Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers hits out at those he believes want him gone from Anfield.

Script: SOUNDBITE: (English), Brendan Rodgers:

"I'm pretty confident that there is obviously a group of people that don't want me here to be the manager. But certainly from my perspective I look at it and in all competitions, we've lost less games than Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal. Lost two games which is equivalent to Tottenham, Manchester United and ourselves have lost two. But obviously the hysteria around ourselves is obviously interesting to note. For myself and the players we are staying very calm, working very hard every day knowing that we will get our rewards for it and today they got their rewards. So I'm delighted for them and the response was fantastic."

"No, no. I think it is pretty clear Andy (journalist) that because I think if you look, as I said, where we haven't lost games or we have lost games and not performed well but I think the hysteria around it is pretty clear is that maybe there is something else going on behind. But for me, I will continue to work with the players - they've been absolutely first class. We will continue to work on our game, we've got players to come back in, top class players. But you've seen today we are very much together as a team."
