In reference to one of their youth players 'Suso'..
"He reminds me of Iniesta, only he has the potential to be twice the player iniesta is.
I'd be looking to start the season with suso, jonjo and gerrard in the centre and an attacking 3 of sterling, pacheco and suarez/borini"

That was the non-Spurs event that amused me most last season.
Absolutely brilliant, made even better by the fact the scousers seem it total denial that it happened.
You may have finished above Liverpool but you were never better than them, they are the best team in the world and don't you forget it. :^)

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers outlines new 'culture, philosophy and game plan' to American owners
Brendan Rodgers, the Liverpool manager, has presented a 180-page manifesto to the club’s owners detailing his vision for the future of the club.
Liverpool chairman Tom Werner and principal owner John W. Henry were handed the comprehensive blueprint outlining Rodgers’ football ideology during the negotiations to appoint their new manager.
The 39-year-old coach has taken a meticulously methodical approach to oversee the club’s revival, ensuring roles on and off the pitch are clearly defined for his players and staff.
The document went into fine detail on issues such as players’ positioning, the passing options that should be available at any given time and the ethos that should be created around the football club. It evidently made an instant impression on Fenway Sports Group when they offered Rodgers the job.
“I presented to them with a document on my culture, philosophy and game plan,” explained Rodgers. “It’s a model, a short cut to how I work, the kind of players I want tactically and the personality traits of those players. It also includes my thoughts on the Academy and how we move forward. The vision is simple.
“To win the most trophies we can. That’s the bigger picture. The second is to play attractive, attacking football to win games. The third is to bring through as many of the young players as we possibly can. The principles are based on this.
“I started this [document] over 15 years ago. It’s something I have been piecing together for many years and when I became a manager I put it into a format with a philosophy and methodology.
“I always wanted to go into a club with a clear philosophy about where everyone is heading and going. Thankfully at two of my three clubs as manager I’ve been able to create a one-club mentality and it’s been successful.
“That is the single biggest concern for this year. To define a model of play that can entertain the supporters and win games, to build a squad that will allow us to compete in all the competitions.”
Although captain Steven Gerrard believes a return to the top four is achievable this season, Rodgers is understandably cautious about how long it will take.
“My ambition is to be as high up the league as we possibly can and there’s no doubt over the next few years we want to be challenging for a Champions League place,” he said.
“I know where the club is at this moment and I don’t want to be talking too much garbage at the beginning of my time here.
“The reality for this season is to build a squad that can be competitive. It took Tottenham six transfer windows to put together a squad that could finish in the top four. In the last three years, we’ve finished sixth, seventh and eighth. My job is improve on that without being disrespectful to anyone who went before me, to get the club back into the top echelons where it has not been for a few years.
"There are many more teams to knock off the perch now. This is a club that has won 18 league titles and the ambition is to make sure we are in a position to add a few more. We need to become competitive before you can even consider (going for the title). It is like getting knocked out of the FA Cup every year in the first or second round but then saying you are going to win it.
"We have just got to make sure we stabilise. The last couple of years have been traumatic in many ways, on and off the field. I want us to try and create (success) and create it as quick as we can. I am not waiting for it. I could give you a list of problems but it won’t help anything. We have to find a way to go forward and challenge again. We need a one city, one club mentality. If we don’t, if we fail, it will be because of not sticking together and nothing else. If we can stay as one, we have a real chance.”
Despite his detailed plan, Rodgers insists he wants artistry rather than a formulaic approach from his team.
“For me football is an art not a science,” he said. “The only statistic I want to know is how good we have been with the ball. In my cultural upbringing, on my travels, the statistic that interested me was if you were better than your opponent with the football you have a 79 per cent chance of winning the game. Basically, you have an eight of 10 chance of winning, so I’ve followed that my career.
"Of course you may lose the ninth or 10th, but my world has been devoted to that. It won’t always be perfect and you won’t always play well, but I would rather control games and dominate games and have that possibility rather than wait for something to happen. My world has been about creating rather than waiting. If you wait, you rely on somebody else to make a mistake. If you create you do everything possible to win the game. I’d rather lose a game trying to win it than lose it trying to not get beat.”

Rodgers has come across this summer as someone that says all the right things but is a bit of a chancer. I was initially impressed, but his Carroll u-turn turned me right off.
He seems to be saying a lot of things to make the right PR moves, the stuff about not going back to Swansea for players, his massively detailed plans, it all seems like he talks too much without much substance. I'm sure he does have substance, I'm sure he knows his stuff when it comes to creating a possession based team for example, but he seems to really over do it.

A deluded article from the Liverpool Echo this time claiming they beat us to the signing of Brendan Rodgers as manager even though Redknapp was still our manager when he was appointed. :-k
Blood Red: Getting Brendan Rodgers as manager could be Liverpool FC’s first and vital victory of the season over rivals Tottenham
If LIVERPOOL end their tour of North America on a high in the scorching heat of Baltimore’s M&T Bank Stadium today it won’t be their first triumph over Tottenham this summer.
The Premier League rivals have already gone head to head once in recent months and there was only one winner. When Spurs chairman Daniel Levy decided he was going to terminate Harry Redknapp’s reign he set his sights on taking Brendan Rodgers to White Hart Lane.
An approach was made to the Swansea City manager and with Rodgers also aware of Liverpool’s interest in his services, he soon found himself with a big decision on his hands.
On the face of it Levy must have fancied his chances of coming out on top. Spurs’ squad certainly boasts the much greater depth and the Londoners have finished above Liverpool in each of the past three seasons.
Only Chelsea’s shock Champions League final triumph denied Tottenham a place in this term’s competition.
But Rodgers turned his back on the prospect of life in the capital to take on the challenge of succeeding Kenny Dalglish. That’s testament to Liverpool’s enduring appeal as well as Rodgers’ belief that the greater potential for improvement lies at Anfield.
Simply the fact that the Spurs job was becoming vacant must have been a source of concern for the Northern Irishman. After all Redknapp inherited a team in the drop zone and lifted them to eighth, followed by finishes of fourth, fifth and fourth in the subsequent campaigns, but still got the bullet. What more did Spurs reasonably expect?
In contrast Liverpool’s squad drastically under-achieved last season. Eighth with 52 points was a dismal return considering the sizeable outlay on new recruits.

What an absolute joke of an article! And the scousers will all fall for it as well!
Is the Echo just a media arm of RAWK??

Its a bit sad. They seem to be in a bit of denial at the moment about how far they've fallen in the last few years, trying desperatley to hype up any small victory they have (or in this case dreamed up) in order to maintain what they believe is their position as one of the biggest clubs in the country. Thing is many more seasons like they've just had and their history wont mean fudge all when it comes to attracting players. A spell in midtable might be a good cure for their delusions.....or maybe not .
