Ex-Man Utd coach Meulensteen questions quality of Liverpool coaching staff

Former Manchester United No2 Rene Meulensteen has questioned the quality of Liverpool's coaching staff. The Dutchman was a key member of Sir Alex Ferguson's staff at Manchester United before taking over at Fulham last year.

He told BBC Radio 5 live: "He (Brendan Rodgers) has obviously got people around him who he obviously thinks are the right ones.

"But I think he could have done with someone who has been there, seen it and done it. Brendan Rodgers's biggest failure is that he's not invested in his staff.

"Playing in the Premier League and the Champions League, it's a different rhythm that requires a different style of training and a different management strategy through the week. You need to know these things."
