And that’s it.
Brendan Rodgers time as Liverpool manager has come to an end after a roller-coaster three years at Anfield.
The Northern Irishman was a Steven Gerrard slip away from winning the Anfield side their first league title since 1990, but was tonight relieved of his duties following a 1-1 draw in the Merseyside derby.
As you can imagine, people on Twitter were talking about little else. Here’s how they reacted:
One ex Liverpool insider told me recently that it started going wrong after Brendan Rodgers had his teeth whitened.

All this talk about Klopp. I wouldn't be surprised if we ended up with Eddie Howe 😂 #Brendanrodgers

Whether Klopp (more of an FSG fit) or the calming, experienced Ancelotti, new #lfc manager needs Carragher assisting, partly to sort defence

#LFC owners made decision to sack Brendan Rodgers BEFORE Merseyside derby. Even victory at Goodison would not have spared him

Remember when Brendan Rodgers (read: Luis Suarez) nearly got Liverpool to win the title?

Wenger on Rodgers: "I'm always sad that happens. I think he's a quality manager. What he has done at Liverpool, very unlucky not win PL."

Farewell to one of the most quotable managers in the Premier League. Sunderland could use you, Brendan.

If Liverpool's owners had lost faith in Brendan Rodgers why give him such a brief chance to restore their confidence? Mismanagement by FSG.

Luck to Rodgers and clubs will take him pretty soon. He gave us a GREAT year and that will never be forgotten – some fantastic games/results
