He claimed at the time that he was not happy with the atmosphere at Anfield and told fans that they could not help improve the vocal support in the ground to give away their ticket.
“I wasn’t too happy with the atmosphere behind me,” he said in December. ‘I thought, “What do you want?” We changed the team a lot and we dominated West Ham. If I had been in the crowd, I would have stood on my toes.
‘Was everyone disappointed because we didn’t beat Manchester United? On Saturday (against Arsenal) we have to keep Anfield on its toes from the first second. Without waiting until I get into an argument with the opponent’s coach or whatever.
‘We need you. If it’s too much football in December, sorry, if you’re not in shape, give your ticket to someone else.’
