Liverpool boss Rodgers dismisses selection criticism after Chelsea defeat

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers was again asked about his selection policy after defeat at home to Chelsea.

After a third defeat in a week, coming on the back of reverses at Newcastle and then Real Madrid in the Champions League, the spotlight is on Rodgers.

After making seven changes in the Bernabeu with a view to fielding his strongest side in this fixture the Liverpool boss was unrepentant having seen his masterplan fail.

"I would hopefully win the three games," he said when asked what he would do differently.

"We plan and prepare the team the best we can so I wouldn't do anything different, we just didn't get the results.

"Hopefully this will be an experience for us this week and we can use that to be better going forward."
