The Week in Football – Liverpool FC:

Monday:

“I’ve always said if the owners want me to go, then I go,” said Rodgers, who has won two of his last nine games.

“For everybody connected with Liverpool, we are all embarrassed by that result.”

Asked about his rebuilding plans, Rodgers added:

“There’s an awful lot of work to do and the job is to now go and fix that, and make sure we come back with a motivation greater than ever to push on next season.

“We’ve finished the season in sixth, which is where we deserve to finish.

“We have to now start, today, on the climb to get back up again.”
