Haha, honestly... what's he done to be disrespected? Said a referee from Greater Manchester shouldn't referee a game involving City? Can't even think of anything else they could cry about.  You have to expect managers in a title race to play mind games and divert pressure to the other teams in the race.

Pellegrini strikes me as classy. Moyes is alright. Mourinho's a c*nt, a clever one, but I call him that with reason. You can't just hate someone so much because they manage a rival club.

They want to be treated as the other Manchester club so bad. They get super defensive anytime their finances or money is mentioned and are so eager to abuse us/United/Arsenal/Chelsea/Spurs.

For those who ever saw The Powerpuff Girls, they remind me of:

And it's gone from a 'pat on the head' type comiserations over Christmas, to outright complete and utter gobshitery.

I went on holiday the day before the City game, with proclamations of 'we'll smash you out of Anfield' ringing in my ears.

He's saving football apparently, because he's setting up academies all across the world. UEFA are out to get him and City because they have an agenda.

Does anyone really think he's setting up academies and football complexes around the place because he's such a charitable guy? Clearly not as a means to boost that revenue to comply with FFP and other potential (money laundering?) avenues...

/snip

It's not about saving money I think. A problem Rafa had when he arrived is he needed to spread his money around to solve a lot of problems. Whereas today the likes of Sterling, Flanno mean that we don't need to spend 10m squad players for those positions and hope perform above expectations.

I think the more you spend on a player the closer you get to signing a sure thing. So spreading 50m around 5 or 6 positions will get you maybe 3 or 4 squad players and 2 that probably won't make the cut. Maybe one of them turns into an Alonso like bargain but it's unlikely.

However if you can produce 3 or 4 squad players from within - maybe even produce a few more to sell on and boost the transfer budget like Fergie did for years with shite like Keiran Richardson, Frazier Campbell etc - then you can focus your budget on buying real proven talent.

I didn't even think it was a dig to be honest. Watching the press conference he just pointed out that you'd expect such a team to have a period in the game in which they were on top. That's how I saw it anyway, he was defending our performance as a whole at the time after being asked about concerns that man city got back into it I think.

Me neither. To me it was just another way of saying we were up against a proper football team, and when you're up against a team with that sort of quality you won't be able to dominate them for 90 minutes.

Don't really see why the City fans are making a big deal out of this. You have to be fairly sensitive to get all defensive about comments like that.

Steven Gerrard on Brendan Rodgers:

Quote
“I totally believe in this manager and his plans. I totally believe. I bought into that from the first conversation.

“He’s a phenomenal man for his age [41]. I think he’s going to grow into one of the world’s best managers and I hope he is here long after I am gone.

“I hope he is here for many, many years because this club is in great hands. Whatever happens now until the end of the season, it’s safe.

He’s a winner, he’s hungry for success, he does the right things, he treats players well, he doesn’t try and control the football club, or get involved in stuff that has nothing to do with him

Quote
The last time Liverpool were champions of England in 1990, Brendan Rodgers was a 17-year-old completing his first year as an apprentice at Reading. Even then, his imagination was fired by great attacking teams passed down by the generations.

His grandfather back home in Northern Ireland had been an ardent Liverpool fan dating back to the pass-and-move era of Bill Shankly, his father Malachy was devoted to the great Brazil sides.

Perhaps it is the family history that makes Rodgers - whose playing career was ended prematurely by injury - so determined not to abandon the strikingly carefree football Liverpool have played this season, even though the league title is within their grasp and the stakes are rising week-by-week.

 It is a remarkable statistic that Liverpool, who have won their most recent 10 games and will be champions if they win their last four, have conceded more goals than Hull City this season - but scored 93.

Having hit the top by blowing the opposition away, the manager does not want a siege mentality creeping in now ahead of today's game at Norwich. If they are going to be champions, it'll be with a swagger.

'Everyone expected us to go more defensive in midfield in our big game last weekend against Manchester City, but we actually went more lightweight and technical,' Rodgers points out proudly.

'We've dealt with pressure all season by working to get on the ball, to play. Every week we seem to have the question put to us: "This is the real test". But we've always passed the tests, City at home, Arsenal at home, Man United at Old Trafford. 'If it doesn't happen for us this year, it'll be due to bad luck or a mistake. It won't be because we're lacking in nerve.

Rodgers lost both his parents shortly before he took the Liverpool job. He has not spoken in detail about them this season, but it is clear that his father, in particular, has left a sporting legacy that is increasingly important now the business end of the season is upon us.

'When you're young, your dad is your hero. His favourite sport to compete in was rallying, but as a football fan, he was into great technical players. That was all that was ever spelled out to me when I was young, the technique of the players,' said Rodgers.

'You've got to be brave, and you've got to be clever, to be a technical player.'


That attitude is stamped all over his Liverpool team. Rodgers inherited two star players in Steven Gerrard and Luis Suarez, but he has created more to join them; 21-year-old Brazilian Philippe Coutinho, Daniel Sturridge, 24, and Raheem Sterling, who is 20 in December.

