Jamie Carragher has warned that only the strongest Liverpool players will survive their disastrous season.
The defender, 31, has watched Anfield wannabes come and go during his 15 years playing in front of the Kop.
And Carragher believes that it is only in the dark days that true Liverpool players show their real colours.
Manager Rafa Benitez has seen the club hit the lowest point of his tenure with Liverpool dropping down the table and already out of the Champions League.
Carragher (below) said: “Good players who have done well at lesser clubs have come here and not been able to deal with the pressure.
“When the dust has settled after a rough patch, the ones still here are the strongest players.
“You’ve got to be able to take the knocks if you’re going to play for Liverpool.”
Team boss Benitez admits he will have to clear some players out to fund his January transfer window targets.
The Spaniard is hoping to offload Ryan Babel, 23, Andrea Dossena, 28, and Andriy Voronin, 30, as he looks to generate cash.
Benitez said: “We know that we will have to manage the squad if we want to make some changes in January.”
