If, totally hypothetically, I was going to become Liverpool manager one day I know who I’d love to have as my assistant: Xabi Alonso or Jamie Carragher. They are very intelligent, have a deep knowledge of football and are special men. The players would respect them, the fans would like them and I think we would work really well together. I’ve never mentioned it to either Xabi or Jamie, so I think they’ll be surprised if they read about it. Xabi might go on to be a great manager himself - and so I feel a bit embarrassed admitting that a managerial fantasy would be him working alongside me.

"Klopp is willing to talk to Liverpool" - Tony Barrett

If Liverpool do decide to make a change, then they should talk to Klopp at the very least. John Henry was an admirer when he took over. The suggestions are that Liverpool wouldn’t pursue Klopp if Rodgers does go. I can’t work it out as it smacks of arrogance. Klopp is willing to talk to Liverpool, a club which has finished outside of top 4 in 5 of last 6 seasons. It’s not as if Liverpoolwill have their pick of elite managers.

If Liverpool aren’t playing well & results are poor, then heightened scrutiny is absolutely inevitable. The manager, whoever he may be, has to accept that because it goes hand in hand with being manager of one the world’s biggest and most newsworthy clubs. It’s also one of the reasons why they get paid millions of pounds for doing the job.

John Henry is not the pivotal figure that he once was. Mike Gordon’s influence is now strongest. He has a hands on role at Liverpool. There’s nothing to suggest that there’s any kind of split at Liverpool on Rodgers.

I have no problem with managers saying what they think. I do think Rodgers would have been better waiting for a winning run before going on the offensive. He’s feeling the pressure,& I got the impression he was trying to create siege mentality. When you do that, though, you have to win your next big game or else your critics will just up the ante. It was a big gamble/mad risk considering Liverpool’s next big game is the derby.

Liverpool as a club are not creating the conditions for success. They don’t sign elite players & they allow ones they have to leave. They prioritise potential over experience & then wonder why they have no leaders. At some point the penny will drop. There will be a realisation at Liverpool that the whole club is struggling to be the best it can be and its not just down to the manager.

I agree that Rodgers has to take the criticism as it goes with the territory, the salary & profile. It wasn’t so long ago that he was hailed as a tactical genius, so now critics have gone other way, Rodgers has to accept it.
