Portsmouth boss Avram Grant took a swipe at Rafa Benitez's tactics for Liverpool's defeat at Fratton Park.
Grant was unimpressed with the formation set out by Benitez.
"If you want to play good football you'll win more games than if you come to play negative football," said Grant.
"It's a very tough job, a big, big challenge. We also have to fight against the statistic that the team that is bottom at Christmas gets relegated. It's one of my biggest challenges, for sure."
