Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has insisted that he is not feeling the heat following a run of poor results.
The Northern Irishman's future was called into question in the summer following a disappointing campaign, but after a reshuffle of his backroom staff, the 42-year-old stayed put.
After winning their opening two games, Liverpool have recorded one draw and two defeats, the most recent being a 2-1 loss to arch rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford.
During a press conference, when asked about the level of pressure that he feels under, Rodgers told reporters: "Same as it has ever been and probably what I've had for the last year or so.
"I don't think it has increased at all. It is the pressure which comes with managing a great club. It says everything that you lose a couple of games and that pressure comes, but I've always embraced and enjoyed that.
"Nothing has changed in that way. I just need to concentrate on getting the team right. Pressure is something which is part and parcel of being manager of this club."
Rodgers has rested six first-team players for tonight's Europa League match against Bordeaux.
