Harry Redknapp insists that Brendan Rodgers will transform Liverpool’s fortunes as he urged supporters to back the underfire manager.

Rodgers finds himself under pressure after two demoralising defeats to West Ham and Manchester United but former West Ham boss Redknapp says the Northern Irishman remains the right man for the job.

That comes despite Redknapp himself saying the current Reds team were "bang average" within the last few weeks.

“He has had an almost impossible job there,” Redknapp told talkSPORT.

“Two years ago he had Suarez, Sterling, Sturridge - what a forward line those three were - and Gerrard was still playing. Suddenly, he has lost those key players and it is very difficult to replace them.

“Brendan is relying on recruitment people at the football club. It is not a one-man band anymore. It is not managers jetting all over the world signing these players.

“You have got a scouting system, an analyst. They are bringing players to your attention and you are relying on them an awful lot.

“But how do you replace Luis Suarez? He was the best player in the Premier League that year by a mile.

“He didn’t want to lose Sterling. You are not going to find players as good as he lost.

“I still think Brendan is an outstanding young manager and he will get it right. He needs a bit of time, a result or two, and I am sure they will be fine.”
