TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers must keep his job, but the club should sell Mario Balotelli and buy a defender, according to former Wales midfielder Robbie Savage as reported by BBC Sport.
Rodgers has come under pressure after a start to the season that has left the Reds 11th in the Premier League and out of the Champions League.
But Savage said: "Rodgers is the man that deserves to take them forward.
"I'd try and get as much money as you can for Balotelli in the January transfer window."
Balotelli has scored only two goals in 15 appearances since joining Liverpool from AC Milan for £16m in August.
"His goal scoring record for AC Milan and everywhere he's been has been ok, so, for £16m, he was worth taking a chance," Savage told BBC.
