Rodgers Reveals How Liverpool Beat Arsenal 5-1 & Which Player He Thought Was A ‘Really Special Talent’

Former Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers achieved one of his greatest victories against Arsenal in February 2014.

The Reds crushed Arsenal 5-1 under the strewardship of Rodgers in the same season his side came within two points of winning the Premier League title.

Interestingly enough Rodgers is being touted as a potential replacement once Arsene Wenger leaves – if that day ever happens.

Rodgers went into detail – and I mean detail – about that memorable win and broke down how he achieved it.

Perhaps he is preparing his CV in case the Arsenal board interview him at the end of the season.

Rodgers told the Liverpool Echo: “This was one of my major highlights of my time at Liverpool.”

The Echo have the rest of Rodgers summary but one point in particular really stood out for us.

The former Liveprool manager appears to be an admirer of Mesut Ozil – well at least he did back in 2014.

Rodgers described the playmaker of Turkish origin as being a ‘really special talent’ and a ‘fantastic player’.

Perhaps Ozil’s place in the team would be safe if Rodgers did ever take over the North London based outfit.

“For the third goal, we felt Ozil was a really special talent and a fantastic player – so when he had the ball we had to put real pressure on him. We had to double press with Jordan, who was great in pressure situations. Ozil comes out to the side, good pressure on him, we win the ball back and we felt we could break out from inside Arsenal’s shape,” he added.

Ozil has five goals and seven assists in all competitions for the Gunners this season.

Rodgers meanwhile is currently manager of Celtic and is likely to win his second league title this term.
