Brendan Rodgers says that the Liverpool players must give their all for the fans.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has said that he must bring the fans and players together if he wants to be successful at Anfield.

The Northern Irishman has signed a three-year deal to become the new Reds boss, succeeding Kenny Dalglish, who was sacked last month.

The 39-year-old said that there is currently an imbalance between the supporters and the playing staff, and stated that it is his job to correct that.

"Obviously, I have a philosophy of where I want to be, but the reality is that this is a club where I need to align the playing group with the supporters," said Rodgers.

"There is an imbalance at the minute. You've got some of the world's best supporters here and the playing group is not quite at that level yet. You've got some wonderful players here, some wonderful talent, but the work over the next number of years is to see if we can get that aligned with where it has been for many years.

"The reality is that, right now, it's not. I'm not going to sit here and bluff and say anything other than what I believe to be the truth. What excites me is the motivation to get that level back up again and that is why I came here. That's what brought me here."

Dalglish congratulated his successor on his appointment on Twitter.
