UK Back Pages: Brendan Rodgers Hits Back at His Liverpool Critics

Under-fire Brendan Rodgers has hit back at critics calling for the Liverpool boss to be sacked. 

Liverpool have struggled through injuries and form this season, but the Northern Irishman insists that he's still the right man for the job. 

In Star Sport, that's exactly what Rodgers claims and they also link Manchester City with a move for Newcastle man Papiss Cisse.
