Rodgers has challenged his other players to score more goals and added: "If you're needing 65 goals to get where you want to be, then it's no good having a striker with 40 when the others can't contribute - it's a team responsibility. Look at Roberto Firmino at Liverpool - he's scored 10, but look at his influence and what he gives and allows to the other players. With Jamie, when he's not scoring, he's creating space for others, but it's the responsibility of everyone - full-backs, centre-halves, midfielders, front players, and the guys coming off the bench, too, to contribute.
With that comes pressure to perform, but I've always felt that pressure must be amplified when you are an athlete in an individual sport. When I'm walking on to a pitch, I know I've got the full team behind me. You've got 10 other players to talk to, to help motivate you or find solutions. Federer just has to figure it out in his own head. It's very different. I honestly think sometimes that's why I never pursued an individual sport, I was more suited to team sports.

TALKING POINT What else… A typical Eurosport report spends a paragraph highlighting the game’s biggest flash point – what the result means, how certain tactics played out, and so on – but it is difficult to select anything trivial when the biggest talking point is the fact the match and league as a whole is still going ahead while the coronavirus outbreak wreaks havoc on the sporting calendar elsewhere.
The Romanian capital Bucharest is one of the 12 host cities for the tournament which is scheduled for June 12 to July 12.

Pearson last managed in the Premier League at Leicester City but was sacked in May 2015 and replaced by Claudio Ranieri, with the Foxes winning the Premier League title the following season. He has since had a five-month spell at Derby County, leaving by mutual consent in October 2016 and at Belgian First Division side OH Leuven, where he was sacked in February 2019. Watford under-23 coach Hayden Mullins took charge for the defeat at Leicester City on Wednesday.
This was before the Cas hearing. However, as City never made such an application, it was never processed. The nine Premier League clubs who made the application were Arsenal, Burnley, Chelsea, Leicester, Liverpool, Man United, Newcastle, Tottenham and Wolves. Earlier this month, Cas overturned the two-year ban, saying that most of the alleged breaches of Financial Fair Play rules were either not established or time-barred.
His nagging of the Inter leadership finally paid off this month, the famously combative coach finally getting his way with the addition of Victor Moses, Ashley Young and Christian Eriksen, all from English Premier League clubs.

Man of the match - Robby McCrorieWith only a point separating the teams prior to kick-off, this was always going to be a close affair. For the home side, Doidge led the line excellently while Docherty put in another fine display in midfield. For Livingston, Sibbald and Lawless were immense but man of the match must go to McCrorie.
Not scared to make brutal decisions'Analysis by BBC Sport's Simon StoneThe Watford owners have never been ones for sentiment. Neither have they been scared to make brutal decisions if they felt it was in the best interests of their club. At this stage of the season, survival is the only thing on their minds. And the desperate first-half performance in Friday's must-win game at the London Stadium led them to conclude a change was required given the two fixtures that lie ahead.
With Kane also absent because of a hamstring injury, it leaves Mourinho with a dilemma to solve in attack. Lucas Moura and January-signing Steven Bergwijn are the most likely candidates to deputise up front. Bergwijn scored 14 goals for Ajax last season, scored five in 16 league games before joining Spurs and scored on his debut for the London club, against Manchester City. Moura showed he is capable in front of goal with 15 strikes last season, including two hat-tricks - most famously in the Champions League semi-final against Ajax.
The coronavirus outbreak has cleared the English football calendar until at least 30 April, leaving clubs up and down the country with difficult decisions to make as their cashflow dries up. One of the toughest decisions is what to do about paying players and non-playing staff. The Professional Footballers' Association has written to all of its members urging them not to agree any reduction or deferral in wages until they have spoken to the union.
As one of the division's most adept counter attacking teams, Palace routinely come armed with a considerable attacking threat on their travels – in fact the Eagles have scored more goals on the road (eight) than they have at home so far this season (seven).
Two factors that stand out going to this match are the teams’ home and away forms. MIllwall are good at home and they have been scoring regularly, and losing very few. On the flipside, Nottingham have a good away record; they have lost just one of the last 10 away matches in the Championship. While Millwall go to this game as underdogs, the fact that they have managed to fell two promotion contenders here is a signal of their quality. They are also unbeaten in three matches against Nottingham. However, seeing that Nottingham are on a good away record as well, and have the joint second best defensive record so far, we expect a balanced affair here. We will thus go for a scoring draw here.
The Premier League then responded saying that an emergency meeting would take place. It is widely expected then that a postponement will come. PREMIER LEAGUE SECOND STATEMENT IN FULL In light of Arsenal’s announcement tonight confirming that their first team coach Mikel Arteta has tested positive for COVID-19, the Premier League will convene an emergency club meeting tomorrow morning regarding future fixtures.
Clubs promoted to the Premier League for the next two seasons will receive £8m less than expected. The reduction is because of a £330m rebate the league has agreed to pay broadcasters because of the temporary suspension of the current season due to the Covid-19 crisis. The Premier League agreed a deal with broadcasters that included a payment for greater flexibility over start and end dates to the next two seasons, the first of which will now begin later than planned.

Shakhtar have had an unconvincing defence in their past few matches and as a result have shipped in a plenty of goals. Though they have been scoring quite well, their defensive problems stand to cost them here, looking at Wolfsburg’s form. Wolfsburg hit Malmo home and away in the last round and with four straight wins in the competition, they will be keen to take the first leg advantage. Playing at home will favor them too. However, with just one clean sheet in five Europa League home games, we feel they may concede here. Still we are backing the home side for a win.
Wednesday's win over Real Madrid was a landmark night in the Champions League for Manchester City and the way they won at the Bernabeu was memorable too. City were under added pressure going into the tie because of their European ban, then all the talk before kick-off was about Pep Guardiola's team selection when he left Sergio Aguero out. Pep's plan worked to perfection, though, and it was brilliant to watch.
