Rodgers – It Was A Fantastic Win For Us

Brendan Rodgers hailed his side after their ‘fantastic win’ at the Hawthorns

Rodgers said after the game “It was a fantastic win for us

“It demonstrated everything that is good about our game, we were deserved winners and the lads were fantastic.

“We didn’t want any excuses today. People could have said it was cold, it was snowy, but I thought it would benefit us with that bit of extra zip in the pitch.

“This is a team that are well organised and set up to dominate games both with and without the ball, but our technique today was wonderful and the players got their rewards.

“Gylfi is a wonderful talent,” he said. “I’ve kept in contact with him ever since he played under me at Reading and I knew this would be a terrific club for him and he has fitted in perfectly.

“Would could have scored four or five today, but we’re are a little club that is fighting to play at this level and our supporters were absolutely magnificent today; you couldn’t have fitted in any more behind the goal,” he said.

“We knew we needed to improve our away record and we have started the year well. But we know we can be better and I’m fortunate to work with a hungry group of players that want to do well.”
