Brendan Rodgers would still the Liverpool manager

Luis Suarez’s Liverpool exit following Steven Gerrard’s infamous slip, left Liverpool in tatters. Rodgers, meanwhile, was left trying to steady a sinking ship. After a torrid campaign where they ended in 6th, Rodgers was sacked midway through the 2015/16 season.

But the Northern Irelander would easily have retained the reigns at Liverpool had he managed a trophy, which he would have if he still had the Uruguayan in his team.

It would be hard to imagine a club of Liverpool’s stature sacking Rodgers if he had won trophies and he would still be the Reds’ manager today.

Rodgers, to his credit, played a brand of football the Premier League had not seen in quite a while. The 2013/14 Reds were astonishingly quick in attack and disregarded defence somewhat alarmingly.

The Merseyside club scored 101 goals that season, a feat only matched by Manchester City in the past 6 seasons and fans were happy with what they were seeing.
