Red light: Benitez has warned Mascherano not to turn his back on Liverpool yet.
Javier Mascherano has been ordered to toe the line by Rafa Benitez after hinting he may be ready to quit Anfield at the end of the season.
Benitez told the Argentina skipper he would not tolerate any unwanted disruption after Mascherano said he was unsure if he would stay.
The Liverpool boss said: 'I talked it over with him and I don't think he wants to leave. He knows his best option is to be here.'
Benitez has also attempted to end speculation linking crowd favourite Xabi Alonso with Real Madrid and Juventus.
I seriously hope he will stay. He is one key factor for Liverpool's future success. He always break opponent's attack with his tackles.
Gerrard, Masherano, Torres and Agger are players that Rafa has to keep if he wants to win the BPL.
merepek. i believe that mascherano is a loyal servant
Perhaps he feel Pool don't value him enough and keep chasing after Barry still... I don't think he wants to end up like his good friend Tevez... Become a bit part player only...
pls stay
liverpool may not live w/o u..
barry also wont play his position. barry will play left wing if he comes
mas say say only lar i think. no real intentions of leaving
Mas, Alonso, Gerrard, Torres And Agger is good
So dun leave la
