If you have missed Brendan Rodgers comments on Alex Fergusons Autobiography, which has caused some amount of chaos around the sporting world, here you go.... “I think there is a sadness to it, as this is something that will probably stay with people for a long while. “I think every football person would have enjoyed seeing him going out and leaving the legacy he had done. But now people are only going to talk about his comments in the book.” Rodgers was less courteous over Ferguson’s attacks on Gerrard - who the Scot claimed was “not a top, top player”, and Henderson - who Fergie bizarrely suggested ran in too upright a manner, which would lead to injury problems. The Kop boss said: “It was a breach of etiquette, and it surprised me, coming from someone with such a status in the game. As someone who has worked with young players he must understand the impact his words can have. “Jordan is an incredible athlete, and for a young player making his way in the game, those comments could be damaging. I would hope that if Ferguson bumps into Jordan, he would apologise for that. “As for Steven, it’s not credible really, he must be the only one in football who doesn’t think he’s a top, top player.” Rodgers insists he is proud of the history and dignity of Liverpool as a club. He hinted that bitterness built up over the years when the Anfield side dominated English football may be behind a lot of the sour grapes. “When you have been a successful club like Liverpool, chasing them for so many years, you have to find ways of bringing them down. But this is a club that has class, a club that has history,” he added. Rodgers had one last response to Ferguson’s jibes, when asked about the claim he is eight players away from winning the title: “Eight? Well at least that’s probably two less than they need to win the league then....!” To say Gerrard wasnt a top player after scoring so many times against Manchester UTD and them wanting to sign him, must be a bit tongue in cheek.
