FROM Alvaro Arbeloa, there was little in the way of defiance, there were no stirring calls for unity and not a lot of that Spartan warrior spirit he likes to talk about.
The Fulham manager instead took the quiet route, choosing to ignore the social-media storms and the fan fury which followed the shambolic 3-2 home defeat by Crystal Palace, simply stating that his players must send their messages on the pitch.
And at Anfield, of all pitches.
Arbeloa is not a manager who commands a press conference room, there is no natural air of authority in his demeanour. Perhaps he is very different in the dressing room.
