The Northern Irishman fielded a new-look side against Manchester City in the previous game at Anfield. Raheem Sterling, Joe Allen, Sebastian Coates and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-Borini-c13163 all appeared in the starting-eleven, to form the club’s youngest ever team in almost ten
years.
The decision turned out to be a fruitful one, as the Reds put up a remarkable show, and shared the spoils via a 2-2 draw, in a match which could have gone their way had it not been for a defensive error from Martin Skrtel.
Nonetheless, as the Ulsterman sets out on the aim of helping his side finish inside the top-four, he revealed that his strategy will involve giving more playing time to the youngsters.
He was of the opinion that Liverpool were not in a position to compete with some of their English rivals on the financial front, and hence, he plans on polishing the skills and abilities of the squad’s youth.
While talking to reporters, he said: “This might be a good opportunity for them. Because we don't have the money that some of our rivals have, I want to make the philosophy through the club that allows us to bring players from the academy into the first
team.”
One player who has specifically caught the attention of many is Raheem Sterling. The 17-year old put up a scintillating show against the Citizens, and has already been labelled by some pundits as the rising Premier League star.
Consequently, the winger has emerged in some rumours of his possible move away from Anfield on loan, in order for him to get more exposure and playing experience.
However, Rodgers moved to dispel such speculations. He unearthed that he plans on utilizing the player’s talent to his best advantage this season, and viewed him as a valuable future asset for the Reds.
“I am certain over the next few years that he will develop into a very good footballer - we just have to make sure that we keep the pressure off him,” he added.
