Brendan Rodgers managed Liverpool between 2012 and 2015John Barnes believes Brendan Rodgers was done a "disservice" by Liverpool and would have achieved the same success as Jurgen Klopp given more time. Rodgers came close to guiding the Reds to the Premier League title in 2014 but was sacked the following year before rebuilding his reputation with Celtic and current club Leicester. Former Liverpool midfielder Barnes feels Rodgers, whose Foxes side occupy second place in the table, was harshly treated at Anfield and paid a heavy price for losing the trust of supporters. Brendan Rodgers was sacked by Liverpool having failed to win a trophy"We allowed him to drop [Daniel] Sturridge and [Mamadou] Sakho. Liverpool won last season's Champions League"We won the Champions League last season, finished second and we lost one game.
