But when asked who was the best player he’s ever worked with, he decided against naming one of his current bunch or Luis Suarez, Steven Gerrard or Coutinho…

Of course, the pair got on infamously badly with Rodgers unable to control the troubled forward, who endured a miserable campaign at Liverpool.
