Only using RAWKlogic could anybody not figure that out
This should've been added to the OP.
You're missing the point. I did nothing to imply that they are not a big club. The rawkite is pissed because Borini would rather play CL than take part in a relegation battle.
I love that they have gone all muppet on the midfield and attack (aside from debating if pogba> Gerrard and benzema> sturridge) yet they do feck all with the Gk and defence.... Can they really not think of better players than Mignolet, Moreno, Lovren, Sakho and Enrique!!! Rawkites
Maybe Brenton once said you don't need a defence to win a title and these deluded fecks are keen to prove it... As if Brenton knows anything about title wins....
Surely this deserves to get a mention in the thread title? Not that I don't like the "We go edition" though.
Maybe I could write a book about being 2nd in the title?!
Not from RAWK but from Rodgers nonetheless. Just came across it but think most of you guys might have already seen it.
1. ”It was a perfect away performance, apart from the first 10 minutes.”
2. “I’ve always said that you can live without water for many days, but you can’t live for a second without hope.”
3. On Luis Suarez: “He is a real warrior of spirit.”
4. “My biggest mentor is myself because I’ve had to study, so that’s been my biggest influence.”
5. “I am not a power freak.” (We think the lady doth protest too much!)
6. “I started coaching for one reason and that was to make a difference for people, not just as footballers but as human beings.”
7. “When we have the football, everybody’s a player.”
8. “You train dogs, I like to educate players.”
9. ‘I think there’s three players who will let us down this year — the cause, the fight, everything – and I have written them down already in these three envelopes. Make sure you are not in one of the envelopes.”
10.”I use a quote with the players,“Per aspera ad astra”, which is Latin for ‘through adversity to the stars’.”
11. “When you’ve got the ball 65-70% of the time, it’s a football death for the other team. We’re not at that stage yet, but that’s what we will get to. It’s death by football. You just suck the life out of them.”
12. “Joe Allen is one of the most courageous players I’ve seen.
13. “I will leave no stone unturned in my quest – and that quest will be relentless.”
14. “I always say a squad is like a good meal – I’m not a great cook but a good meal takes a wee bit of time, but also to offer a good meal you need good ingredients.”
15. “All I’ll ever do is all I’ve ever done in any job, and that’s promise to fight for my life for the people of the city.”
16. On the ‘Being: Liverpool’ documentary: “It was something I didn’t watch, and thankfully it’s over.”
17. “I’ve always worked along the statistic, that if you can dominate the game with the ball you have a 79% chance of winning a game of football.”
18. “I believe a young player will run through a barbed wire fence for you. An older player looks for a hole in the fence.”
19. “The problem with being a manager is it’s like trying to build an aircraft while it is flying.”
20. “We play with 11 men, other teams play with 10 men and a goalkeeper.”

Could probably find 50 quotes from Brendan.
Number 19 is pretty smart actually. I might actually use it.
Does Brendan have a man crush on Joe Allan? The welsh Xavi ( a claim i take offence to as a Barça fan), then saying he's one of the most courageous players he's seen.
Given the high likelihood that 1. United will at least challenge for a top four position and 2. They won't get as many points / goals / wins as last season, this thread could prove to be a vintage we will enjoy returning to in the years ahead.
Number 9, I wonder if Stevie Me was in all three of those envelopes.
Yup, that collection was more than a year old..
Apparently no one was in those envelopes and it was supposedly a 'man management' speciality from Rodgers. No idea why they even made that silly and cringeworthy documentary.
I like how he says he has written the names down already, followed by "don't be in one of these envelopes." That could prove tricky, Brenton.
childish guffaw at this, probably a narrow escape from the merciless RAWK banhammer
It is a management tactic straight out of a Zig Ziglar management book.
As usual though, Brenton was close, but slipped at the end.
Obviously, once hes written three names in the envelopes and sealed, them there is feck all those three can do to avoid being in the envelopes short of making friends with Doctor Who.
What is supposed to happen is that at the end he says he wants those three to prove him wrong, and because basic psychology will mean more or less everyone thinks it is their name in an envelope, they all have the motivation to 'prove him wrong'.
Fergie did something similar. Without f*cking up the basics.
Fergie was brilliant at man management. I remember reading Ole saying he wrote down a Fergie's teamtalk and replicated it when he was manager of Molde and it worked a treat.

There has never been a more apt footballing comparison than B-Rod with David Brent.
The difference was that SAF wrote 3 names that he said he thought would let their standards slip, after having won the title.
Rodgers wrote 3 names of players he didn't think would be good enough.
In the first one, players are thinking "it's not going to be me that lets my standards slip"...whereas with Rodgers, players will be thinking "I wonder if he thinks I am shit?"
Big difference doing it at a club that has been successful, and you have been manager of that team, to doing it to a club that has not been successful, and you have just joined.
? F T W, in different order.
I think Brenton has really toned down his silly quotes in the past year or so. I'm guessing someone told him what a pillock he sounds like.
Rodgers is a tit.

Clearly he gets the best out of the players regardless to be fair. I guess Gerrard and co think his verbosity means he's a genius or something.
That asshole thought Joe Cole can do everything that Mess can. Maybe better. Anything is possible.
Rodgers is a tit.

Haha - I joined in the hope of getting some Redcafe vs RAWK battles on GTA (sad I know...), but post in the United thread a bit! Not interested in getting into arguments over there - so as long as it remains civil then will probably keep posting!
Tell them Derek says that they're deluded and the whole of the internet laughs at them and their dodgy poetry.
Number 8 is pretty damn funny, when you consider that for a long time he had the only player in Europe known for biting people.
Defoe?
Well, he's hardly a friend, is he?
Rodgers is a tit.

Of course they will. They always have the ball.

They are a special breed.
I think it's just the fact that he's more comfortable and settled now. He doesn't feel like he has to be a manager like Shankly who would regularly come out with brilliant quotes.
