Liverpool legend Tommy Smith says the club’s American owners – not Rafa Benitez – are to blame for the failure to make the knockout stages of the Champions League.
He said: “Europe’s upper echelons is where Liverpool Football Club belongs. So being dumped out of a Champions League group which any Liverpool side should ordinarily have been able to conquer, is not good enough.
Liverpool supporters are magnificent and unique – and the reason why Rafael Benitez and everyone at Anfield knows they deserve far better than they’re suddenly getting this season.
And the question is, will the owners, who hardly ever turn up to watch a game,either sell up or somehow give him the money he needs to ensure this stuttering and deeply frustrating season is not repeated?
He added: ‘My thoughts last night went out to those magnificent Liverpool fans who stood in the rain in Hungary at the end on a cold November night singing ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone.’
‘They weren’t booing, screaming at players or calling for the manager’s head. No. They stuck with the team and shared the deep disappointment, singing their hearts out to try and lift everyone’s spirits.
‘Certainly those fans will give the manger time to sort it out.’
