BRENDAN RODGERS: “That was part of my reflection when I left Reading, that I did veer from my philosophy under pressure for results, I wasn’t being true to myself. I can adapt and be pragmatic of course, but I had success all my life as a coach working...

LIVERPOOL Ladies crashed to their third straight defeat as goals from Izzy Christianson and Natasha Harding kept Manchester City’s title dreams alive with just two games remaining of the Women’s Super League season. There were 3 changes to the side beaten by Arsenal...
