Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers sets his sights on a top-two finish
Brendan Rodgers has challenged his Liverpool players to continue their winning form after targeting a top-two finish in the Premier League.
The Reds entertain Aston Villa on Saturday looking for a third straight league win - something they have not achieved since the 2010-11 season.
"We are 11 points off second and that can all turn around very quickly so you need to get consistency," said Liverpool manager Rodgers.
"That is what we have at the minute."

Liverpool's last five finishes

2011-12: 8th (Kenny Dalglish)
2010-11: 6th (Roy Hodgson; Kenny Dalglish)
2009-10: 7th (Rafael Benitez)
2008-09: 2nd (Rafael Benitez)
2007-08: 4th (Rafael Benitez)​

Liverpool start the weekend in 10th place in the table, their highest position in what has so far been a frustrating season.
The last time they finished second was in 2008-09, when they led the table over Christmas only to finish four points behindchampions Manchester United.
But back-to-back victories over Southampton and West Ham, together with a 1-0 win at Udinese in the Europa League on 6 December, have convinced Rodgers that his players are beginning to make progress under his leadership.
"They have been hammered left, right and centre by numbers of people," he added.
"But for a club that has been very poor and disastrous, by all accounts from other people, we lie four points off top four.
"When you are a club that is the size of Liverpool then that criticism comes.
"But I was quite calm because their [the players'] focus and concentration has been first class, our mentality was very much relaxed as we can only worry about ourselves.
"We know what will come our way when you don't win games and we are trying to still improve.
"Everyone has their opinion on Liverpool and I understand that because of the standards set by this club in the 1970s and 1980s."

Since it's Friday, i'll have what he's on.

Hes a boss

Speak like Rodgers: rub your fingers against your lips and go blub-blub-blub!

 

[hmmmmm1]

A few weeks ago he was saying finishing 8th or higher would be an achievement.

This can only mean one thing, we are spending big in Jan 🙂

Well, one can dream anyway!

 

[SummerOnions]

I like Rodgers.

 

[Hansern]

Yep, me too!
Why not aim for the top. Thats the only way forward!

 

[Modo]

In it to win it.

 

[Delinquent]

Bit of a misleading headline really. He just says that we're 11 points off second. I am a Rodgers fan though. I find him a bit cringy, but I think the same would be true of most Premier League managers if their lives were documented in the same way that his has been since he joined Liverpool.

 

[tombrown]

Wimp!
Second - my hole! We're gonna win it

 

[Dreambeliever]

We'll be fourth before we play Utd.

 

[Dreambeliever]

Ha nice

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Yes yes Brendan. I'm aiming to be a billionaire by next December but I keep it to myself cos...well...you know...

 

[Insignificance]

He can fuck off. Not one single decision made by him today looked like a top 4 manager. Not a single one.

But hey... Talking is tough too!!
