We need to stick with Rodgers

Liverpool defender Kolo Toure has given a resounding vote of confidence to under-fire manager Brendan Rodgers, likening the Antrim man to Arsene Wenger and insisting the club have to stick by him.

The Ivory Coast international won the Premier League, two FA Cups and finished runner-up in the Champions League in seven years under the Frenchman Wenger Arsenal.

He sees similarities between his current and former boss and believes the 41-year-old will have a similar impact at Anfield given the time to work through his current difficult spell.
