Brendan Rodgers has explained why he was sat on the floor during Liverpool’s dour stalemate with West Brom on Saturday.

Critics pounced upon the sight of the Reds boss with his back against the advertising boards at the Hawthorns as evidence that he’s losing heart after his side’s recent slump in form.

However, Rodgers has laughed off those suggestions and insists he had little option considering the lack of seats available in the away dugout.

“They have removed the actual benches from the dug-outs at West Brom so I actually had nowhere to sit,” Rodgers said.

“My two assistants were sat on the ice box and I had to sit on the floor.

“For me I am as hungry as I have ever been, I am ambitious to win and there is no greater place than here to win. I am still committed and motivated to do that here for sure.”
