Brendan Rodgers

To be fair to Enrique his early performances were really solid. He has had such a dip in form.

That's because Brendan evolves, but he doesn't..........revolve. I guess what I'm trying to say is, we don't want another Chris Evans on our hands.

No, thats exactly what we do want

a season with downing in front of him has destroyed him

Thought Carrick was decent. The role that he plays doesn't need him doing anything fancy anyway, so I think it suits him.

Brendan Rodgers has returned to Swansea City to take a fourth member of his old Liberty Stadium backroom to Anfield.

Rodgers quit South Wales for Merseyside in June and immediately secured deals for analyst Chris Davies, performance consultant Glen Driscoll and assistant Colin Pascoe.

But he has now appointed former Swans head of sports science Ryland Morgans to his coaching team at Liverpool, pictured taking training today at Melwood having left the Liberty on Friday.

Morgans, who doubled as the fitness coach with the Wales national side under both Gary Speed and Chris Coleman, opted to leave Swansea to "develop his career elsewhere".

Morgans joined Swansea in August 2010, leaving Fulham to link up with his hometown team and was part of the Rodgers backroom that helped the Swans to the promotion.

But he appears to have been installed into a conditioning role at Liverpool, snapped just a week after head of conditioning and fitness Darren Burgess left his post.

There had been some overlapping of Morgans' role at Swansea following Michael Laudrup's appointment of ex-Monaco fitness guru Osca Garcia in the summer as fitness and conditioning coach.

It is not yet clear whether Swansea will look to fill the head of sports science post vacated by Morgans.

I was thinking a little bit about this the other day, when Burgess left. Why does BR replace everybody with people from Swansea? It`s not strange that BR wants people he can work with, and that shares his visions, at the club. But the people leaving all came to the club with good reputations and is it really so that the "crew" he had at Swansea were all better?
Does he look for people outside of Swansea, or does he think the Swansea set-up was perfect?
Answers please.

If I could persuade my employers to buy be a car as badass as that I wouldn't give a flying **** what the likes of Craig Burley thought about it.

The arrogance and self confidence of Jose M are not simply a consequence of his success, it is part of the reason for his success. I would rather have a manager who is convinced of his ideas and see if he's right than to have a manager who bumbles along.

Perhaps it is not about it being 'perfect' but that he knows how these people work and is comfortable with them as a group. He's implementing quite a big change in some aspects of play - it is easy to imagine him thinking that integrating unfamiliar elements into his team might slow his bigger project.

That is probably the reason, but I would like to think that he can recruit from a "higher" level than he could before.
Having said this I don`t have a clue about how good the guys from Swansea are, they can all be brilliant for what I know. I just hope BR isn`r so stuck in how it was at Swansea that he forgets that LFC has a bigger pull on people and that he can aim higher now.

I suspect we will have to wait a while before we really find out about that. We seem to have a pretty complete staff in place now. Hopefully we can have a bit of stability behind the scenes for at least a season or two. I think the capture of Sahin on the playing front suggests that Rodgers is willing to go for higher profile targets if the opportunity arises.

Or vice versa
