"this liverpool is a new liverpool looking to the future rather than the past a team thats going to deserve respect form all looking in like in shankly's time No player is bigger than shirt thats on there back i wish bredan and his staff the best of luck in the future this for me is real progress a club moving forward the right way lets get behind the team not the history YNWA JFT96"
"'We were meant to be in Dubai having a break this week," says Rodgers. "I cancelled it after we lost to Oldham and told the players we were coming here instead. I couldn't get it out of my mind the idea of players walking around Dubai after we had gone out of the Cup. I said 'no'. You have to earn those rewards. This is more important' ABSOLUTELY FIRST CLASS! "
"So good to read this and a fantastic insight into Rodgers' morals, ethics and all round positive influence on the club and its players. Yes, a lot us didn't want Kenny to go, me included, but Brendan has gone that step further to improve our club. After reading this how could anyone want him to leave, let him do his work he's only just begun - RESPECT TO RODGERS! YNWA!"
"There is so much to point out in this article. McParlands comments about previous regimes was a bit of a surprise. You can now see why FSG brought the man in and are willing to give him the time necessary..."
"UTD have built their success in a similar way - the difference is they are ruled by an antagonistic, bl00dy minded, dictator. We on the otherhand have a manager who is just as determined to achieve success but is more decent, approachable and a far more respectable, likeable character."
"There is no doubt that Brendan Rodgers philosophy is indeed a winning one only issue is whether he is big enough or infact good enough to bring in the right players to succeed. Nowing what is needed is one thing but to achieve thats another."
"I for one wish BR all the very best as if he succeeds then Liverpool as a club will succeed but until we win the epl then and get back to the great sides of the Shankly era then we will always look in envy at our past LFC YNWA"
"Very good. he is learning that the PL is notlike the Spanish or Italian league, and the ball needs to be passed quickly forward and players need to be more robust in midfield. It also helps to have a muscular front man like Holt, Fellaini or Dzeko etc. Bring back Andy!!"
"kingofclubs wanting the best for your club is not being negative i have followed Liverpool fc since 1959 and have seen Liverpool rise from the Ashes once to reach shear greatness and hope to see it again before i die, if BR DELIVERS THEN I WILL GIVE HIM FULL PRAISE. But not just because he says the right things ive seen to many managers come and go, all be hailed as Messiahs then fall. LFC YNWA"
"It is also worth noting that "The special one" playing PL type football with a number of ex PL players has just stuffed Barcelona Twice Ticky-tacky bites the dust "
"I am loving this. I never ever doubted BR. I really hoped we would go for him before Spurs and glad AVB didn't come in instead. BR is not only looking for solely tika-taka. His methods are more evolved I feel in that he doesn't mind a rapid counter-attack or long cross-field pass. We need to keep BR for 5 years I feel to truly benefit from what he wants. Hope you are reading this haters! YNWA IBWT"
"$HIT Kwakaman...I can't compete with that experience, been a supporter since '77 so I was spoilt with success from the start. Can you tell us how Shankly was recieved, different era I know, but it would be interesting to get your views on this..."
"We all know Rodgers hasn't really done anything in the game but I love his footballing philosophy and I like the way he operates within the club and that's why I'm fully behind him."
"KINGOFCLUBS
You are absolutely spot on mate. I was the same, shocked and gutted that Kenny left but straight away I wanted BR. His methods are very rare and unique. This is probably why some fans are not backing him because they do not fully understand his concepts. It isn't about flogging the ball into the box to a 7ft giant, use the ball not the player."
"I recall a conservation I had at the start of this season that BR would turn out to be one of our most important signings in many seasons.The trolls on this site should listen to the likes of Gerro and Carra who have still LEARNED from BR's coaching philosophy and style of football.The bigger picture here needs to be seen,not instant gratification results."
"Great read, I believe in Rodgers for the long term, stabilizing the club from the roots, but also giving the youngsters the chance to shine on the biggest stage if they prove their ability and commitment to their trade."
"to russxx... really.. Br has a tika taka model of play but is evolving it for the player at the club and the demands of the league to adapt.... he has always known this and not just learning it... and Andy C should never wear the red shirt of this club again...."
"and in a one off game, any style of play, any team can beat any other team... thats why we love football... if you play tika taka (applied possession)it has the highest percentage of success compared to any other style (70%)...."
"xxrussxBarca's ticcy taccy football bites the dust?Just how many points separate Barca from Real? League les first,domestic cups second,that's all "the special one" can achieve in that league.He knows he's never going to win a League le,no matter how many big names he's signed.Ticcy taccy football is genius football."
"Wouldn't normally bother reading the Telegraph (tory rag)but this is an excellent article. I'm confident that we will progress under Brendan but we will all have to be patient. Rome wasn't built in a day. Good luck to the lads playing this evening. YNWA"
"i dont know about ticka tacka football you can call it what you like one thing i know is i see my beloved team rip zenit apart and other teams this season.Brendon is doing a great job,the team looks great and if he is trying to get everyone playing the same drum good on him :)YNWA,JFT96"
"Too much talk which most of time can be fruitless this is LFC and dare I add other clubs across the country do have their own academies and getting better all the time so what is important not only the future(which we cannot predict)but the present and right now I regret to add LFC just above mid table club."
"I think you will see a big did next season when all the players grasp and understand his way prob needs a few more tweaks .lets just injoy the distruction of Chelsea could not happen to better supporters"
"this is a very insiting article about rodgers and his motives and goals for this club. sometimes you'd think he's being easy on the players when we dont perform well at a match esp with his postmatch conf but the fact that he cancelled the trip to dubai after the oldham loss shows how ruthless he can be with the players."
"dhjames - "that's all "the special one" can achieve in that league.He knows he's never going to win a League". For the love of God please do not reply without facts, remind me again who won the Spanish league last year and finished on 100 points??? "
"BRILLIANT ATUDE hope it all comes off eventually. the local youngsters need to get in anfield watching the games, feeling the atmosphere and wanting to be just like gerrard and carra!!!!!"
"Luis7??9,I was talking facts,your perception of what I said is completely wrong.Obviously Barca are so much better than Real(winning the league every year).Domestic cups as I said come second,the special one only winning those.Facts!"
"FANTASTIC i want this man to be at our club for a long time love the way he speaks about the club an the way he is with the young players IN BRENDAN WE TRUST YNWA "
"I hv said this from day 1, BR is our new Shankly. His ideas are correct for the development of a long-term dynasty. It will certainly take awhile. I put it at 6 yrs before we are in the position to be winning everything in sight again. That's when we will see the rewl fruits of today. I hope he's still here then."
"People wonder why we love Rafa, it's quite simple really: he loved LFC. I like this man, you get the feeling he wants to be here forever and establish a new dynasty. We wait..."
"Can't help but be impressed by Brendan Rodgers he is an excellent professional coach. I really hope he gets the time and financial backing he needs to realize his vision. "
"Great insight that we have a manager looking at 1 club of players not separate parts of a club containing players.
Now combine Melwood & Kirkby into 1 training centre and imagine the incentive to an 8 yr old scouse kid ( & others) training on the same pitch as his heroes can give to make that effort to emulate & even become one of the LFC legends."
