Liverpool winger Stewart Downing has been told that he still has a future at Anfield. The former Middlesbrough man has had a difficult start to life at his club, but appears to have a future under Brendan Rodgers at Anfield.
“All I need to do is look at the bench to remind myself that I have to keep performing well,” he told the <em>Liverpool Daily Post</em>.<br />
“There is real competition for places, especially since Daniel and Coutinho arrived in January. You have lads like Raheem Sterling waiting for a chance too. It means if you’re not playing well you’ll be hauled off.<br />
“I’m sure the manager will also be looking to add to the squad in the summer. He’s told me I’m part of his long-term plans, which was great to hear."
