Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers said he was unaware of the 16th anniversary of captain Steven Gerrard's debut when he left him out against Stoke.
It was the first time Gerrard, 34, had not started a league match since New Year's Day, when he was injured. "I wasn't aware it was 16 years until I walked into the dressing room and saw the programme," Rodgers explained after his side beat the Potters 1-0. "I felt quite bad but he's a wonderful man. He thinks about the team." |

If he's willing to speak like this in public about his players, you wonder what he has said in private.
-------------------------------- “As as a club we felt that buying Mario was the solution at the time,” said Rodgers. “In the summer, we had Rickie Lambert. Fabio Borini looked 100 per cent that he was leaving, and obviously Daniel Sturridge has shown in his career so far that he gets injuries. “To go into the season with no-one else would have been very difficult for us." “It would have been unfair to leave Rickie Lambert, as a 32-year-old, as the only other striker that we had. “I felt it was a risk we needed to take with Mario because, as a group, we couldn’t afford not to a that time. “It was obviously late on and we needed to have someone in. “It’s something that we can’t regret now. I made it clear at the beginning it was a calculated risk - and that is why he probably cost the money he did.” |

Brendan: 'When I first came to Liverpool, I put my principles in place; this is the way I work.
'Once I was bedded in and people understood, I became a little more democratic, more educational. But after Palace, I’m thinking “Right, I need to become autocratic again.” 'I've provided even more clarity, been more concise in the ways of working.' |
