Thegoalmac understands that Kolo Toure has likened under-fire boss Brendan Rodgers to his old manager Arsene Wenger and is confident the Northern Irishman can turn Liverpool’s season around.
I don't really know if its a compliment anymore when someone says another coach is like Wenger, Lol. Anyways Kolo has played for Wenger before so maybe he should know better than us. You think they are both similar too?
“I do see Wenger in him, because he’s so intelligent. He knows how to
speak to players and how to get the best out of them,” Toure is quoted
in The Mirror. “He will prove that, because we will come out of this hard time.
“Just look at what he’s done during a short time here. When he arrived
Liverpool were doing badly. He came in and brought the club a long way
up.
“Maintaining it is more difficult than first coming up
there. I think he is learning. This season is a learning process but he
will get there.
“Last season was unbelievable. This season has
been more tough. We need to stick with Brendan though, because he’s one
of the best managers in the Premier League.
“At the end of the
day, he’s a fair guy who is working hard and gives 100 per cent every
day. Like Arsene, he’s always there at training, trying to improve
things. His style of play is also similar. He always wants us to pass
the ball and keep playing which is very important.”
Liverpool
succumbed to a late draw against Ludogorets on Wednesday night meaning
they not won a Champions League encounter since September, but Toure
believes Rodgers is simply adapting to the Champions League.
“This is the first time he has managed in the Champions League,” the Ivory Coast centre-back added.
“He is learning. The Champions League is tough. We’ve seen it with
teams like City, who have found it tough. You have to learn about it.
“You need time as a manager. I think he has done a great job for this
club and we like him. He works so hard and gives 100%. That’s why I am
sure we will get out of this spell we’re in.”
