Ex-Liverpool star, Luis Suarez, has urged the club to stick by Brendan Rodgers despite the poor start to the new campaign.
The Reds are ninth in the Premier League and have already lost six games, the same amount of games they lost in the whole of last season.
As well as their slow start to the league, Liverpool are already out of the Champions League after finishing third in their group, behind Real Madrid and FC Basel.
A lot of the issues at Anfield are due to Suarez’s sale to Barcelona, and their failure to replace him, but the Uruguayan has urged the club to keep with Rodgers and avoid sacking him.
‘Liverpool will be disappointed not to progress out of their group, but the most important thing is that they were back playing at the highest level this season and it gives them something to build on,’ Suarez said.
‘The reason they were back playing Champions League football is because of Brendan Rodgers – and he is the right man to guide them back there again next season.
‘They must qualify for The Champions League next season. If it comes via the league or winning the Europa League – it is not important how.
‘This season can’t be a one off, though, because the Champions League is where the club belongs and it is what the fans expect.’
Suarez joined Barca over the Summer in a deal worth £75million, but Rodgers has failed to replace him as of yet.
