Rodgers issues a challenge to his squad to finish the season in style

Finishing with flair and style is top of Rodgers agenda for the closing games of the season. He has encouraged his squad to push the race for the title right to the limit in light of City’s 3-2 win over Everton on Saturday.

Rodgers appears confident that Liverpool will still be victorious however. A win against Crystal Palace tonight will secure a place in the top two after Chelsea’s defeat against Norwich City. The victory for the reds tonight would place serious pressure on City and ensure a nail-biting finale to the season for the game against Newcastle hosted at Anfield.

Speaking to the Liverpool Echo, Rodgers says “All we can control is our remaining two matches,” Rodgers told the Liverpool ECHO.

“We need to win those and then see where it takes us. We can’t worry about anyone else, we just need to focus on our job. We will keep fighting right to the end.

“What these players have achieved so far this season is nothing short of remarkable.

“To arrive with two games to go with the possibility of achieving something people could only have dreamed of back in August really shows the scale of what we’ve done this year.

“It’s been a huge effort by everyone and I’m very proud. To think that we’re in May and we’ve only just suffered our first defeat of this calendar year is a brilliant achievement.

“We are trying to build something here that is sustainable over many years and so far it has gone well.

“There is still plenty to play for this season. We want to finish strong. We had been in great form prior to the Chelsea game and now we want to get three points at Palace and kick-off another winning run.”
