Brendan Rodgers copied a Sir Alex Ferguson mind game used almost 20 years ago - and it backfired as Liverpool went down 3-0 on the first day of the season.
The Reds boss had shown his team three envelopes and said inside were the names of three players who will 'let us down this year'.
Ferguson had done this in 1993 to ensure his squad did not let their first title success in two decades go to their heads - however he later revealed the envelopes had been empty.
Rodgers said to his team: 'When I arrived here, the first few days were analysing the group, the staff, the players.
'I think there’s three players who will let us down this year — the cause, the fight, everything. And I have written them down already.
'Now my point to you as players — and staff — is make sure you are not the one in the envelope, because you are so important.
'If we are going to achieve, to be the best we can, we need to be together. But I think there’s three, maximum, who will let us down.
Make sure you’re not the one.'
The manager's talk did not seem to win over Steven Gerrard, who watched on with his head propped up by his arms.
Rodgers' trick will be shown on the latest episode of 'Being: Liverpool', screened on Channel 5 on Friday night.
It has not been revealed who was named inside the envelopes although there is speculation.
The Liverpool players look a bit underwhelmed by the idea
'It was designed to motivate, to make players determined not to be in that envelope, ensuring they are focused and "plugged in" all season.'
