METRO – Liverpool’s Brad Jones defends Pepe Reina as he prepares to take over

September 25, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Brad Jones has dismissed any criticism of fellow Liverpool goalkeeper Jose Reina and says he has no worries about the Spaniard’s form. Brad Jones says he has no worries about Pepe Reina (Picture: Action Images) Reina has, by his own high standards, had a poor last 18 months with mistakes last season being followed by errors already in the current campaign against Manchester City, Hearts and Arsenal. But Jones, who is set to take over in goal as Liverpool begin their defence of the Capital One Cup at West Brom tonight, stressed that did not mean Reina had become a bad keeper.The Australia international said: ‘You don’t get to the top, which is where he has been for the last five or six years, if you are no good – it is as simple as that – and you don’t stay there. He has been at the top since he was 17, starting playing at Barcelona, so I wouldn’t be worried if it was me and I don’t think he is too worried about himself.’ Jones was frustrated by his limited opportunities last season but has featured twice in the Europa League this term and is relishing the extra playing time under Brendan Rodgers. ‘The new manager involves me a lot more and I’m hoping the manager has been happy with the way things have gone and the way I have trained and played in the few games,’ he said. Meanwhile, West Brom go into the game without suspended striker Peter Odemwingie and winger Jerome Thomas, who has a knee injury. Midfielder James Morrison is a doubt after injuring his hamstring in Saturday’s win over Reading.

Steven Gerrard: Liverpool were in total shock after West Brom defeat

August 20, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has admitted their 3-0 opening day defeat to West Brom left the dressing room ‘shocked’. Steven Gerrard has urged Liverpool fans not to panic despite the weekend’s heavy defeat (Picture: PA) The loss marked a poor start to Brendan Rodgers’ tenure as Liverpool boss, having taken over from Kenny Dalglish in the summer.The Reds had Daniel Agger sent off as goals from Zoltan Gera, Peter Odemwingie and on-loan Chelsea forward Romelu Lukaku sealed the win for West Brom.’The feeling after was one of total shock with the result,’ said Gerrard.‘It was never a 3-0 game. I fancied us to go there, dominate and win but things didn’t work out that way. ’It’s not the start we wanted but it’s no time for panic. It’s only the first game and it was one bad day at the office.’We’ve got to look at the bigger picture.’Meanwhile, former Liverpool midfielder Gary McAllister has said the Reds can’t rely on frontman Luis Suarez to deliver enough goals to help them challenge for a top four place. Luis Suarez is not a natural goalscorer, according to Gary McAllister (Picture: Getty) ‘Suarez is a fantastic player, but I don’t know if he is a natural goalscorer, somebody like a Michael Owen,’ said the Scot.‘I can see him chipping in with a good amount of goals but is he somebody who is going to get 25 plus? I’m not so sure.’Liverpool travel to Hearts on Thursday night in the first leg of their Europa League play-off tie, before hosting Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday.

Liverpool fans must expect more bad days as I rebuild side, says Rodgers

August 19, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Brendan Rodgers has warned of more tough days ahead after his Liverpool side crashed 3-0 at West Brom. Brendan Rodgers’ first Premier League game as Liverpool manager ended in a disappointing defeat (Picture: Getty) Rodgers and the Reds’ supporters were given a reality check on the opening day as goals from Zoltan Gera, Peter Odemwingie’s penalty and Romelu Lukaku sealed their fate. In addition, defender Daniel Agger was sent off for a professional foul when conceding the first of two spot-kicks awarded to the Baggies. ‘There is a big job to do and we will have more days like this along the way,’  admitted the former Swansea boss. ‘That is the reality of it. It is still a work in progress. There will be days along the way that will hurt and it will be difficult. It is going to take time.’ Rodgers felt his side were harshly done by in terms of the two penalties awarded against them by referee Phil Dowd – the first of which Jose Reina saved from Shane Long. ‘A couple of harsh decisions went against us, we never scored our chances and West Brom took full advantage of the extra man,’ he said. But new Albion boss Steve Clarke  believes his former club – he was  assistant to Kenny Dalglish at Anfield – will revive their fortunes. He said: ‘Liverpool are a top team and for me they will be up there challenging for the top four this season. ‘But I expected to win. I knew I had a good group, that they were ready for the game and they proved me right.’
