Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher insists Brendan Rodgers is the right man in charge. Former Liverpool defender Carragher is waiting to see whether the owners, headed by John W Henry, allow Rodgers time to put the team in a better order than they find themselves after Sunday's 3-0 defeat to Manchester United.
Asked whether Rodgers is the right leader for Liverpool, Carragher said: "Yes, he is."
He acknowledges patience will run out if Liverpool do not improve, and Carragher sees potential trouble ahead, in the shape of a tricky trip to face Championship leaders Bournemouth in the Capital One Cup on Wednesday.
Carragher told Sky Sports 1: "These new owners are different from the past people who were in charge, who always gave every manager - Roy Evans, Rafael Benitez, Gerard Houllier - five or six years.
"They were very quick with Roy Hodgson, Kenny Dalglish and (former director of football) Damien Comolli, so I think it has changed, the way of doing things from when I was there.
"But I think when you get rid of a manager halfway through a season, I think it's nonsense, I don't understand it.
"And also on the back of what Brendan Rodgers did last season. In the time I was playing I never played in a team who played that well or got that close to the title."
