aston Villa played out a rather drab nil nil draw yesterday which had former Reds midfielder Jamie Redknapp fuming. Speaking on Sky Sports after the game, Redknapp claimed that Liverpool played for nothing more than a draw and this is one of the reasons why the team will once again be a mile off the title celebrations come the end of the season.

Liverpool have actually got a very good record at Villa Park in the Premiership, but will point to the fact that Steven Gerrard was injured in trying to diffuse their at times woeful attacking presence.

Yet Redknapp was less than complimentary over the tactics of Rafa Benitez, claiming that going to places like Aston Villa are must win matches for the eventual champions and the fact that they seemed not to try to says so much about the club’s ambition.

He also stated that Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United all had better players than Liverpool and that the boardroom rift which is dominating the club is affecting progress on the pitch. It is difficult to see one of the three other teams in the top four playing for a draw at Villa Park, but are Liverpool genuine title contenders anyway?
