Thegoalmac has learned that Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is adamant that there is no dressing-room unrest at Anfield.
After
pushing Manchester City close in the Premier League title race last
season, the Reds have struggled to recapture that form in 2014-15.
For me Liverpool is in crisis and I won't be surprised if they are having issues in their dressing room. Read what Brendan said after the cut and tell us if you think he should be sacked or not?
Out
of the Champions League and 11th in the top-flight table, they have the
chance to put a more positive spin on their campaign when they travel to
Championship leaders Bournemouth in the League Cup quarter-final on
Wednesday.
In his pre-match news conference, Rodgers was asked
about any possible unrest among the squad, claims which he unequivocally
denied.
"Our dressing room is very strong. Our captain is a strong leader.
Anything said about any unrest is totally untrue," he insisted.
"We are relaxed but focused on our work and more driven to get results. We are looking to fight to improve.
"When
you manage at Liverpool, there is always going to be pressure. The
expectancy on us this year is how we played last season. This year the
dynamic has totally changed.
"Internally we are very stable. We
are disappointed, of course, with how things are going. There is still a
long way to go in the league and the points difference can be made up."
Turning
his attentions to Wednesday's encounter, Rodgers was full of praise for
the work that his counterpart, Eddie Howe, has done on the south coast.
"Eddie
Howe has done a brilliant job at Bournemouth," he said. "Top of the
Championship, which is a tough league. They are very much a team. It
will be a difficult game but it is a challenge the players are really up
for.
"[Getting through] would give us confidence. Results
haven't been totally what we would've wanted. This is the first cup
competition you can see in the season so, for me, it was always a
priority. The aim is to go on and win the competition."
