Before our match against a Malaysian XI on Friday, Brendan Rodgers, Jordan Henderson, James Milner and Ian Ayre answered questions to a packed press conference.
Immediately, the manager was asked about Christian Benteke’s supposedly imminent arrival – but he refused to be drawn on speculation – and backhanded it.

As expected, the reporters continued to badger the boss about potential incomings and outgoings – and in blunt tones – Rodgers assured them he’d only discuss those currently on tour.
Jordan Henderson was also quizzed about his awarded captaincy, and mentioned the pride the armband gives him.
There were no very real interesting quotes all in all, with the PR trained players answering questions as they’ve been taught – while Rodgers was in bullish mood – which we actually pretty enjoyed.
