| Robbie Savage thinks Liverpool have two great alternatives if Brendan Rodgers is sacked |
ROBBIE SAVAGE thinks Liverpool should consider replacing Brendan Rodgers with Jurgen Klopp or Carlo Ancelotti.
Rodgers has come under pressure after his side's 3-1 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford.
The Reds have made a stuttering start to the season after making wholesale changes and spending more than £70million on players in the summer.
While former United trainee Savage says he would give Rodgers more time, he claims there are two good alternatives out there.
Klopp is the favourite with bookmakers, while Ancelotti is still a hero at Chelsea after leading them to the double in 2010, and is an obvious choice.
"Rodgers is the first Liverpool manager since the 1950s not to win a trophy in his first three seasons in charge," Savage told the Mirror.
"As much as I disagree with modern football's sacking culture, he sanctioned the departure of members of his back-room staff in the summer, so he is vulnerable now.
There is nowhere left for him to hide.
"And with Jurgen Klopp and Carlo Ancelotti both currently out of work, there are attractive alternatives if John W Henry decides that a change is in order.
"I would give Rodgers more time, with a top-four finish as his bare minimum target, but the time for long-term philosophies has passed.
"Winning football matches is the only way ahead for him now."
