4) Genuine chance of a trophy…
As of Wednesday afternoon, Liverpool are the bookies’ favourites to win the Europa League.
Any competition is worth winning, especially one in which we have such a rich history – last collecting the trophy in 2001 under Gerard Houllier.
Of course, whichever of Manchester City or Roma finish 3rd in their group could take the favourites tag from us, but we’d still be one of the higher profile sides in the competition regardless.
Rodgers hasn’t won a trophy with us yet, and it could offer an excellent chance to get the monkey off his back.
