EX-LIVERPOOL STRIKER El Hadji Diouf has hit out again at Steven Gerrard – branding the former Anfield captain an “egotist”.
The pair have traded insults regularly over previous years, with Gerrard labelling Diouf’s behaviour as “contemptuous and spiteful” in relation to an incident where he spat at Celtic fans during Liverpool’s visit to Parkhead in 2003.
This year Diouf accused Gerrard of not liking black people – accusations branded “completely false” by the former England captain’s representatives.
In a fresh interview this week, Diouf again criticised Gerrard while branding long-time team-mate and fellow Liverpool great Jamie Carragher as a “turkey”.
Steven Gerrard is a great club player but an egotist,” he told SoFoot.com.
“He didn’t care about Liverpool winning – all that mattered for him was getting on the scoresheet.
“I would offer him a stay in Senegal so that he sees how I am a king at home.”
Turning to Carragher, Diouf added: “He was the biggest turkey I’ve seen on a pitch. I found him useless.”
Carragher has since responded via Twitter:
I’ll be honest with ya, as a Man Utd fan I’ve obviously always hated Liverpool though I’ve always had a massive respect for their history and everything they’ve achieved in the game.
But the one thing I’ll never forgive those shower of @rseholes for is bringing El Hadji Diouf to the Premier League.
Do you live in England?
Go away Kevin.
El Hadji was always a bit bonkers
Anybody can be a big fish in a poverty stricken pond like Senegal. The guy was and still is a knacker on and off the pitch.
Looks like his ego is bruised and he’s having a pop at two Liverpool legends because it didn’t quite work out for him at Anfield. His antics could be half excused if he was anyway decent at football, but he was an overpaid spoiled brat. One of the first in modern football. A bit like Balotelli.
Balotelli is an angel compared to this guy
Balotelli is just a bit mad but in a harmless way. This guy is a thug and a S bag.
Ah get lost off Diouf. Grade A+ tw@bag. Possibly, no definitely, the worst player I’ve ever seen play for Liverpool both his performances and attitude combined. Only number 9 in Liverpool’s history to go an entire season without scoring i believe. Even bloody Aspas got a goal!!
“He’s a sewer rat”!! ” no that would be an insult to a sewer rat”!
Baffling to think that in summer 2002 houllier said that diouf and salif diao were the 2 signings that would take liverpool to the next level,a year after they won a cup treble.houllier did as much damage to liverpool as souness did
Have to agree with his comment about carragher (the turkey) sliding all over the place last ditch tackles 10 fouls a game, couldn’t read the game.!!!!
Nice trolling
Couldn’t read the game. Haha stop now will you. Between 05-07 carra was 1 of the best centre half’s in the world. His performance against Milan in 05 was IMO his best ever game.
Thanks bud, just seeing how many red thumbs I could get
Sure what else would you be at haha.
Ah matching beards. How cute.
Cashin in on red thumbs?
Gerrard is a bit of a dick
What does the D stand for in your name there?
A turkey haha
He’s obviously looking for attention, I mean why on earth would he bring race into it? Pathetic just like himself.
To think ” Houilier” signed him over ” Anelka” !
I’m confused by your use of inverted commas. Do Houllier and Anelka not exist?
Diouf, has to one of the worst players ever to play professional football, the fact Ireland’s assistant manager signed him for Sunderland is frightening.
He won African player of the year 2 years in a row and starred at a world cup. hardly the achievements of one of the worst players in the history of professional football. just because he is unbelievably unlikeable doesn’t mean he was a useless player.
I have no opinion on him as a person, but as a player good God, I’ve no doubt he’s won African player of the year or whatever, that’s probably why Liverpool bought him, but once he hit the UK, he’s been absolutely awful. Even Rangers couldn’t find a place for him in Scotland for more than one season .
Even George Weahs fake cousin did better.
Shhh Stephen you can’t question roy keane here. Even if he was a rubbish manager
Mines a lot bigger now bud. Thanks tho
Ha!
