The Merseyside outfit, who experienced an abysmal last season, have been heavily criticized for their shocking summer transfer deals. The club lost the services of Andy Carroll, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Craig-Bellamy-c9471, and it was believed that their
exit would pave way for new quality strikers.
Instead, the Northern Irishman could only claim the signatures of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Oussama-Assaidi-c28900, after seeing his last gasp effort to land Fulham’s Clint Dempsey get thwarted by Tottenham Hotspur.
The cracks in the team’s attack were badly exposed in their previous game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429, in which they suffered a 2-0 defeat despite creating a host of opportunities.
According to some reporters, the Ulsterman’s failure to land in a striker on the transfer deadline day owes much to the reluctance of the owners to spend money. Consequently, some speculations have emerged that the owners and the management are currently
at loggerheads with each other.
However, Rodgers has termed all such rumours as baseless. He mentioned that John Henry and co have always been honest with him, and they were the reason why he opted to join Liverpool at the first place.
“I’ve got to say they have been very honest and very up front right from the off. I came here first and foremost because of the owners. I felt a genuine honesty in their approach to it and in how they wanted to go forward with the football club. Of course
the window didn’t quite go to plan but going forward a great deal of learning has taken place,” he told the reporters.
Speaking of his side’s poor start to the season, the Northern Irishman commented that he has set long-term targets for the Merseyside club. Hence, he felt that the team might have to go through a difficult period, before reclaiming their lost glory.
“I knew there would be a wee bit of pain in the short term but hopefully for the longer term gain.”