Given the team finished seventh last season, the current title challenge has come as a surprise. The game against Chelsea - managed by Rodgers's mentor, Jose Mourinho - on April 27 could be the decider.

At 41, Rodgers is four years younger than Mr. Ferguson was when he was appointed at Manchester United.  Arsene Wenger was nearly 47 when he arrived at Arsenal. It is clear he could develop a similar dynasty at Liverpool given the opportunity.

'That's in my mind. I'm looking at the expansion of the stadium - imagine Anfield with another 20,000 supporters in it,' he said. 'I look forward to seeing new pitches at the training facility and at Anfield. That'll quicken up our game again, because the (current) pitches aren't very good.

'There's a real project here that I want to be able to oversee. I'm 41, I've many years as a manager ahead of me hopefully - and there aren't too many bigger clubs than Liverpool.

'It's why we've brought in so many young players as well. Joe Allen is 24, Jordan Henderson's [who starts a three-match ban] is 23. Raheem Sterling, Coutinho, Jon Flanagan 21. Luis Suarez is still only 27 and Steven (Gerrard) could be sweeper-keeper at 40!'

The only fly in the ointment is that Rodgers only has one year left on his contract. There is a willingness on both sides to sort out a new one, but you can imagine there will be some horse-trading, with Rodgers in a strong position to try to increase his salary and powerbase at the club.

'I came to Liverpool because I hoped it would be a destination rather than just a stop-off,' he insists. 'I felt it had everything you would want as a football manager, to be at one of the leading clubs in the world, to be allowed to build and develop a club as you wanted without interference and to have a great relationship with the owners and hopefully develop the team.

'I feel valued at the football club.


'It's been a wonderful 20 months. There have been some tough times but I love being here. We've still got a long way to go.'

City's draw against Sunderland on Wednesday night has been used by Rodgers as a warning to his players against complacency at Carrow Road.

'Norwich will be fighting for their lives, their families, livelihoods and a desire to remain in the best league in the world. They aren't going to lay over and die.

'Just because the finish line is in sight, we can't be putting our arms in the air ready to cycle over it.' Having been on the front foot all season, Rodgers is now looking for a sprint finish.

Not so long ago, Gerrard appeared resigned to never winning the title. In his book, My Liverpool Story, published in 2012, he stated: “It’ll be a miracle if I win the league with Liverpool but I’ll keep fighting.”

How does he feel about those words now? “There have been times when maybe I have given up on it – or been close to giving up on it. When you are finishing seventh or eighth and you see the gap to the top sides, it’s mentally tough. And then, come the end of the season you see the big hitters spending all kinds of money and making their squads even stronger...”

Gerrard’s voice tails away for a moment.

“But when Brendan came in I got a real feeling from him in our first conversation that I had. Not because we was telling me personally what he wanted from me but because I liked his vision for the club. I totally believe in this manager and his plans. I totally believe. I bought into that from the first conversation.

“He’s a phenomenal man for his age [41]. I think he’s going to grow into one of the world’s best managers and I hope he is here long after I am gone. I hope he is here for many, many years because this club is in great hands. Whatever happens now until the end of the season, it’s safe.

“He’s a winner, he’s hungry for success, he does the right things, he treats players well, he doesn’t try and control the football club, or get involved in stuff that has nothing to do with him. He just focuses on getting on the training pitch and coaching the team, improving individuals, improving the team and playing football the right way. That’s what the supporters want here.”

"if it was easy it wouldn't be worth doing"

Thank you brendan, another great 3 points, champions league (which is more than I was expecting), 5 points clear up until 2pm on Sunday 27 April 2014 and for giving us the chance to play another massive game that will live with me forever next week

not a game passes without the revealing of another shade of his class. In the centre of the hurricane and all our fears he's calm personified.

Cannot shower enough praise on the man. 100% I was in the sceptical camp to begin with and was a little concerned to say the least about the being Liverpool shows. He's totally proved me wrong.

Great win today and more than happy with the three points. I think it will be interesting to see what the next evolution of the squad is. I'm loving this run-in, and the lat thing I would want to do is wish the next few weeks away (I think), but I can't wait to see what the squad looks like come the start of September. I think the loss of Henderson and Sturridge as highlights that we've got a great starting 11, but a fairly weak bench (I'm not sure that's the biggest shock). But with loan signings coming back, a few comings and goings, and you've got to imagine 3-5 players who can start in the premiership/CL this team could change fairly significantly again. Exciting times!
If you can't walk in a straight line.... you shouldn't be playing for Liverpool. End of

Ever so faintly surprised that amid all the nervous relief on this forum we three are the only ones posting in appreciation of the manager who's taken us to within 7 points of the League Title, in his Second Season, having finished Seventh the previous season. 

In the press today a few articles where he's saying he wants to build a dynasty here.  The new stadium with 20,000 extra voices, better pitches at Melwood, generating a culture of technical young and gifted players given the freedom to play exciting football.

This man is going to go down in our history as a fucking legend.

So, let me get this straight. It's April 20th 2014, in Brendan's second season with us, after we finished seventh, and we've just guaranteed Champions League football for next season.

Have I got that right?
