Brendan Rodgers slams "disgraceful" Arsene Wenger critics

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers slams critics of Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger by insisting that the abuse that Frenchman faced last month was "disgraceful".

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has defended Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger from his critics and branded his detractors as "disgraceful".

Wenger was abused in a train station by a small section of Gunners supporters following their 3-2 loss to Stoke City, while there have also been calls for him to be removed as Arsenal boss.

Rodgers has admitted that he was disgusted to see the Frenchman treated in such a way, and believes that some supporters in modern-day football can be fickle.

"Arsene Wenger has been an iconic figure for football," Rodgers told reporters. "You get criticised when you don't win games, but some of the personal stuff he takes is absolutely disgraceful.

"The other week he was at West Brom and that [treatment by fans] was absolutely disgraceful. As a leading figure in football, a real statesman of the game, it was really poor. But that is the modern world, unfortunately. Six or seven months ago I was the manager of the year.

"Because we lost two world class players, one out of the club [Luis Suarez] and one injured [Daniel Sturridge], I am now useless. But I accept that."

Liverpool meet Arsenal in their Premier League clash on Sunday afternoon.
