Rodgers knows what he needs to do. Just been on Talkshite.
That tw*t Jason Roberts has said he dodged well when asked about Suarez's future.
Anyway he's after The CL and anybody looking any lower than that should go and seriously give their head a wobble. Minimum requirement if he's backed:
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodger told talkSPORT the Reds can mount a challenge on the Premier League top four next season, following an encouraging debut campaign at the helm of the Merseyside club.
The Northern Irishman’s appointment last summer thought to have marked the beginning of a transitional period at Anfield, following the departure of club legend Kenny Daglish.
And while it wasn’t a dream start for the former new boss’ Liverpool career, succumbing to surprise defeats to West Brom and former club Swansea, the January signings of attacking talents Philippe Coutinho and Daniel Sturridge have ensured the team end the season with the fourth-highest goal tally in the top flight.
The team have struggled with consistency but have undoubtedly improved as the season has progressed, and Rodgers insisted Liverpool can end their four-year Champions League exile next season and push for top four contention.
“In 12 months time I would like to think that we would be challenging for the top four, if not already being in the top four,” said the Liverpool boss.
“This isn’t a club in its history that has played second fiddle, this is a club that has a real rich history and the standards here are as high as anywhere else in the world.
“We’re fighting to improve that...we’re trying to build something here.
“We want to progress and one of the things we wanted to address was the consistency of the group, and over the course of the season we’ve become stronger and stronger.
“We’ve had one defeat in 11 games and when we go into games now we know we can score goals, whereas for the first six months of the season we played with just one striker.
“We know where we need to improve, we’ve finished in the top four in terms of goals scored but also in the top six in terms of goals conceded.
"We’ve drawn 13 games, which is an awful lot, but we’ve proven to be really hard to beat, so we’re looking to make those next steps next season and with some additions in the summer we feel there can be a great opportunity for us.
“I believe we can do that and sustain a challenge right from the off and make another step towards where we want to go.
“Obviously this is a football club that has a demand for trophies, so if we could get a trophy by then as well that would be great progress for us.
“It’s very important to see the development in the team because there’s been a lot of change at the club, but there’s a lot of great work that has been done and we’re very motivated.”
