PROBLEM: Liverpool legend and current first-team coach Gary McAllister has argued the club can’t expect their former players to gloss over poor results and performances when they work in the media. Manager Brendan Rodgers’ job is regarded as one of the most difficult in football due to the number of ex-Reds publicly expressing their views, particularly during difficult times. Former European Cup-winning stars Graeme Souness and Jamie Carragher criticised what they regarded as the manager’s tactical inflexibility during last weekend’s 3-1 defeat at Manchester United, while Michael Owen, Steve Gerrard, Danny Murphy, John Aldridge, Dietmar Hamann, Steve McManaman, Jamie Redknapp, Phil Thompson, Mark Lawrenson and Robbie Fowler all work on television, radio or in newspapers.Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has been criticised for his team selections and tactical inflexibilityThe Reds have lost their last two Premier League games against West Ham and Manchester UnitedREAD: Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson faces up to two months outLiverpool FC news: CLICK HERE for all the latest from Anfield

PROBLEM: San Francisco (CNN) -- As Nokia prepares for its next crucial venture into the U.S. and high-end smartphones, the Finnish cell-phone maker is missing a crucial piece: an abundant catalog of applications. Nokia is attempting to woo app developers with such incentives as pre-installing their software on the forthcoming phone, prominent promotion for their products and funding development of an app, according to three people involved in the negotiations. A vibrant app store has become a major selling point to smartphone customers. In the past, Nokia, which sells the highest volume of mobile phones worldwide, has made efforts to work with some creators of apps for its platforms. A Nokia spokeswoman said the company offers app developers a variety of incentives, some in partnership with Microsoft, which include coding assistance and marketing. "We do not disclose these arrangements, as each is different," she said. Microsoft declined to comment for this story.Nokia is offering to pay developers to make apps for its new phone, sources saySuch payments from phone manufacturers are unusualMicrosoft did something similar last year, but its Windows Phone app catalog is still lackingNokia is set to launch its first Windows phone by the end of the year, sources say
