‘I’ll go if the owners want me to’: Brendan Rodgers on edge after Stoke humiliation
Liverpool boss says he still has a lot to offer, despite heaviest loss in 52 years
Brendan Rodgers conceded his job could be on the line after Liverpool suffered their biggest ever defeat in the Premier League in a humiliating 6-1 loss at Stoke.
A brace from Mame Biram Diouf plus goals from Jonathan Walters, Charlie Adam, Steven Nzonzi and Peter Crouch condemned the Reds to their worst loss since a 7-2 hammering by Tottenham in April 1963.
The supporters were angry at half-time and rightly so because that was awful in the first half. Absolutely awful
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard netted a goal in his 750th and final appearance for his hometown club but it was scant consolation on a chastening final day of a disappointing season for Reds manager Rodgers.
When asked directly if he accepted there would be questions about his future after such a woeful display, Rodgers said: “Absolutely. I have always said if the owners want me to go, I go. It is as simple as that. But I still feel I have a lot to offer here.
“Last season when everything was working well you have the support of everyone, but performances like today do not help you. I am fully aware of that.
“There is a lot that has happened here which has made the job difficult and we have kept fighting right to the very end. But I totally understand that.
