How severe every league club manager passes through can never be imagined by anyone except those who have passed through a similar situation in English soccer where expectations are quite high, hence whenever anyone fails to deliver, pressure builds up over him to either quit or satisfy not only the bosses but fans as well. We have seen how instant actions were taken against the top mentors of some big sides when they could not deliver what bosses and fans had expected from them. Liverpool is one such side who is not up to the mark in this season in both domestic as well European front and its boss Brendan Rodgers seems like passing through the same situation Manchester United’s David Moyes or many others have gone through in the past. Though, he has until been denied of any stress over him to perform well, but fans know it is now a do-or-die situation for the Irish if he wants to keep his Anfield job. Former Liverpool great Jamie Carragher is the man who seriously believes that it is most difficult time for the forty-one-year old since he has not been successful off late both in and out of the field and according to many insiders he could lose his job should Reds do not show a significant improvement.
Look at the Sunday game with Manchester United that they lost by 3-0 margin dropping to tenth place in the leaderboard and if they want to qualify for the next Championship league they still need seven good points to finish among top four. Since it is almost the middle of English season, we can expect their comeback, but factually, it is their worst show in last fifty years. Talking about pressure Rodgers should have been passing through, Carragher said, “Brendan Rodgers is under pressure. The owners were ruthless with Kenny and Roy. You go out against Bournemouth and then you have Arsenal. He was Manager of the Year but he has to get results.
“You expect them to do well after spending that kind of money. They are looking to be in the top four but they have failed in the Champions League. It will be hard to catch United because they are not in Europe. Arsenal will be going for fourth as well. If they don’t get top four then he will be under pressure.”
