Brendan Rodgers

[Marina]

Indeed but why apologize for the source Marina?

Is the DT any worse than the Indie' or the Times or is Chris B still unloved due to his tenure at NOTW?

Haha my mum and her family have always hated DT. I don't really have that much of a personal investment as I've spent most of my life in America but I assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that most of you shared my family's disdain for the paper

[DKdan]

Loved this bit

“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.”

My favourite bit too...

I guess there are lots of **** papers and plenty of lazy journos but disdain should be saved for the s*n.

Lefty family by any chance? It's referred to as the Torygraph by some here.

Well, obviously none of us read the Sun. That goes without saying. And even if my mum's family weren't from Liverpool, they probably wouldn't read it as it's a quite a mediocre paper with a substandard level of reporting. Doesn't mean that other papers are exempt from criticism though!

Yep. Definitely

Ever since the Guardian came out in support of the Lib-Dems there's only one daily paper worth reading, and that's the Morning Star!

That's a great article. Really encouraging stuff (though of course we'll see over the next few years whether its much more than words and gestures).

Hopefully one or two actually took what he said in and will remember it after a day or two.

[Shaggy]

How old is he?

About 10 I think. His name's Harvey Davies. He's a Blue

On my phone so can't post the pic, but the website published a great pic of him in goal with Rodgers and Pepe watching very intently just feet away. Apparently the club and the squad were really magnificent. Great to hear.

The manager also spoke at length to parents to offer a reminder that whatever issues they encounter as they seek the best for their son they should approach him or his staff. Such is the inclusiveness he is encouraging, last week he arranged for under-14 players to be ballboys in the Europa League game against Zenit St Petersburg.

The irony here is if Rogers hadn't screwed up the substitutions there was a fair chance we would of gone through against Zenit.. He strikes me as a man who has stumbled across our best starting line up after many attemps of getting it wrong and now he just needs to figure out not to **** up the subs. Still maybe one he will get that right too.

You don't rate him much then

When he gets his subs right you can tell us that he stumbled across that too. Don't forget to tell us he stumbled across anything good that he does.

As the 'good' happened organically it has nothing to do with Rodgers, therefore he doesn't need to mention any of it in this thread.

Thats very true

I'm full of belief for next season as long as we make the right defensive transfers in the summer.

True but we're still short up front, need to buy a top striker IMO and perhaps an AM or wide player too if Downing/Borini/Henderson are sold.
