Brendan Rodgers declared his players ‘brilliant’ after they demolished Blackburn at the Liberty Stadium<\/p>\n
“The players were brilliant today and it was a wonderful performance,” said Brendan. “We thoroughly deserved the three points and earned our 13th clean sheet of the season.<\/p>\n
“We’ve had a couple of doubters and critics in the last few weeks and you have to accept that. But we had a team meeting on Thursday and I just wanted to let them know just how good they’ve been.<\/p>\n
“But today was always going to be a difficult game. Blackburn have scored a lot of goals, but our control and domination was good and our hunger to win the ball back was incredible.<\/p>\n
“And mentally, we passed a big test this afternoon.<\/p>\n
“We’re very much one club here,” he said. “It’s not nice to lose four games, but from a learning point of view and going forward – what an experience it’s been.<\/p>\n
“It’s been an incredible journey, and you are always going to get adverse moments. But you’ve got to go through that and when you get to the other side, it’s a wonderful place.<\/p>\n
“We played well in three out of the four games we lost. Wednesday wasn’t acceptable from my perspective because we didn’t fight.<\/p>\n
“The minimum requirement is that we fight, but today you saw what a real team is about.”<\/p>\n
Brendan also paid tribute to the opening goal of the game – grabbed by Gylfi Sigurdsson<\/p>\n
“It was a wonderful goal,” he said. “We talk a lot in training about shifting and shooting and it’s difficult to tell which is his stronger foot.<\/p>\n
“But to beat a keeper of Paul Robinson’s quality – who I thought was outstanding for them – was brilliant, and it was a great strike.<\/p>\n
“All three goals were well worked and it was great to keep yet another clean sheet.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
