BRENDAN Rodgers is happy for Liverpool fans to “believe and dream’’ as the Premier League title race heads for a thrilling conclusion. Victory over Sunderland at Anfield on Wednesday night would leave Liverpool one point behind leaders Chelsea with seven games left.
And while manager Rodgers continues to straight-bat all talk of a possible first title since 1990, the reality is that his free-scoring team have become major silverware contenders.
Luis Suarez’s sixth Liverpool hat-trick in a 6-3 win at Cardiff saw him equal Robbie Fowler’s club record tally of 28 Premier League goals in a season, while a Martin Skrtel double and Daniel Sturridge’s late finish floored the relegation-threatened side.
“We are focusing on the immediate future,’’ Rodgers said. “The fans can believe and dream, and when you come to see your team play and they score six goals, you’ve got every right to do that.” — Soccernet
