The skipper of Liverpool, Steven Gerrard, has said that the new manager of the club, Brendan Rodgers, is doing a very good job with the young guys in the training sessions and under his guidance, the team would be able to qualify for the Champions League in the upcoming season. Liverpool hasn’t been able to play in the Champions League since the last three seasons. In the last season, they finished at no. 8 in the premier league which was a very poor performance according to the standard of Liverpool. After that, Kenny Dalgish was terminated from the post of the manager.

However, the owners of Liverpool, Tom Werner and John W Henry, have said that Rodgers would not be pressurized and he would be given ample time to build the team. As per Gerrard, if the Liverpool players play up to their potential, the team could easily finish in top 4 in the upcoming season. On being asked about the termination of Dalgish, Gerrard said that the club’s decision to remove Dalgish was an obvious one. Finishing at no. 8 was awful. However, the English midfielder has also said that Dalgish was not solely responsible for the team’s poor performance. The players were equally responsible for that.

Gerrard said that Rodgers has brought a lot of positivity in the camp and he is trying to change the attitude of the team. He wants the team to be more aggressive and play like a champion side. He is a bit different from the other managers and he has his own working style. On being asked about the transfer rumours related to Andy Carroll, Gerrard said that it’s the duty of the management to decide about the transfer issues and he has nothing to do with it.
