Rodgers backing Liverpool Ladies for massive title playoff

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has wished Liverpool Ladies all the best for tomorrow's Premier League title decider tomorrow against Bristol Academy.

Rodgers has spoken of his appreciation for how well Matt Beard's side have performed this season.

"It's brilliant how well they have done and it's a great effort by all of the players," Rodgers told Liverpoolfc.com.

"I met with Matt in pre-season and understood what was a huge task for them but they have had a brilliant season, and now they head into the last game with the title in their hands - which is all you could ever want.

"We had the chance to work with them here at Melwood and you could see the professionalism.

"They wanted to do it right and all the staff were brilliant, and very importantly the quality was very good on the day as well. I'm delighted for them.

"We've tried to make sure we have drawn everyone into the one-club mentality this season.

"I said to Matt no matter how they do on Sunday, we are very proud of them. The work he's done, his staff and the players, they have been brilliant and they have been right up there at the top of the league all season."
