Brendan Rodgers didn't have to go down the route he did. He could have expressed his anger and simply hit James Maddison, Hamza Choudhury and Ayoze Perez with fines.
At the business end of the season, Rodgers could easily have put himself first and thought about getting the best possible result at West Ham last weekend. His chances of doing that would have been greatly increased with Maddison, in particular, in his starting line-up.
What Rodgers did last Sunday, however, was one of the most impressive feats of management I've seen this season.
