Former Liverpool captain Alan Hansen has accused Rafa Benitez's players of "lacking fight" in their defeat to Fulham.

Yesterday, Hansen yesterday called on the team to show more fighting spirit.

"The best Liverpool sides I played in had rotten days, even when we were winning silverware with regularity at home and abroad," he said.

"But then it was a case of thinking, 'We're all in this together', rallying around and coming out fighting. That was not the case at Fulham. There was a lack of fight - and that can't happen at Liverpool Football Club."
