da fezbet: Whats happening at Anfield? Well not a lot really since Brendan Rodgers strolled through the entrance to Anfield as Kenny Dalglish’s successor at the start of June. Chances are he has spent most of his time making a few cosmetic changes to his new surroundings (new desk perhaps?) and acclimatising to life on the Merseyside hotbed. With the country currently suffering from Euro 2012 fever Rogders will have found it difficult to avoid watching a few games and checking on the Reds contingent battling it out in Poland and Ukraine. He’ll certainly have kept an eye on England during their successful navigation of Group D and the vintage performances of captain Steven Gerrard. The last two seasons have seen the 32-year-old’s influence diminish due to injuries and a struggle to remain fit but he’s rolled back the years for the Three Lions becoming their driving in midfield racking up three assists in as many games. With the looming expectation to restore the Reds to the Premier League top four Rodgers will be purring with delight that Gerrard is currently at the epicentre of a renaissance tornado. £35 million frontman Andy Carroll is also rediscovering his former self with some imperious displays for his country. It all bodes well for the Northern Irishman who’s career as a top-flight manager will be defined by the upcoming campaign.

“Stevie has been a fantastic player for many, many years but with the armband I think he feels like he needs to step up just that tiny bit more and I think he’s done that more than anyone so far.” Glen Johnson believes Steven Gerrard has flourished as England captain at Euro 2012
