It's not always plain sailing... especially when you're flying!

Liverpool Football Club is the heartland of football folklore
Brendan Rodgers
Image
I will always fight for my life for Liverpool, and that will be on and off the field.
Brendan Rodgers
Image
In football there is very rarely a typical day - there are always issues and challenges that arise from nowhere, and as manager you have to be ready to deal with them.
Brendan Rodgers
Image
If you give a bad player time, he can play. If you give a good player time, he can kill you.
Brendan Rodgers
Image
That ability to press immediately, within five or six seconds to get the ball, is important
Brendan Rodgers
Image
When you've got the ball 65-70% of the time, it's a football death for the other team...It's death by football.
Brendan Rodgers
Image
I've always been one to arrive early for work preparation is a big part of how I work, and I like to be in my office going through plans for the upcoming training sessions or meetings I have.
Brendan Rodgers
Image
My days tend to be packed, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I enjoy my work, and it is a privilege to do what I do.
Brendan Rodgers
Image
A player's character is a crucial factor I look into before committing to signing them. They also need to show a willingness to learn, regardless of age and experience that's very important to me.
Brendan Rodgers
Image
Status does not matter. It is what you are like as a player. It doesn't matter how much money you have come for. That doesn't matter to me. I will play a 17-year-old if he fights and he has quality. It is quite easy.
Brendan Rodgers
Image
If one day I go to a game and I don't feel I can win, maybe I don't go.
Brendan Rodgers
Image
I will leave no stone unturned in my quest - and that quest will be relentless - to try and get Liverpool back on the map again as a successful football club.
Brendan Rodgers
Image
My template for everything is organisation. With the ball you have to know the movement patterns, the rotation, the fluidity and positioning of the team. When we have the football everybody's a player.
Brendan Rodgers
Image
I think football management has obviously changed and evolved in terms of practices and methods, but I would say the values we strive to hold are the same as great men like Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley.
Brendan Rodgers
Image
I have a senior staff meeting every day, with key personnel who interface with the players - coaches, the medical staff, our analyst department. This is a useful exercise as it means we are all across what is happening and they are aware of my expectations.
Brendan Rodgers
Image
I know how it goes. Six or seven months ago I was the manager of the year and I was going to be this and that, tactically this and tactically that, and now, because we have lost two world-class players, I am useless. But I accept that.
Brendan Rodgers
Image
I don't see coach job stressful, I really don't. Of course, there is pressure and expectation, but I wouldn't necessarily equate that with stress.
Brendan Rodgers
Image
Look at Tottenham. You spend over £100-odd million, you'd expect to be challenging for the league.
Brendan Rodgers

I dictate entirely how the team is prepared, and I am a hands-on coach I love to be out there with the players taking the sessions.
