Liverpool keeper Pepe Reina believes Brendan Rodgers passing game will need time to develop at Anfield. "I'm looking forward to going back to Liverpool," he told the club's official website.

"I am very optimistic about the future. It is a good appointment and, hopefully, Liverpool can have a better season than they did last time.

"I watched quite a bit of Swansea last season and I always like my teams to play like that.

"It is my style and one that will be very good for Liverpool but he is going to need time to implement his ideas. It is not going to happen in the blink of an eye."
