So maybe Suso will get some games then.

The question will be is he the next Alonso or the next Torres?

Have to agree. Seriously seriously impressive. Not just what he said but the fact you know from watching the interviews the he SO SO means what he says. One of the most honest, candid and impressive interviews I have seen.

We need to get behind this guy, be patient and trust him.

That interview was so interesting and the way he talks about the game so refreshing. Nice to hear his views and I very much liked the passion and honesty he has and shows.

As someone else said he makes me want to play for him and be part of what he’s building. Also I agree that it is such a good idea to utilize Lucas while injured.

Rome wasn't built in a day.

it's called modern day football which is full of knee jerk reactionary idiots. it'll get worse if we lose our next two games.

you only have to look at spurs fans who have booed their team off in the last two games, three games into AVB's reign.

Yes but he IS sh'it

To compare the 2 is an interesting exercise just from the perspective of instinct as he was touted as a world class manager we should be looking at. There is something about AVB that comes across as he just isn't ready for the high profile jobs he is getting. I don't trust him and I don't believe in him. I held my comments back when he was at Chelsea as I don't think anyone is to be trusted or could feel comfortable at that club, but now he is at Spurs, he reminds me of a rich kid playing big boys games. I have obviously nothing to back that up particularly, but Rodgers doesn't give me that feeling at all. I would walk behind Brendan and not AVB. If a manager cannot reassure and inspire, they are nowhere.

Very inspiring and extremly refreshing.
He has a work ethic and principles that i don't think anyone can argue with and the most impresesive thing for me is his ambition and dedication.

Fair play to him, any fan who watches this should understand that we may take some time to get where everyone wants to be but we are certainly heading in the right direction and not treading water or going backwards.

Haven't been able to see that Rogers interview yet, but AFAIC, I'm only interested if any positive words are translated onto the pitch. Anyone can talk a load of old guff, but if the theory doesn't show up as practice, then it isn't worth shite, to be honest.

Watch the videos, it's certainly not a load of guff!!!

Im not really interested in anything the manager says in his interviews.

He can say that the team bake fairy cakes after training for all I care.

Talk is cheap......

Lets see how he handles pressure, when the temperature in the kitchen raises.......+

Lets see what he does on the pitch with a thin squad, in this "results" business, called football. With europa games  on thursday + league games sat/sun between now and christmas I predict a rough ride.

His talk of not signing in the transfer window and so , bringing the "inexperienced" players into the fray made the hair on my neck stand on end to be frank. A lot are no where near yet good enough, and that is a bad mistake.

He also seemed quite inexperienced during that interview. I fear a lot of " trial and error" during brendans reign.

Those who are bowled over listening to the manager talk,must realise he is in new territory as manager of lfc. Dont take everything he says as gospel

Is that gospel?

Not at all. Just a comment

Reputations aren't built by words but by ACTIONS!

No matter how warm and tingly you get, these interviews mean f**k all when you analyse our season in 8 months time.

Results mean everything in this game, that's why Mourinho is a world class manager despite being a f**king world class w**ker.

true, there have been many managers in the past that have talked a great game but couldnt translate those words into performances on the pitch (malcolm allison etc)
being a great communicator doesnt make you a great manager, bob paisley wasnt a great talker but as he said himself he let his teams do the talking for him, if he had anything to say his teams said it for him, where it counts - on the pitch.
there`s a lot to like about rodgers but it has to be said he hasnt won anything yet, he hasnt even won a johnsons paint trophy or a leyland D.A.F trophy or anything. he`s been fast tracked to the top and it will be interesting to see if he can handle it.
i`m sure he knows himself teams play their way to the top, not talk their way.
