Brendan Rodgers Blamed For Europa League Defeat By Liverpool Legend

brendan rodgers blamed for europa cup defeat

Brendan Rodgers should be blamed for Liverpool’s defeat in the Europa League final, according to Kopps Legend Mark Lawrenson.

Daniel Sturridge opened the scoring for Jurgen Klopp’s side against Sevilla with a superb strike  but a woeful second half allowed the Spanish club to score three without reply.

Alberto Moreno has been heavily criticised for his performance during the dramatic loss and Lawrenson, who won five league titles and the European Cup during his seven seasons at Liverpool, believes Brendan Rodgers is at fault for deciding to sign the Spanish left-back.

"Let's rewind, Liverpool didn't have by the end of August another player who could play left-back unless they moved Nathaniel Clyne from the right. Jose Enrique was never going to play,” Lawrenson told BBC 5Live.

"I'm sorry, Brendan Rodgers gets the blame for me. Moreno has made mistakes all season, basic errors. Where was he for Villarreal's goal the other week? He was trying to score a goal at the other end."

Kevin Gameiro scored 17 seconds into the second period before two goals in quick succession late on from Coke helped the Spanish outfit lifte their third consecutive Europa League trophy.

Ronaldo is in the running for the Golden Boot after scoring four goals in his opening two fixtures, including a stunning hat-trick against a hotly fancied Spain team. MESSI VS RONALDO DEBATE Meanwhile, Messi just found the back of the net in Russia only in his last outing vs Nigeria and missed a vital penalty in the 1-1 draw with Iceland. These developments led to a spike in support for Ronaldo to be considered the greatest of all time, with this summer exemplifying his brilliant form over the last few years.

Vardy: It Was Easy To Reject Arenal Move

    Jamie Vardy says it was easy for him to reject a move to Arsenal, insisting both his head and his heart told him to stay at Leicester City. After playing a crucial role in last season's surprising Premier League title win, the England international was the subject of a bid from the Gunners which triggered his £22 million release clause. Instead, the striker opted to remain at the King Power Stadium and signed a new deal with the Foxes. And Vardy, 29, says it was an easy decision to make. “I was in a hotel room [in Chantilly] for so many hours of every day with nothing to do. You had a lot of time on your hands," he told The Guardian . “I am not going to beat around the bush – every time I thought about it, and every aspect of it I thought about, both my head and my heart were saying to stay at Leicester, which is why I made my decision to stay. “There were loads of reasons. You get that much time to think about, every single thing down to the tea lady. You think about w...
