Brendan Rodgers has warned Liverpool fans not to expect overnight success under his stewardship.

Rodgers was brought in from Swansea to replace Kenny Dalglish and he has vowed to play “the Liverpool way”.
Dalglish ended Liverpool’s six-year wait for a trophy with Carling Cup success, but they failed to deliver in the Premier League.
League glory is the aim for Rodgers, but he has suggested it is likely to take some time for the pieces to fall into place.
“The challenge is immense, let’s be under no illusion,” he said. “But I certainly think that a club of our status and value to the football world can go again.
“It’s going to take time. And whether it will be in my time, I’m not so sure. But I’m going to fight for my life to try to get this model of play that, hopefully, can change the history of the club.
“This is a club where trophies are what it has been about for many years. But, for me, running alongside that it’s about putting in place a model to see the club grow. That is equally important. To build a group that challenges.”
