Lucas Leiva insists Liverpool's players were always fully behind former manager Roy Hodgson.
The Brazil midfielder fervently denies any mutiny contributed to Hodgson's entry in the history books as Liverpool's shortest-serving manager.
"We lost Rafa and until the pre-season there was not a substitute," he told the Guardian. "Roy simply brought a philosophy that did not work with the team at that time and this is not the first or last time it will happen.
"This rumour about us not working hard enough is nonsense. And so was the questioning of Roy's managerial capabilities. He did a great job at Fulham and now is doing well at West Brom."
