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.

More quotes by Brendan Rodgers
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
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
That ability to press immediately, within five or six seconds to get the ball, is important
Brendan Rodgers
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
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
I can categorically tell you that Mario Balotelli will not be at Liverpool.
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
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 will always fight for my life for Liverpool, and that will be on and off the field.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
