The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 FC manager has denied reports that his side is over reliant on Luis Suarez and wants more players in the summer transfer window
Brendan Rodgers has denied any reports suggesting that Liverpool heavily rely on Suarez. The Uruguayan international is out with a 10-game ban for biting http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 in a Premier League game. Many have pointed
out that the side has suffered heavily in the absence of Suarez.
However, Rodgers thinks that it has been a team effort this season. He stated that Liverpool is not a one-man team and pointed out contributions from the other team members also.
The tactician claimed that Suarez has been magnificent this season but in the two games he has not played recently, the team has found the net an impressive nine times. He added that the Uruguayan has had a huge impact but the
team has helped him achieve the feat.
“If you are the second-highest scorers away, it’s not really just one guy who is doing it. That was proved last week, absolutely. Luis hasn’t played two games and we’ve scored nine goals away from home [in those two matches]. It’s
a bit unfair to say we were totally reliant on him, although Luis did his http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 really well, there’s no doubt,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
On the other hand, the tactician stressed on the importance of squad depth. He claimed that Liverpool need more players in every position so that there is a competition for places and some players can be rested.
“[Suarez] has been the striker who has been fit, available and playing. Maybe if I had depth to the group I would have had him on the bench in games, rested him and put others in,” the former Swansea City manager concluded.
Liverpool will be taking on Fulham at the Craven Cottage in their next English Premier League game. The side drew 0-0 against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c39043 at home last weekend as both sides failed to find the net in the allotted 90 minutes. The Reds
need three points desperately as they look to finish higher on the table.
