Rafael van der Vaart has claimed Liverpool have a ‘mediocre’ team when key players don’t perform - adding that three Reds are ‘very normal’.
Van der Vaart’s former team, Ajax, travel to Anfield tonight to take on Liverpool in the second round of Champions League group stage fixtures. The Dutch outfit currently sit top of Group A after beating Rangers 4-0 last week, while the Reds endured a torrid start to the tournament, losing 4-1 at Napoli.
And those respective starts have mirrored domestic form, with Alfred Schreuder’s side top of the Eredivisie with six wins from six, while Jurgen Klopp’s men have won only two from the same number of games. And former Netherlands and Tottenham midfielder has labelled the Reds as ‘very mediocre’, singling out three players for criticism.
