Goal : Brendan Rodgers believes that Liverpool’s squad should contain more players sourced from the local area.
Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher are the only current regular first-teamers to have been born and raised on Merseyside, an area that the Ulsterman believes is a footballing “hotbed” waiting to be tapped into.
“My big thing is getting young players in here from the local area – here in Liverpool,” Rodgers told reporters.
