Former Liverpool midfielder Bolo Zenden believes supporters will soon turn against Brendan Rodgers, if the Reds boss fails to deliver a trophy in the near future, according to talkSPORT.
Liverpool crashed out of the Capital One Cup semi final on Tuesday night, losing 1-0 to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge after extra time, and 2-1 on aggeragate.
And Zenden – who played in the 2007 Champions League final for the Reds – believes Rodgers needs to win a trophy quickly if he is to maintain the backing of the supporters.
“The way Liverpool have been playing lately has been fantastic,” he said. “Obviously the fans are far more happy now than they were at the beginning of the season, but Liverpool and the fans are always looking for the team not just to win games but to get themselves to a final and win a trophy.
“If there is a [trophy] drought it could start working against Brendan Rodgers.
“If you look at his team, there is a lot of youngsters, a lot of prospects. His average team the other day was 24, I believe,” he said.
“It is a young team and when you look at the other teams they have a lot of experience in there. It is a different ball game if you have that [experience] in your team.”
Rodgers has already lost an awful lot of fans,due too his shambolic buys and pathetic tactics !!! PLAYING WITHOUT A STRIKER AT ANFIELD IS BEYOND A JOKE,AND THE COWARDLY WAY HE SURRENDERED IN MADRID WHICH DESTROYED OUR REPUTATION FOREVER IN EUROPE…GET THIS COWARD OUT OF ANFIELD NOW,AND TAKE AYRE / TRANSFER COMMITTEE / SCOUTING NETWORK WITH YOU…
You can’t be a Liverpool fan! We just don’t have fans that DUMB.
I’ll tell you what’s dumb. Buying Balotelli was dumb. Paying Balotelli 100k a week was dumb. Wasting 100m on half of Southampton’s squad was dumb. Then, after wasting the money on said players, Rogers comes out and says no player would be signed without his say so – also dumb. But to top it all, we bought Origi and instead of just paying a couple of extra million to take him straight away, no, we buy Balotelli for 15 mil and pay him millions more in wages. Would you consider that good management?
What you say about Rodgers is correct, difficult to add anymore…..oh yes One more THE IMPOSTER.
