“There were gasps of surprise the country over when last week’s Premier League results came in and Aston Villa had won 3-1 at Anfield, but it was just further proof that Liverpool are currently a club in transition. People seemed to assume when Brendan Rodgers came that he was going to turn it around instantly – that just isn’t realistic. He’s got a young team and I think the players and fans need to have maximum patience at the moment – there’s no quick overnight fix. A match against notoriously poor travellers Fulham this weekend, therefore, comes at a very useful time for Brendan & Co.” ESPN
