What They're Saying

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers (via Sky Sports): "One thing is clear: I love working with Steven Gerrard. He's arguably the best player who's ever played in the Premier League. I've enjoyed every single minute of working with him here and I hope that continues, but I need to give him the opportunity to think as long as it takes in order to decide what he wants to do next.
