Liverpool chairman Tom Werner is impressed by what he's seen from new manager Brendan Rodgers.

The Reds took the big step replacing club legend Kenny Dalglish with the young Ulsterman.

"I think Brendan is very thoughtful. Every minute he has a thought in what he's trying to achieve and I think the next two weeks will be important. I'm looking forward to the English players coming here on Monday but I can see that this is a very thoughtful practise and the manager is implementing his strategy," Werner told liverpoolfc.com.

"He's been great and very personable. I think that everybody who talks to him feels his enthusiasm and his intelligence and I'm really looking forward to a great season next year."
