STOKE-ON-TRENT: Brendan Rodgers conceded his job could be on the line after Liverpool suffered their biggest ever defeat in the Premier League in a humiliating 6-1 loss at Stoke.
A brace from Mame Biram Diouf plus goals from Jonathan Walters, Charlie Adam, Steven Nzonzi and Peter Crouch condemned the Reds to their worst loss since a 7-2 hammering by Tottenham in April 1963.
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard netted a goal in his 750th and final appearance for his hometown club but it was scant consolation on a chastening final day of a disappointing season for Reds manager Rodgers.
When asked directly if he accepted there would be questions about his future after such a woeful display, Rodgers said: "Absolutely. I have always said if the owners want me to go, I go. It is as simple as that. But I still feel I have a lot to offer here.
"Last season when everything was working well you have the support of everyone, but performances like today do not help you. I am fully aware of that.
"There is a lot that has happened here which has made the job difficult and we have kept fighting right to the very end. But I totally understand that.
"My pride makes me want to be in this job. I love this job and I love this club and it has been a difficult season but, like I said if the owners ever say to me to go, I go.
"I want to be here but I also understand that we need to be better than we have shown in recent weeks."
