Liverpool boss Rodgers: Flanagan has forced selection rethink

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers admits Jon Flanagan has given him a new selection dilemma.

The Scouse lad was outstanding for their draw at Everton on Saturday.

Rodgers said: "He is a terrific boy, he is a kid that is wholehearted. It was a real test for him, first with [Kevin] Mirallas and then with [Gerard] Deulofeu. I thought he was outstanding. When you come to places like this, you have to be a man, you have to be able to defend.

"I have seen enough of him. I have seen enough of him in training. It doesn't matter whether he is playing in front of six people at the reserves or in front of 90,000. He is the same. He doesn't get affected. That's what I needed.

"He has done brilliant and that has given me something to think about."
