Liverpool's Brendan Rodgers 'astonished' at Malky Mackay criticism at Cardiff

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers says the criticism of Cardiff boss Malky Mackay from their owner Vincent Tan is "absolutely astonishing" from a man who knows "nothing about football".

Cardiff chief executive Simon Lim recently said Tan was "extremely upset" when Mackay announced he hoped to sign three players in the January transfer window.

Rodgers believes Saturday's Premier League home game against Cardiff will be "difficult", but hopes his Liverpool side will "continue the great form we're on".
