Ex-reds full-back Glen Johnson said in a statement that Roy Hodgson has left Liverpool stars worried over playing at Anfield. He said that the Liverpool stars were afraid of running out while being in front of the home supporters. With players like Xabi Alonso, Fernando Torres, and Javier Mascherano, they were worried about playing a smaller team. Though there was no disrespect for the smaller team, according to Johnson, it is not difficult to win, but it is tiring as they have to put the bull to sleep before they can step out as a winner. Johnson played 200 games at Anfield and scored nine goals. He was the only player of his time who claimed the League cup under Dalglish in 2012.
