TEMPO.CO, Bournemouth – Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is sitting on a hotseat, following a series of terrible results that struck last season’s Premier League runner-up.
Liverpool are now outside of the top ten Premier League and losing their Champions League campaign. Even worse, the Reds were recently sacked by Manchester United at the Old Trafford last weekend.
Therefore, a number of speculations rose up to challenge Rodgers’ post in Merseyside. Rumor has it that Liverpool management will sack Rodgers if the Reds fail to show improvement in the few upcoming matches.
The first to reckon in definitely tonight’s Capital One League Cup quarterfinal, in which Liverpool will take on Bournemouth. Although taking on Championship division club seems to be an easy task for Rodgers, The Cherries are a force to consider, given the fact that they are Championship league runner.
Prior to the match, comments have been seen cornering Rodgers, with former Liverpool player Jamie Carragher and Jimmy Case calling that Rodgers may meet his end tonight.
On the other hand, Rodgers himself seems busy evaluating his team, rotating less influential players such as Simon Mignolet and Mario Balotelli. Nevertheless, Rodgers’ fate on Liverpool is more likely to be determined tonight.
