West Ham star Stewart Downing a danger, admits Brendan Rodgers

Premier League

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers knows his decision to sell Stewart Downing could come back to haunt him again when he comes up against the West Ham star today.

Few questioned Rodgers’ decision to sell Downing to West Ham last season, as despite arriving at Anfield with a £20million (€26 million) price tag on his shirt, Downing struggled to hold down a first-team place with the Reds and often ended up filling in at left-back.
