St John emotional over Liverpool plight

Liverpool legend Ian St John has slammed the reign of Rafa Benitez.

The club hold a 50th anniversary tribute to boss Bill Shankly on Wednesday night.

And Kop legend Saint, a Shankly disciple, choked with emotion on Sky Sports yesterday when asked about the club's current plight.

He said: "It's shocking. This team will not make the top four. Patience is wearing thin.

"The players Rafa has bought are not good enough. If we do not get in the Champions League it will have a big impact."
