Agen Klik4D  -    Brendan Rodgers insists he is still hungry for success at Liverpool and vowed to get past the "frenzy" surrounding his future.

Pressure was eased slightly following the 3-2 win over Aston Villa on Saturday, as Daniel Sturridge scored a brace on his return to action at Anfield. 

After the match, Rodgers responded to what he believes is a campaign to get him sacked - and claimed the scrutiny of life at Liverpool is greater than at any other club, report the Liverpool Echo.

However, he reiterated his determination to remain in the job and transform his Anfield reign.

“There has been a frenzy, there is no doubt about that, to get me out of here,” Rodgers said.

Whether that’s a Liverpool hysteria or a big club hysteria, I am not so sure. The scrutiny here is obviously greater, for me, than at any club.

“It is a huge club and as a manager you know that and deal with it.

“I am fine. You know what comes from leadership and being a manager. I’ve never got too carried away when we’ve won, and not too disappointed when we’ve lost.

“I have a hunger to succeed here. I know last season and this there have been a lot of things going against us, but we’ve always managed to stick together and improve together.

The players and staff are very much together, fighting to be better and to live up to the expectations we create ourselves that is to be the best. With players returning we can have a great season.

With me there is no drama, I only worry about the team.”

Rodgers believes the criticism he has been subjected to has been unfair considering how close he came to winning the title two seasons ago and the issues he’s been wrestling with since.

Luis Suarez, Steven Gerrard and Raheem Sterling have all left, while Sturridge has only recently returned to action after an injury plagued 12 months.

This season his squad has been depleted with captain Jordan Henderson, Christian Benteke, Roberto Firmino and Dejan Lovren all currently sidelined.

“It’s not about proving people wrong,” Rodgers said.

“I think I have shown in the early stages of my management – without being arrogant – that with a talented group of players I can compete at the top end of the league.

“There are very short memories in football. The team was eighth when I got here and we built and produced a team to excite people throughout European football that should have won the league.

It didn’t but nobody even expected us to be near the top four. I know how to manage top players and build and manage an exciting group, but when you lose that or those players are not available and you have to piece it together, that takes time. Then all the good work gets forgotten. That’s how it works.

“My only gripe is that it seems the focus has not been on what’s gone on and what we’ve been missing, but more about getting me out of the club. That’s sad.

“I am the same man who nearly won us the game, but better. If you give me the tools I’ll do the work.”
