Rodgers will always be compared to the best
When you are the manager of Liverpool, you are always judged by the highest standards.
Brendan Rodgers knows that. He knows he will always be compared to the likes of Paisley, Shankly, Fagan, Dalglish.
I wouldn’t say he is desperate for a trophy, because I think he’s doing a good job regardless. But that first piece of silverware is important, both to him and the team he is moulding.
It is vindication for his methods, proof of his progress. And most importantly, gives the supporters the joy they deserve.
