Liverpool hero Jason McAteer has urged the club to rally behind manager Brendan Rodgers.
The ex-Kop midfielder has given his backing to Rodgers amid reports Napoli chief Rafa Benitez could be preparing to return to Merseyside.
McAteer told the Daily Star Sunday: "Rafa has spoken many times on the record of his love for Liverpool and I'm sure if he got the opportunity he would come back and manage the club.
"But you can't disregard Brendan after a poor start to the season.
"I think Liverpool are happy with him, he will be given time.
"I don't think he will be sacked this season."
