Diouf lays into Gerrard yet again

Former Liverpool and Rangers attacker El Hadji Diouf has reopened his longrunning feud with former captain Steven Gerrard after claiming the midfielder “did nothing for his country”.

The former Senegal international, whose dire spell at Anfield brought just six goals in 80 appearances, has history with Gerrard stretching back to 2007 when the Reds captain criticised him in his autobiography.

Diouf said: “Stevie G was a very good player. People like him in Liverpool, but he never did anything for his country.

“I am Mr El Hadji Diouf, Mr Senegal, but he is Mr Liverpool and Senegal is bigger than Liverpool and he has to know that.”
