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.

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
I can categorically tell you that Mario Balotelli will not be at Liverpool.
Brendan Rodgers
Image
I meet regularly with my staff to ensure they are aware of what I want, but also to make sure they have the chance to influence the process and use all of their knowledge to help prepare the group.

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.

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
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 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.

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

The Merseyside derby games are unique in the city.

If you give a bad player time, he can play. If you give a good player time, he can kill you.

Image
My biggest mentor is myself because I've had to study, so that's been my biggest influence.
Brendan Rodgers
Image
They have a choice as a club. They don't have to sell. Maybe Southampton's objectives have changed. They were looking to be a Champions League club, I believe. They obviously wanted to change... I don't have sympathy, no.

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.
