The analysis of statistics is a big part of the modern game, and it’s important as a modern manager to embrace areas that can help your team and players improve.

Brendan Rodgers

I think I’ve proven I can build a team that plays a way of football that excites and challenges at the top end of the table.

Football Team Thinking
The quality of people you have around you as a manager is so vital. There are various factors that influence that process; fitness, form and the tactical approach to your opponent are all areas I review on a daily basis.

Statistics and numbers are no good unless you have good people to analyse and then interpret their meaning and importance.

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.

Football Men Thinking
I think my history as a coach shows I like players who are gifted technically and have courage when it comes to being in possession of a football. That is a key quality for me.

Football Player Thinking
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.

Even more important than statistics is then having the staff that can take the data and ensure it’s presented in a way that improves individuals and teams.
BRENDAN RODGERS

Data Important Team
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.

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.

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.

Football People Thinking
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.

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

Football Successful Trying
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.
