Brendan Rodgers admits it's been a difficult start for Iago Aspas, but has backed the struggling Spanish frontman to come good. “There’s no doubt it’s been difficult,” said Rodgers.
“When you are the player who scores goals you want that goal to give you that confidence and obviously he hasn’t got that yet."
Aspas once again failed to make any real impact in the weekend loss to Southampton at Anfield, being replaced at half time by Raheem Sterling as the Reds crashed to a disappointing loss. “It was difficult for him to get in the game" explained Rodgers. "We flipped it about a bit in the first half in triangles to try and get him on the ball a bit more. He’ll continue to work hard.
“Iago is a good boy, and honest boy and he’s obviously been thrown in a bit quicker than he’s had to have been.
“But he’s a good guy, he’s working hard and trying his best so hopefully over time he’ll get his goals and make the impact we think he can.”
