Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy believes the club’s transfer policy has “killed” Brendan Rodgers.
His side are now top of the standings of the embryonic table and De Boer has again been mentioned as a possible candidate for the Liverpool job.

“It’s something that doesn’t frighten me, I’ve got an inherent belief in what I do”.
The Anfield boss is under severe pressure with the Reds understood to be lining up Jurgen Klopp as his replacement.

“Young Firmino landed awkwardly in the game the other night and there is another scan on his back, but he may have cracked a bone in his back“.
“I have regular contact with the owners and the relationship has always been strong”.
“I don’t shy away from the fact you need to get results, and perform well, in order to stay in work”.
“The pressure is huge but I embrace that challenge”.
Hopefully next time more than one will find its way into the back of the opposition net. Hopefully that will see me here for a longer period.
