From the liverpoolfc.tv website:

Liverpool's players have been accused of lacking heart in an amazing outburst by Olimpija Ljubljana striker Mladen Rudonja just days before the two teams meet at Anfield.

The Reds drew 1-1 in Slovenia last month and qualification for the 2nd round of the UEFA Cup will be decided on Wednesday but in an astonishing interview, Rudonja has rubbished the Premiership team.

"Their big players may have lots of money - but that means nothing on the pitch," claimed Rudonja. "You need to have heart and they haven't got it like we have. We're not bothered by them. Every footballer has two legs just like me so why should I say they are better players. If they think they are, they are free to prove it on the pitch."

Rudonja wasn't the only one to have a pop at Liverpool though. The Slovenian team's manager, Suad Besirovic, also had something to say. "If we played Liverpool every week, we'd be top of our league by 20 points," he insisted. "We're going to England with the intention of winning and going into the next round. After seeing Liverpool in action, I know we are capable of that."

these boys are gonna get it good when they come over this week!!

Do ye think that manager is right though, after the first leg?

He's just trying to wind GH up with some minds games. We'll show them just how much heart we have on Wed hopefully;)

The Reds will knock five past those cocky little ****es. Anyone remember when Clinton Morrison made similar comments after Crystal Palace's first leg Worthington Cup game?

Im a pool fan liverpool will get a win but only 2-0 in my opinion and it wont be a whitewash by any means liverpool are not firing on all cylinders at the min and i can totaly understand some of the comments made by those players liverpool look kinda lazy as of late!

jonno · 13-10-2003 8:25pm

Liverpool won't have the fire power up front so it'll be 2-0 I'd say

I reckon Sinama-Pongolle will get a run with Heskey if Owen isn't fit

Nah they will go through in the end, its always the small clubs ya gotta watch!

i hope they beat Liverpool. I agree with their manager too but effectively all it is are mind games.

Thanx 4 The Fish · 14-10-2003 11:15am

And I had hoped that you were not coming back but we can't always get what we hope for. Realistically, liverpool will beat them by a couple of goals, the question is how convincing the win will be...

Oh thats very cheeky!!!
