5. Rodgers gets the best out of players
If there is any manager who can shackle the controversial behaviour of Balotelli then it is the Northern Irishman, who has proven again and again what a fine coach he is.
Take Suarez for example, who was guided through a turbulent period in 2013 after a biting ban to score 31 goals in 2013/14 and win the PFA Player of the Year award.
Although less about his temperament, Rodgers has also nurtured Sturridge’s raw talent to make him a top-class scorer with 36 goals in 49 games for the Reds to date.
