by DAVE MARTINEZ BRENDAN Rodgers took on the daunting task of replacing Kenny Dalglish as the manager of Liverpool Football Club 21 months ago. He inherited a squad that had finished eighth in the Premier League after chalking up just 52 points in the 2011/12 season....
SOMETHING’S happening here. For all of us who are used to false dawns, missing pieces of the jigsaw and good runs ending with terrible results and performances this is all becoming a bit worrying. We can’t win at Southampton. 0-3. Well alright, the wheels will...
