Former Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers was part of the panel on Monday Night Football show on Sky Sports.
It was his first appearance on live TV following his sacking from Liverpool. He talked about his favourite Joe Allen, Luis Suarez and the Reds’ troubles on set-pieces amongst other things.
As expected, his appearance evoked an array of emotions on Twitter:
