He claimed it had been misinterpreted.”"Glenn said his comments were about five or six of the young players who have all got to keep their feet on the ground, all have to be sensible on and off the pitch and all have a chance of going to the World Cup finals.”He said to me that he hadn’t said anything bad against Michael and I just said the lads had to be sensible. You will have to see the boss.”Liverpool are touchy about the growth of the Spice Boys tag attached to Steve McManaman, Robbie Fowler, Jamie Redknapp and David James after last season’s championship collapse.Evans said: “Glenn rang me this morning to explain what he had said.
