Brendan Rodgers believes Liverpool will be able to produce more of the kind of fluid football this season that made them such a force last term and has backed them to show their creativity in Monday's Barclays Premier League clash with Manchester City. The Reds' 2014-15 top-flight campaign got under way last Sunday with a 2-1 home win over Southampton, a result Rodgers felt his men had had to 'grind out'. Certainly, it was not a performance akin to those they were putting on for much of the conclusion to 2013-14, in which they fell just agonisingly short of claiming the Premier League title.
