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.
