Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has questioned Liverpool's decision to sack Brendan Rodgers.
The Merseyside outfit terminated Rodgers's contract five days ago, three hours after Liverpool drew 1-1 with Everton at Goodison Park.
In his three years in charge at Anfield, Rodgers failed to win a piece of silverware, but he guided the team to within one point of Premier League champions Manchester City in 2014.
In an interview with beIN Sports, Wenger said: "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.
"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. 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."
Rodgers has been replaced with former Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp, who has signed a three-year deal at Anfield.
