da prosport bet： In a way you have to feel a degree of sorrow for Brendan Rodgers, in what can only be described as, a nightmare start to his reign as Reds boss. Three games into the new Premier League campaign and already the vultures of pessimism are circling around Merseyside ready to gnaw a chunk out of Rodgers at every available opportunity. Question marks over his relationship with owner John W. Henry have also come into question after a misunderstanding that saw the Northern Irishman sanction a loan move for Andy Carroll only to learn he wouldn’t have the funds to bring in a replacement. It’s just another off the field distraction that has contributed to a disappointing start to the season. Rodgers’ plan to build a new Anfield dynasty is also under threat after Henry commented in the week that the days of affluent spending is over as the club battle to balance the books in the aftermath of Kenny Dalglish’s catastrophic second spell in the dugout. Altering their recruitment strategy in order to focus on cost effective signings with significant sell on value isn’t necessarily a step back but with the 39-year-old having blown a substantial hole in his budget during the summer is there enough in the pot to strengthen his squad in January?

Quote of the Week

“We are still in the process of reversing the errors of previous regimes. It will not happen overnight. It has been compounded by our own mistakes in a difficult first two years of ownership. It has been a harsh education, but make no mistake, the club is healthier today than when we took over. We will build and grow from within, buy prudently and cleverly and never again waste resources on inflated transfer fees and unrealistic wages. We have no fear of spending and competing with the very best but we will not overpay for players. We will never place this club in the precarious position that we found it in when we took over at Anfield.” John W. Henry defends Liverpool’s new transfer philosophy
