SOUTHAMPTON, England -- Liverpool stayed top of the English Premier League despite a frustrating 0-0 draw at Southampton, where Juergen Klopps team couldnt get past goalkeeper Fraser Forster on Saturday.Liverpool is tied on 27 points with Manchester City but both teams can be overtaken by Chelsea, which visits Middlesbrough on Sunday.Im not happy, not over the moon, but Im not frustrated, Klopp said after Liverpools three-game winning streak in the league ended.The visitors dominated large periods at St Marys, where former Saints trio Dejan Lovren, Nathaniel Clyne and Sadio Mane all started for Liverpool.Roberto Firmino was guilty of missing the best chance to win the game for Liverpool, while Charlie Austin headed wide for midtable Southampton, which offered very little going forward.Former Southampton player Adam Lallana was missing after picking up an injury in Englands draw with Spain on Tuesday, and it was Mane who had the best chance in the opening half-hour.The Senegal international hit Georginio Wijnaldums pass first time, only to see Forster leap to his left and paw his shot away.After the interval, Emre Can -- making his 100th appearance for the Reds -- lofted a ball over to Firmino, who had his shirt pulled by Virgil van Dijk and went down, but referee Mark Clattenburg turned appeals away.Saints skipper Jose Fonte did just enough to put off Philippe Coutinho moments later as the forward burst through.Austin had arguably Southamptons best chance as he headed Cedrics cross wide under pressure from Clyne shortly after Joel Matip had been inches away from connecting with a free kick to put Liverpool ahead.Firmino was played in by Coutinho but could only shoot wide when clean-through as he attempted to finish with the outside of his boot.Daniel Sturridge was introduced in the 78th and almost provided an immediate impact as he dug out a cross to the back post which Clyne headed wide.Forster then kept out Firminos curling effort as Liverpool, unbeaten in the league since August, failed to find a winning goal.Liverpool and Man City have the same goal difference but the Reds have scored more goals.

Manuel was offered a position the day he was fired. He accepted earlier this week and the team made the announcement Friday. Perhaps it was the need to push on for runs and a fourth-innings target, perhaps it was something deeper. Either way, some uncharacteristic flourishes in Chris Rogers final innings for Somerset this season tended to indicate these were the parting shots of a prolific and valuable career.For many a year, Rogers had been crease-bound against spin, leaning heavily on advice conveyed by Lance Klusener in their time together at Northamptonshire: build a solid defence against spinners and wait for the bad ball. But here he was, dancing down to Samit Patel and lofting over long-on.More recently, Rogers had been haunted by the threat of the short ball, his fears exacerbated by the death of Phillip Hughes then maintained by numerous head knocks over the course of his last few Test assignments for Australia. Yet the last scoring stroke with which he moved to a 76th first-class hundred - only eight Australians have more - was a hook shot.Proof, then, that Rogers always had these shots in his locker, and perhaps a flightier personality would have used them more frequently. Instead, these moments in innings No. 554 were the exceptions that prove the rule: by knowing his limitations and working within them, Rogers carved out a batting method that stood up to more examinations than most. He also earned the belated validation of a memorable stint in the Australian Test side, years after he had given up hope of getting there for longer than his earlier solitary appearance.To finish in England was fitting, for it was largely on those northern shores that Rogers sculpted his way of batting. When he first travelled to play there his technique was more or less classically Australian: back and across to cover bounce and be in position to play cross bat strokes on the hard and true expanses of the WACA Ground.But the means by which Rogers would become a consistent and heavy run scorer were to come later, via help from the likes of Paul Nixon and Klusener. A double hundred against the touring Australian Ashes team of 2005 was significant not only as the innings that put Rogers on the map back home, but also as the first sign his English lessons were starting to take root. In the simplest terms, he worked on playing in straight lines down the pitch, and covering off stump without letting the bat get outside hiss eyeline to adjust for lateral movement.ddddddddddddombined with a flinty determination at the batting crease and an agile mind eager to make adjustments for the challenges posed by different bowlers, teams and circumstances, those fundamentals led Rogers to major run-making feats. Over the past decade only twice - once through injury and once through international commitments - did Rogers fail to top 1000 runs for the English season, sharing his runs and expertise with Northants, Derbyshire, Middlesex and Somerset.These sides, plus Australia, benefited too from Rogers the thoughtful leader, and Rogers the sociable after-hours organiser. At both Derbyshire and Middlesex he did not arrive as captain but was effectively promoted to the rank in the field. By the time he signed on to play at Taunton this year there was expectation of the battling club being given the Rogers touch, characterised by example with the bat, sound ideas in the field, dedication in training and yarn-spinning in the dressing room.An attentive brand of leadership has found its greatest 2016 exemplar in the growth of the left-arm spinner Jack Leach, proficient in his craft but also shy and reticent in a way Rogers doubtless recognised in his younger self. The following words were spoken after Leach had bowled Somerset to victory over Yorkshire at Headingley, as blunt as they were empathetic:I am still a big believer that you need more than one good season to play for England. With Jack, I think his games in order, I think emotionally he still has a bit of a way to go and I dont think hed be upset with me saying that. He is still a young guy, he has only ever been in Somerset and the challenges in international cricket are a lot more difficult. If they pick him then good luck to him but theyd better look after him.Protective of his men but honest with them also, Rogers parting gift to Somerset was to drive them to within a days good fortune of the clubs first ever County Championship. That his batting and leadership will be missed to the game is beyond dispute. But it is equally easy to conclude that the lessons learned over the past 18 years will be rare gold for Rogers in coaching ranks. ' ' '
