Brendan Rodgers

I think we're in with a great chance of beating Man City and Man Utd. I think we'll suffer against Arsenal again.

I think you're being quite optimistic there. We can all dream though.

[Roboklopp]

Almist certain we'll take points off Citeh & hand 3 out to Scum. Or at least the "ref" will...

[Bender]

you never know if we continue creating chances along with our SSS pronged forward line we might genuinely push up the league

[Neil Young]

So basically we have scored goals roughly commensurate with our, slightly ****ty, league position then?

Goal difference suggests we're competing with Everton and - maybe - Spurs. But not West Brom or Stoke. Possibly Swansea, but I think we should consider their GD an outlier.

So all that's not surprising either.

[Lecter]

if we had had that bit of defensive solidity, we would have been up there in and around 3rd place.

Thats been my major gripe with Rodgers

[Assassin]

What do we want? A cure for Tourette's. When do we want it? Cunts.

[BigChief]

Thats been my major gripe with Rodgers

A gripe without patience, perhaps?

Not aimed at you Lec, but as for the top six who have all outscored us...how many strikers do each of those teams have? Now compare that to our 'one'.

[Fredo]

Thats been my major gripe with Rodgers

Gripe, for what? It's an evolving team.

[Neil Young]

Lec needs to get a gripe.

[dom9]

Ooh I could crush a gripe.

[BigChief]

Must have been griped as a youngster.

I win the worst pun.

[Neil Young]

It's time to unite. Gripe

[dom9]

Get a gripe.

It's sexy to look in Spain, but I want my Liverpool scouts to 'Think Scouse', says Rodgers

Brendan Rodgers wants his scouts to 'Think Scouse' after admitting Liverpool have failed to make the most of the wealth of emerging talent on their own doorstep.

The lack of homegrown players coming through the ranks has long been a bone of contention at Anfield, but Rodgers has vowed to put it right by intensifying talent-spotting in and around Merseyside.

'My big thing is getting young players in here from the local area,' said the Liverpool manager.

'Boys from Liverpool. If you look at the history here: the Carragher, the Gerrard, the McManaman, the Fowler, the Owen...

'And you name me the best two players in England in the last six or seven years? Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney, and they are Scousers. One is from that part of the city and the other from that part. So you are not telling me there are not top young talents in Liverpool.

'It is sexy to look in Spain, and I am one who loves working with European players. I love working with the talents, and all my life i have worked with players from different parts of the world.

'But we mustn't forget what is on our doorstep, and, for me, this is a hot bed for footballers who have a passion, hunger and incredible qualities. That is a massive part of my job and something we are trying to put in place.'

Makes a lot of sense.
