Rodgers: Liverpool’s £18m Midfielder Was A “Great Buy”

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has hailed his predecessor, Kenny Dalglish, for the signing of Jordan Henderson while he was in charge.

Henderson has improved massively this season and continues to develop under Rodgers after moving to Liverpool from Sunderland for £16 million in 2011.

The 23-year-old arrived at the club alongside Stewart Downing, Andy Carroll and Charlie Adam but only Henderson still remains a Liverpool player.

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers salutes Notts County's effort in Capital One Cup

Brendan Rodgers has saluted the efforts of Notts County after Liverpool needed extra-time to see off the League One side in the Capital One Cup.

The Reds appeared to be cruising at the break through goals from Raheem Sterling and Daniel Sturridge, but a second-half comeback from the visitors took the game to extra-time where Sturridge and Jordan Henderson spared Rodgers' blushes to seal a 4-2 win.

Liverpool have now enjoyed victory in their opening three games of the season, but Rodgers was quick to praise his side's lower-league opponents after a remarkable game.

"It was a real interesting game because we were so in control in the first half and at the beginning of the second half," he told Sky Sports.
