That ability to press immediately, within five or six seconds to get the ball, is important

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.

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

Giving Play Player
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.

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.

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.

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

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
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.
