Brendan Rodgers is like Arsene Wenger, says Kolo Toure

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.”
