Your support makes all the difference.Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has blasted Liverpool for their decision to sack Brendan Rodgers after just three over three years in charge.
Rodgers failed to win a trophy or even get to a final during his tenure at Anfield, but came extremely close to winning a first league title in more than 20 years in the 2013-14 season.
But Wenger, who has been in charge of Arsenal since 1996, said he couldn't understand the decision of Fenway Sports Group, Liverpool's owners, who appointed former Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp as the new manager on Thursday afternoon.
"Let's not forget Liverpool has not won the championship since 1990. They won 18 championships and since 90 they have not won the championship," Wenger told beIN Sports.
"They came the closest to winning it two years ago and now I don't know why really, the rational reasons why they have made that decision so quickly. It's difficult for me to understand.
"I'm surprised because first of all for me it's very sad."
Wenger believes that Rodgers lost his job because the Reds, who have picked up eight points from eight matches this campaign, had a slow start to the season.
"I think when you lose your job in life, it's difficult and on top of that after eight games it's very, very difficult because if you start well and you have a bad moment during the season, people forgive you.
"But if you start wrong straight away you are questioned and that's what happened to Brendan Rodgers."
