More quotes by Brendan Rodgers
My biggest mentor is myself because I've had to study, so that's been my biggest influence.
Brendan Rodgers
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.
Brendan Rodgers
If you give a bad player time, he can play. If you give a good player time, he can kill you.
Brendan Rodgers
Statistics and numbers are no good unless you have good people to analyse and then interpret their meaning and importance.
Brendan Rodgers
They brought on someone who cost more than our stadium.
Brendan Rodgers
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
It's not always plain sailing... especially when you're flying!
Brendan Rodgers
The Merseyside derby games are unique in the city.
Brendan Rodgers
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
I will always fight for my life for Liverpool, and that will be on and off the field.
Brendan Rodgers
Liverpool Football Club is the heartland of football folklore
Brendan Rodgers
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
Look at Tottenham. You spend over £100-odd million, you'd expect to be challenging for the league.
Brendan Rodgers
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
I can categorically tell you that Mario Balotelli will not be at Liverpool.
Brendan Rodgers
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
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.
Brendan Rodgers
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
I must have just dreamed that about Liverpool playing 3-4-3. What do people think that was, a bit of luck? A British coach playing 3-4-3? A foreign coach doing that would be a tactical genius. I imagine people think I fell into that system through a stroke of luck or something... it took some thought. I didn't just throw them out there.
Brendan Rodgers
If one day I go to a game and I don't feel I can win, maybe I don't go.
Brendan Rodgers
