People talk about this being "Liverpool FC and not Rafael Benitez FC", and I wholeheartedly agree. The players owe it to the club - the fans - to give it their all regardless of the manager of the day. An ethos of hard work for the betterment of the club and out of loyalty to the fans is not only essential to success but decent and honourable, and that's why when a player is perceived to be shirking his responsibilities, the fans will direct some of their frustrations at that player, and not exclusively at the manager, ala Heimdall and Lakes.
I agree with that mate, feck who the manager is , play for the club,the fans, earn your wages simple,
