Rodgers grateful to Liverpool away fans for support during Cup win

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers thanked fans for their support during victory over Capital One Cup opponents West Bromwich Albion.

The Liverpool supporters were in full voice at The Hawthorns and they voiced their support for the manager by chanting 'One Brendan Rodgers' just moments before Sahin clinched the side's equaliser.

And their fervent support continued right up until the Turkey international sealed a memorable victory.

"The fans have been brilliant for me," insisted Rodgers to liverpoolfc.com. "Liverpool supporters are very educated and clever. The support they have given the team and, more importantly myself, has been incredible since the first day I came here.

"This is one of the most iconic clubs in world football but we're not at that level as a team and it's going to take a wee bit of time to build and create an identity that gets us up to that level. When you fight for your life as a manager and players, supporters usually respond to that."
