Moses unfit for Liverpool jersey

This is not the best of time for Nigeria international,Victor Moses as Liverpool legend, John Aldridge feels the AFCON star is operating on a borrowed time, with no desire and spirit to play for the club.

The Red former striker said, "
"Victor was handed a big opportunity when Brendan Rodgers brought him to Liverpool from Chelsea last summer," Aldridge wrote in his Liverpool Echo column.
"Not many players get the chance to go out on loan to a bigger club but I don't think he realises how lucky he is.
"The Nigeria international could have no complaints about being hauled off at half-time of Sunday's 2-0 win over Oldham.

"He looked completely disinterested in that opening 45 minutes and gave the manager little option.

"There was no desire, no spirit. Maybe he's lacking a bit of confidence or maybe he's just unhappy because he's played so little recently. He has let himself [down] at Liverpool."

Aldridge thinks Liverpool would have been better served keeping winger Oussama Assaidi - who they loaned out to Stoke City - instead of signing Moses.

And he also believes that Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers should investigate the possibility of trying to cancel Moses' loan.

"Hindsight is a great thing but we would have been better off keeping Oussama Assaidi and not signing Moses," he added. "Assaidi has contributed a lot more for Stoke during his loan spell than Moses has for us.

"I don't know whether Chelsea would agree to take him back as they've got a big squad but it might be in everyone's best interests if the loan is cancelled.

"If Moses wants to stay at Liverpool until the end of the season then he needs to buck his ideas up. He's in a precarious position. He needs to realise that and start fighting for a shirt."

Match-fixing: Sodje claims he was framed

Nigeria defender Sam Sodje has maintained he was set up leading up to match-fixing allegations against him in England.

  

Sodje, who was quizzed by security agent alongside his brother Akpo Sodje and other four players over the allegations, said there was nothing like that and that he will not want to talk more on it as his lawyer is on top of the situation.

  

"The match fixing allegation was a set up, I don't care about what people believe, but the truth will be revealed soon. What people watch was a five minute video but that video was recorded over nine months,Sodje told the newspaper Complete Sports.

  

“I don't want to say much on the case as my lawyer is on it. The whole world will know the truth soon. They will be put to shame."

  

Sodje is under investigation after he allegedly boasted he deliberately got sent off and was paid 70,000 pounds.

  

The National Crime Agency is now investigating this claim, which was captured on camera.

  

The Football League said they will give the police the full assistance in this investigation.

  

According to Sun of Sunday, it was alleged that Sodje, who was capped by the Super Eagles and played in the EPL, made sure he was sent off during a game involving his club Portsmouth and Oldham Athletic this year.

  

Sodje allegedly showed footage of himself hitting Oldham's Jose Baxter and told the Sun reporter:

  

"OK listen. this is when I was playing. Do you know how much I got for that? £70k. Do you know how much I got fined? I got fined ten grand and I missed six games.”
