Brendan Rodgers: "I want a trophy this year"

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers states that he is targeting some silverware this year.

Brendan Rodgers has stated his intentions to win his first trophy with Liverpool this coming season.

The Northern Irishman has yet to pick up any silverware since taking over at Anfield back in 2012, and the Reds boss is looking to end that state of affairs in a season that includes a first Champions League campaign for five years.

He told the Liverpool Echo: "I want a trophy this year. My sole aim in the first three years was to get us into the Champions League.

"I knew what it meant to the supporters, the city, the taxi drivers, the people, the businesses... so my drive in that period was to get us back. Now we're in it, I want the club to win the big trophies again.

"That's what I've said to the players. The expectancy this season is continual improvement. Can we go to the next level? We want to win."

Liverpool begin their Premier League campaign with a visit of Southampton on August 17.
