You’ve got to love Brendan Rodgers.
If he’s not talking about ‘character’ or calling Joe Allen the ‘Welsh Xavi’, he’s amusing us with his unique Brendan Rodgers logic.
Liverpool drew 1-1 away to Bordeaux on Thursday night in their Europa League opener. No disgrace in that at all.
Adam Lallana scored a very fine goal, but moments later Danny Ings failed to convert an effort that the goalkeeper saved at close range.
After the game, dear old Brendan had a very unique reason as to why his new striker failed to hit the back of the net, the likes of which we’ve never seen before.
Ladies and gentleman, we give you…
Rodgers: Ings didn't score because "his touch was too good". Same
