"The manager keeps tweaking and tinkering with the formation and making little subtle changes to personnel and tactics and it is coming off from week to week”, Gerrard told his club’s official site.
"I have been absolutely blown away by his sessions, his tactics and his maturity in the job and I am learning off him every single day.
"When you become a little bit of an older player, you look to see how the manager does certain things and he has been fantastic for me personally.
“He is a young coach who has been there and earned the right to become Liverpool manager."
Rodgers left Swansea City to take charge of Liverpool in 2012, but the Merseyside giants finished the campaign in a disappointing seventh place.
However, this term, Rodgers has transformed Liverpool into a free-scoring unit, who have forced themselves into the top four and are challenging for the title.
