BetVictor have cut Brendan Rodgers from 10/1 to 5/1 in the Premier League ‘sack race’ following Liverpool’s 2-0 defeat to Arsenal at Anfield.
His side have now picked up just 1 point in three games, and things look bleak according to the bookies.
BetVictor’s Charlie McCann said: “Having suggested that he would not loan out Andy Carroll and with a squad that looks thin and lacking in quality by Liverpool standards, this has certainly not been a honeymoon period for the Northern Irishman and you get the impression the supporters won’t be as patient with the former Swans boss as they were with (Kenny) Dalglish and (Rafael) Benitez.
“Indeed he is only likely to be given the same amount of time to win over the Reds’ faithful as Roy Hodgson. Liverpool have three more PL games in September and they are 11/8 to get six or more points from those three games.”
Rogers is a top priced 8/1 with Paddy Power, while Southampton’s Nigel Adkins heads the betting at a standout 4/1 with BetVictor.
Spurs’ Andres Villas-Boas is a generally 6/1 shot after his side failed to win again against Norwich at the weekend.
