Danny Murphy has revealed how a Liverpool player’s wife was left unloved in the dressing room after calling the manager. Danny Murphy has revealed how one of his former Liverpool teammates fell out of favor in the dressing room because of his wife’s antics.
Chelsea defender Thiago Silva hit the headlines recently after his wife Bella suggested he sack manager Mauricio Pochettino following last weekend’s 4-2 defeat to Wolves. Speaking on talkSPORT, Murphy recalled a similar situation during his time at Liverpool and said Silva’s public involvement would not go down well in the Chelsea dressing room.
“If your wife, your partner, your girlfriend, your mother, your brother or whoever starts tweeting about your career and club politics and who should do what, you’re going to feel weird,” he said. “It’s something I can’t control and if it happens, it’s something I don’t understand because it’s only going to happen once.
“What’s next for Thiago Silva when he’s 25 and planning a long career at Chelsea? Will she be on Twitter about (Ben) Chilwell’s poor defending next week?” “Where does it end?” Will he (Nicholas) tweet that Jackson missed a header 2-1? ‘What are you waiting for?’He continued: “I remember having a little party in Liverpool in pre-season with the new players and having some adult entertainment.
One player’s wife decided to call the coach and tell him how disgusting it was to put her husband in this situation. “Men were alienating him because they were saying, ‘What are you doing?’ He spoke quickly. “Anyway, he was a fool and not a popular person.
The man’s wife decided one evening with her partner to tell another Liverpool player that his game was poor and that he needed to sort out his off-field antics. I’m talking about a Liverpool legend.
It would be fair to assume that the Liverpool legend is on the tip of his team-mate’s sharp tongue, but it’s more difficult to pinpoint exactly which “unknown” player Murphy is referring to. The midfielder scored 44 goals and provided 41 assists in 249 appearances for United over seven seasons, helping Gerard Houllier’s side win the treble in 2000/01 along with the League Cup in 2003.
