Kampusbet -  Liverpool's Brendan Rodgers feels under no greater pressure to win after £80m summer spending spree 

 

 

 

Judi Online -  Brendan Rodgers insists he doesn’t feel under increased pressure to deliver following Liverpool’s £80million spending spree this summer.

The Reds' boss admits the torrid end to last season, which culminated in the 6-1 thrashing at Stoke, left him needing some time away.

However, Rodgers says he is now fully focused on putting his Anfield reign back on track, and has praised owners Fenway Sports Group for backing him in the transfer market.

Liverpool have made seven signings this summer with the £29million deal for Roberto Firmino followed by the £32.5million swoop for Christian Benteke.

“The pressure is no different to any other season,” Northern Irishman Rodgers said.

“When I came in, from day one, there was always pressure here to perform. This season is no different.

“There is no question that I was bitterly disappointed last season. There were a number of factors and reasons, but it doesn’t matter, we were disappointing so we have to be better.

“I think it was hugely disappointing at the end of last season. For the first time I felt I needed the break.

"That week to two weeks after the end of the season was invaluable time, but if you want to improve you have to refocus very quickly.”

Rodgers believes areas of weakness from last season have been addressed with the new recruits.

“We needed to improve the squad, when you’re a top team any manager will tell you that you want to improve the club,” he said. “We have made signings and we hope they will come in and make a huge impact.

“For me the owners have been brilliant since the first day I walked in. I take nothing for granted.

“They have been great supporters of myself, they believe in my work and my job is just to work well with the team and finish as high as we can.”
