IAN RUSH : Flops using off-field troubles as an excuse

BLAST ... Ian Rush
IAN RUSH has accused Liverpool's flops of blaming the club's off-field troubles for their nightmare on it.
Kop legend Rushie rapped: "It is easy to use that as an excuse but when I played we just got on with the game."
Roy Hodgson's side are stuck in the Premier League's bottom three as the battle to control the club goes to the High Court on Monday.
Owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett have launched a legal bid to stop fellow Yanks New England Sports Ventures' £300million takeover.
But Rush - the most prolific marksman in the club's history - believes all the uncertainty off the field is not to blame for the team's poor start.
The ex-Wales striker, who banged in 346 goals in 660 appearances during two spells at Anfield, said: "It's easy to criticise when you are not doing well.
"You can easily blame everyone but we are all in it together - the owners the management, the players and the supporters.
"If we are all fighting against each other it is not working, so what we have to do is for everyone to get behind each other and be positive."
New boss Hodgson is feeling the heat after Liverpool's worst start since 1953-54 - when they were relegated.
Fans called for former boss Kenny Dalglish to replace Hodgson after Sunday's 2-1 home defeat by Blackpool.
But Dirk Kuyt is backing Hodgson to come good. The Dutch star said: "If you could see the training sessions, you could see the progress that is being made every day.
"We believe in ourselves and it's just a matter of time before it comes out on the pitch and the good results will follow.
"We are working hard on playing with the shape that the manager likes to use and we have been making progress.
"We didn't have a lot of time in pre-season to work on things but it is definitely starting to come together."
