Carra: Liverpool Lost Bit Respect Under Rafa

Jamie Carragher feels Liverpool
became a hated club under Rafa
Benitez.
Carragher feels Liverpool’s public
image took a battering towards
the end of the Benitez regime, as
the former Anfield boss found
himself at odds with rival
managers.
"I care about the club and it
concerned me that, last year,
people just didn ’t like Liverpool,"
he said.
"Other managers hated us and
stuff in the media was all
negative. We weren ’t doing well
on the pitch, to be fair, but it was
just negative Liverpool all the
time.
"We had situations where Martin
O ’Neill and Steve Bruce were
criticising Liverpool and they
were right. We shouldn’t be
getting involved with stuff like
that.
"Everyone else should look at
Liverpool and say they have
dignity, class. It should be like the
way people look at Arsenal. They
do things right, conduct
themselves properly.
"I’m not getting involved in what
the causes were, but we need to
get back to behaving in a way
that wins respect."
