Hard Tackle By the time he had finished celebrating, Brendan Rodgers had encroached a good 10 yards on to the Anfield pitch. It’s not like he’s feeling the pressure at Liverpool this season. Outpourings of emotion are typically reserved for late in the season, and against stronger opposition than poor, depleted Southampton. Yet times have changed at Liverpool. Despite the loss of Luis Suarez, there is now great expectation. Serious money has been reinvested, serious strengthening work done. As last season’s runners-up, Rodgers knows what is now expected and for much of the second-half his team looked barely capable of delivering it. Southampton, pillaged by the Premier League elite in the close season, were the better side from the restart and were playing as if capable of collecting the most unlikely away win since, well, Swansea City’s at Old Trafford on Saturday. And Rodgers has revealed Luis Suarez sent him a text wishing his former club the best for their clash with Southampton on Sunday. The Reds started life post-Suarez with a 2-1 win after the Uruguayan left the club in the summer for £75million to move to Barcelona. Question Do see Liverpool dropping out of the top 4 at the end of this season?
