The Liverpool defender has admitted that his side has improved this season under the supervision of Brendan Rodgers
The Reds’ hopes for a top-four finish were dashed further when they played a 0-0 draw against West Ham United at Anfield this weekend. The home side had most of the chances but the players failed to convert them into goals and the match ended in a stalemate.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 manager and the tactician has somewhat impressed with his tactics.
The defender hit back at criticism that the manager has failed to qualify for a place in the top four for the team. He states that the revival will take time and the change cannot take place overnight. He admitted that the team is on the right path and is confident that the Reds will be on their way up from next season onwards.
“Brendan was brought in to rebuild the squad and put Liverpool back into the places that it should be. He wants to put us back in the top four, but he wasn’t asked to do that in his first season,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 man stressed that even though Liverpool won a trophy last term under Kenny Dalglish, the side is better off this season with the new manager. He added that Liverpool belong to the UEFA Champions League and should be playing amongst the top teams in Europe.
“You look at the squad we have, the feeling that there is around the place, the football that we are playing and, eight times out of ten, we have been battering teams. That wasn’t the case last season. We won a trophy last season and, of course, that was fantastic. But in terms of getting Liverpool back where they belong, we want to be back in the top four,” he concluded.
Liverpool will next take on Reading in an away game in their next English Premier League fixture. They will be facing Chelsea in their next league game.
