Liverpool boss Rodgers delighted with Lambert goalscoring form

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is delighted with the goalscoring form of Rickie Lambert.

Lambert struck again in their draw with Ludogorets.

Rodgers said: "I'm so pleased for Rickie and what he has shown in the last two games, because he has been so patient and waited for his chance," the manager reflected after the final whistle had set up a grandstand finale in the section.

"He got his goal and that's two in two, so his confidence is getting better. Since he got his goal at the weekend he's been a different person around the training ground - just in his step, his shoulders are wider and his chest is out. It makes a difference.

"He contributed so much effort and desire to us getting a result and that is what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a team with the mentality to work their socks off. He ran himself into the ground.
