Brendan Rodgers (Liverpool -> Celtic -> Leicester)

Working his way through the L's then?

Kind of struck me that the Champion's League pressers didn't always include Gerrard. He's got the most experience and he IS the captain.

One of our strikers scored a goal, it was either a press conference or an open top bus parade.... Lambert chose the press conference.

Cracked Me Up

 

Yes it's ridiculous who Brendan brings to his press conferences these days, he's a f*cking embarrassment. Don't even get me started on the bit of dandruff that I couldn't help but notice on his collar the other day.

I am sure Brendan would like to add Martinez if he thinks he will fit, as with Reus we will be competing against another 20 teams for the signature, it's a lot tougher to get these sort of players than you seem to think.

Granted that's why we have to act fast and not dilly daddle in the market like we usually do looking to get the player as cheap as possible. Though funnily enough we never dilly daddle when it comes to PL players we throw money at them in fact providing the wages are low. So we overspend on PL players so we can sign them up on low wages and we underspend on foreign market players to compensate for higher wages paid. Our transfer policy is as shambolic as our defence.

Isn't it "dilly dally"? Not that it matters overly but f*ck me if Brendan said that we'd be all over him like a rash.

If you want to compare notes on supporting this club then where do you want to start ,on the number of years supported ,the number of games attended or the number of finals attended.You start.

Chinese burns. How many Chinese burns you endured over the years off groups of Leeds supporters because you were the only Liverpool supporter in the school. Panini stickers? Never really got into them meself but they could be a good barometer. I did see Ken Dodd live once, I'd definately throw that in, and I liked the Liver birds.

The wolves will never leave the door Brian...they may slip on a sheepskin coat, but they'll always be there

time go football very depressing watch, not even winning playing ugly, cant see us get top 4 or win anything time go brenden rodgers

I've never called for BR to go and I'm not likely to BUT I can't quite bring myself to defend him either..ya know what I mean? I'm sure I'm not on my own with that thinking.

Our man is loosing the plot & it's showing in our performances.

Remember when you joined LFC the three names in an envelope trick you lifted from Fergie ?

Whose name will be in there this year ?

Rodgers uses old Fergie envelope trick by claiming he knows three Reds will let Liverpool down

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.'

Last time we finished second in the league, in the following season we finished 7th and didn't get out of the CL group. Brendan has a good chance to do better than that, starting with beating Basle in a fortnight.

(Lack of) performances on the field aside, the thing that really pissed me off with Hodgson was the constant repeated drivel he used to spout in the post match interviews.

Have to say, Brendan is not far off that now, I'm sorry but no one in a red shirt was outstanding tonight and I'm getting sick of hearing the same thing game after game.

So the fact we were sh*te the last season after we finished 2nd with different manager. owners and players excuses us for being sh*te this season with our current manager, owners and players?

Brendan would say ur showin poor characterrr to that

Of course it doesn't, no. The point is though that the season isn't over yet, our destiny is still in our own hands and Brendan has an opportunity to do much better.

We also didn't spunk 120m in that window either.

We sold Alonso, Arbeloa and Leto for 37m.

Brought in Aquilani, Johnson, Mavinga and Kyrgiakos for 38.5m.

Do remember that the Aquilani deal was not a straight 20m rather some complicated instalment transfer deal split into 4 x 5m instalments.

Outstanding.
Tremendous character.

We also didn't spunk 120m in that window either.

And we were a European away goal away from a European final.

Outstanding.
Tremendous character.

Repeat after every game no matter what.

We have to stop rot before we move on and that was achieved tonight lets build on that against Stoke.
