Whatever happens in this game (because I am not taking anything for granted until that whistle is blown) I think Rogers will stay. Liverpool's owners didn't go though all the hassle of getting a young manager, all that process, only to fire him after a few months.

I also think that Rogers is paying for the mistakes of Kenny Dalglish in that he simply doesn't have the resources to get all the players he wants or needs. He wanted Dempsey from the money wasn't there, they try to sell on some of Dalglish's signings but they aren't worth nearly what he paid for them. This is hamstrung Rogers who has to make the best of what he has and, at the moment, that is a hard task.

Liverpool have simply spent too much money trying to catch up fast with the Champions League teams and now Rodgers is tasked to do so without that money. Liverpool knew this when Rodgers came in, they may have to play the long game....
