LIVERPOOL, England -- Three observations from Liverpool's 1-1 draw with FC Sion Sitten in their Europa League clash at Anfield.
1. Rodgers' troubles worsen after embarrassing result
The bare facts are that a team who were beaten by a side from Liechtenstein on Sunday held the five-times champions of Europe. A 1-1 draw with FC Sion ranks as a further embarrassment for the beleaguered Brendan Rodgers. It was a result that means defeat in Sunday's Merseyside derby would surely bring even louder calls for his reign at Anfield to be curtailed.
Admittedly, FC Vaduz (Sion's conquerors last weekend) play in the Swiss league but the reality is that Liverpool struggle to defeat sides from any division.
