2) Brendan Rodgers’ sacking rumours are completely ridiculous
The Daily Star attempted to claim in the build-up to the match that Rodgers could be sacked if we’d lost tonight. Thankfully, tonight’s victory will go a long way to silencing his critics. It wasn’t pretty but his side got the job done and a semi-final at Wembley awaits. The initial reports were of course overblown – two league defeats in three months definitely don’t make him a bad manager. Only at the end of the season should we review the situation.
