Brendan Rodgers happy with end Results of Liverpool without Suarez

Tags

Many have been wondering how Liverpool will be able to survive without Suarez in the team. But Liverpool fans need not worry as Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers as he is confident of the end results with their recent game against Southampton which ended with a 2-1 win.

IT can be remembered that Suarez bit a player from the opposing team during their games in the FIFA world Cup, Uruguay vs. Italy. Suarez appealed to the FIFA committee on his four month suspension but it was denied. Liverpool then put Suarez for sale and in which Barcelona pursued Suarez to sign up a five year contract worth $130 million.

Although Liverlpool was not impressive during their game against the Southampton's, they were saved by Daniel Sturridge.

According to Rodgers "Our ambitions here at Liverpool have to be bigger than one player. Luis sent us a lovely text (message) this morning wishing us all the best, which was a great gesture. He is a friend now of Liverpool. He's a great boy, but he is gone now."

He added "We are bigger than any player. We do still want another striker, but that will depend on the availability. It was all about winning against Southampton and we got there. As much as the good football we play, it was about grinding it out so I am really happy with that determination and character."

He continued "It was very hard-fought. Just because Southampton have lost players, it's not going to be a walkover. The players are still searching for their fitness, they are still getting their condition and getting themselves back into it. We weren't as fluent, but it was about the win."

This year, Liverpool is not considered as a contender for the title as many believed that Chelsea and Manchester City would most likely come out as the big winners.

It is because of this that Rodgers and the Liverpool team will be striving hard to meet their goal. He said "We believe in the way we work. don't think anyone is giving us any hope of getting in the top four, but that was the expectancy last season as well. We love the challenge. We go into that, look to recreate that, by winning games and performing."

"We are bringing in young players who are ready to go in the team, but there is still a lot of improvement."
