Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Brendan Rodgers feels the backing from owners Fenway Sports Group helped him get through a difficult start to his career as Liverpool manager.
"If you believe in a manager and give him time, what has been proven in this country is that can lead to success," he said.
"I think those early months were always going to be difficult; you are trying to instil and implement ideas initially without a great deal of success.
"Myself, players and staff, we were very much focused on our job and there has been no change in ourselves, only improvement."
Rodgers plans to make some changes for the Europa League visit of Young Boys tonight but with qualification a possibility he will retain some strength. Steven Gerrard and Luis Suarez could feature for some part, but midfielder Lucas Leiva is still not over a thigh injury which has sidelined him since August.
