Former Liverpool midfielder John Barnes urges fans to trust new manager Brendan Rodgers.

Former Liverpool midfielder John Barnes has urged the club's fans to get behind new manager Brendan Rodgers for the upcoming season.

Rodgers was appointed at Anfield last month following the departure of Reds legend Kenny Dalglish.

"Brendan Rodgers is there now and I urge all the fans to get behind him, support him, believe in him and see where it takes us," Barnes told PA Sport.

"I don't think we are necessarily strong enough to win the league but we should be looking to finish between fourth and sixth, and if we could get into fourth spot, that would be a great achievement.

"We have to be realistic and we have to trust the manager - know his philosophy and know he will bring in the players to suit that philosophy."

Rodgers claimed on Thursday that he was looking to improve one or two areas of the team before the start of the new campaign.
