Rodgers has praised Steven Gerrard for his 'unique' ability and hopes
that he will keep playing for the club beyond his current contract which
ends in 2014.
With the 32-year-old Liverpool skipper playing every minute in the
Premier League this season, it's clear he's a popular man in Rodgers'
line-up.
The Reds boss praised the England international's display at the weekend
during Liverpool's 3-2 loss to Oldham Athletic in the FA Cup fourth
round.
Rodgers told the club's official website: "When he came on at Oldham, it was like someone had dropped him from heaven into the game."
Although he may be a guardian angel for Liverpool, his future for the club seems to be in the balance.
The former Swansea City boss added: "I don't believe anything has been done [about his contract].
"Steven and I have spoken a number of times. His feeling the last time
we spoke was let's get through this season and see how that goes.
"His focus is on really helping the group to go forward."
It's worrying times for Liverpool, as Rodgers believes that they would struggle without their influential skipper.
