He said he doesn't believe in over-thinking anything because it leads to negativity.

I think when you have weaknesses you should go as in detail as possible and give them great thought so you can maximise the chances of solving the problem in the shortest time possible, contrast this to Louis van Gaal who is never satisfied, he almost always says after a player puts in a cracking performance "he was good but he can do better I believe", in fact the only player I recall he has not said that about is De Gea.

Just watch LvG interviews and see how much he focuses on the problems he thinks we need to solve and also a Mourinho does that perhaps not so in depth in the interviews but you know he goes deep into the problems behind the scenes.

I really think Rodgers is wrong about thinking deeply and if he starts obsessing about his defence and set pieces then he will come up with and execute a solid plan to solve them, as of now all that self help is causing disillusion, he sees the negatives as positives.

Let's not forget he is only 41 so perhaps it's just a phase he will grow out of.

You make it sound like he is in my old school days phase of " the exams are coming but why worry when I can laze about all day and play football."

:lol:

Looks like someone who's really trying to squeeze one out.............
 
He's not going to be in charge next season.
He'll no doubt submit another 180 page dossier to FSG, this time detailing why it's not his fault. They fell for his last one detailing how he was going to make Liverpool a European giant, so why not again?

Liverpool have a team bonding exercise at a Ludgorets corner.

This same scene has been played out so many times already this season, long may it continue :lol:

It's baffling how it keeps happening time and time again. Coaching defending is absolutely piss easy.
 
This Vine is absolutely fantastic...

Brendan Rodgers as a stand up comedian

 
I was wondering, what's the biggest gap in two consecutive year for a single manager in the EPL history?

let's say Brendan's last season was 2nd, and this season he's 8th, so that's -6.

Anyone have any idea how to word that better for me to search?

United 1st to 7th could be bested this year by Liverpool. Didn't Blackburn have a fall from grace the season after Kenny won them the title.

I'd guess it's more likely a team that came in the top 8-10 and dropped to relegation. Sunderland? Newcastle?

Ipswich Town in the Premier League era I believe. George Burley got them promoted and finished 5th in 2000/01 season, then relegated in 17th place in the 2001/02 season. Net loss of -12. Most normally get sacked but Ipswich stuck with him after relegation was confirmed and sacked him midway through the following season.

Didnt Ipswich go from Uefa cup to relegated?

Leeds under Howard Wilkinson went from title winners in 1991-1992 to 17th place in 1992-1993 (which was the first premier league season). That kind of counts.
 
They had lost 4 in a row so Brenty's ''never an easy place to go triumphant draw''comments are a little bit understandable.

1 win** in 8 games now.

**in the League Cup
 
I love how he says his team showed great character even though they conceded right at the end! :lol:

So does everyteam that falls behind and comes back to get a draw show great character? That must be most teams in England an Europe so.

Talk about clutching at straws :lol:
 
Mr Rodgers has been quoted as saying "The history and tradition of this club has been about offensive football..."
He's getting there this season. Ba-dum-tss.

Aye - but don't forget that Brenda doesn't actually speak of character: What they showed were great characterization, not great character. So, he may be right for all we know. Maybe Starfish, for instance, wrote an inspirational poem at half time, demonstrating a great ability to characterize Ludogorets' keeper?
 
He's not going to be in charge next season.

Rumour season lol I will kick it off! I had a restaurant owner come in to my clinic who is a season ticket holder who told me De Boer has already been sounded out by Liverpool about replacing Brent. Would be grossly unfair imho although the melt down would be funny.

Just looked into this, Ipswich got 66 points in 01/02 down to 36 points in 02/03. I thought we maybe had the biggest drop off with -25 points last season, I suppose it hurt more because it was prob the lamest title defence in history and our fans were actively cheering on City to take our title on the final day of the season.

De Boer really could become a top manager, I wouldn't want that personally.

I think Barça might look at De Boer after Enrique, and De Boer I think could be a good fit at United some time down the line too.
 
Rodgers:
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. It was the Summer of hope, it was the Autumn of drawing with Ludothingy etcetera etcetera. But I don't like to make a drama of my epic travails with Liverpool Football Club on Merseyside.

Anyway, my handling of the maverick talent Mario Balotelli reminds me of another chapter in my storied story of handling maverick talents: Luis Suarez. One crisp November morn's training session, Luis dived up to me and said "Hallo, Meester Rodders."

I replied to him: "You can't be speaking like that, soft lad - people will think you're being racist against yourself. You don't hear me bangin' on about Lucky Charms and Terry Wogan. Catch yourself on, so, and begorrah."

"Ok, Meester Fawlty..I mean, Boss," he said. And off he buggered. Anyway, the point of my story is that I'm great, and I know everything. Don't be fooled by my recent struggles - there's still enough fire in the oven to burn some Chelsea-sized cupcakes. Or something. Is that camera on? Well it should be..."
