Brendan Rodgers: Ill ultimately be judged on winning games for #LFC It is a feat the Northern Irishman has watched his team achieve more often than not throughout the fledgling months of the 2013-14 season, as the Reds sit second in the Barclays Premier League. Rodgers has previously spoken of his commitment to creating a side which produces a stylish brand of football, but acknowledged that pragmatism is of crucial importance too. Were trying to win. When youre a big club, ultimately thats what youre judged on, Rodgers explained to ESPN. But theres a process - when I arrived 17 months ago, the club was in eighth position, reached a couple of cup finals and won one of them. The improvements we needed to make were in the league. We needed to be more consistent and that has been one of the elements that I have been really pleased with. After that opening period of four or five months, the consistency within the team has been very good. The core idea is to win, but its to win in style and win in a certain way. Whenever you go into any season, you dont set out to finish fourth or third, you always set out to win and be the best that you possibly can be. But you also have to be realistic as well - its unprecedented for any team to go from eighth or seventh and win the league. But that doesnt stop us fighting to arrive there. Were looking to introduce our identity to the team and that is going to take a bit of time. But what I have got from the players is the personality and fight; thats something that is very important in football, as well as the ability. #saurabh
