Eyewitness News: EWN Sport Exclusive: 'Don't give up on the Reds'

CAPE TOWN - Former Liverpool goalkeeper Bruce Grobbelaar has urged football fans to be patient while promising that the results will come.

The Reds have had one of the worst starts to the season in 50 years. They have not registered a win after four games.

Their league campaign does not get any easier when they face Manchester United on Sunday.

Grobbelaar told Eyewitness News Sport Brendan Rogers is the man to get Liverpool on the right track.

“They shouldn’t be worried about it at all. I think Brendan Rogers has got his philosophy right. He’s starting to play some great football and it needs a little bit of time for all the players to gel. I have no doubt that Rogers will get it right and we’ll start climbing the League.”

Grobbelaar said Liverpool have not faced the easiest opponents in their league campaign so far.

“Don’t take it to heart that we’re not playing well. We’re playing very well, it’s just the way we’ve changed the style of our play.”

The Reds are currently 17th on the English Premiership log.
