Liverpool not good enough
|
Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez branded last night's defeat at Arsenal as "not good enough".
And Kop captain Steven Gerrard was also involved in a bust-up with John Arne Riise as the Reds were humiliated.
The pair clashed in a heated exchange after William Gallas was left unmarked to score Arsenal's third 10 minutes from time.
Liverpool have picked up only ONE point and scored just ONE goal away this season - a penalty in the opening-day draw at Sheffield United.
And Benitez rapped: "It was not good enough. I am not looking for excuses. I want my team to show more character away from home.
"As a team we need to improve away from home. It was clear we didn't play well in the second half. We made mistakes.
"We created chances in the first half and everything was there. We had no problems until we conceded late in the first half and then so early in the second half.
"We need to start playing as we do at home. We must know how we can do that.
"I have some ideas but I need to work with my players on the pitch."
