"So I understand that. But all I can do is affect what we have now and look to teach and work very hard and finish off what has been, until now, a great season for us." "I don't want to pin blame on anyone here," added Rodgers. "I think as a collective, it wasn't ideal how it ended for us. We have to, as a club now, go away and look at that, like we do in every window.
"You can very easily say, 'well, you should really have someone in the door before you let him go'. But there was a situation which meant that wasn't the case, and that was something that we had been running for a number of months."I think we brought in some really good players. Could we have done better? Yeah, we could.
