Victimpool FC - Klopp leaving, grown men crying

1. ”It was a perfect away performance, apart from the first 10 minutes.”

2. “I’ve always said that you can live without water for many days, but you can’t live for a second without hope.”

3. On Luis Suarez: “He is a real warrior of spirit.”

4. “My biggest mentor is myself because I’ve had to study, so that’s been my biggest influence.”

5. “I am not a power freak.” (We think the lady doth protest too much!)

6. “I started coaching for one reason and that was to make a difference for people, not just as footballers but as human beings.”

7. “When we have the football, everybody’s a player.”

8. “You train dogs, I like to educate players.”

9. ‘I think there’s three players who will let us down this year — the cause, the fight, everything – and I have written them down already in these three envelopes. Make sure you are not in one of the envelopes.”

10.”I use a quote with the players,“Per aspera ad astra”, which is Latin for ‘through adversity to the stars’.”

11. “When you’ve got the ball 65-70% of the time, it’s a football death for the other team. We’re not at that stage yet, but that’s what we will get to. It’s death by football. You just suck the life out of them.”

12. “Joe Allen is one of the most courageous players I’ve seen.

13. “I will leave no stone unturned in my quest – and that quest will be relentless.”

14. “I always say a squad is like a good meal – I’m not a great cook but a good meal takes a wee bit of time, but also to offer a good meal you need good ingredients.”

15. “All I’ll ever do is all I’ve ever done in any job, and that’s promise to fight for my life for the people of the city.”

16. On the ‘Being: Liverpool’ documentary: “It was something I didn’t watch, and thankfully it’s over.”

17. “I’ve always worked along the statistic, that if you can dominate the game with the ball you have a 79% chance of winning a game of football.”

18. “I believe a young player will run through a barbed wire fence for you. An older player looks for a hole in the fence.”

19. “The problem with being a manager is it’s like trying to build an aircraft while it is flying.”

20. “We play with 11 men, other teams play with 10 men and a goalkeeper.”

“I can categorically tell you Mario Balotelli will not be at Liverpool,” Rodgers said on the eve of Liverpool’s game against Manchester United in Miami.

“In my last press conference I was asked a question about Mario Balotelli and I talked about what a talent he was and what an excellent player he was. And the next day it was wrote as if we were signing him. I just gave my perception of him as a player. It shouldn’t be transmitted into us signing the player.”

Rodgers on Moyes:
"David will be fine there. He'll get it right"

On LVG:
"I think the competition will probably take him by surprise"

“We proved last season that we can handle the pressure of a title run-in."

"They are all big signings for us because they will all make a big contribution,” Rodgers said. “Maybe for the media there is guessing how we spend the money but you only spend the money if the players are there. What we can’t do is spend for the sake of it. The players we’ve brought in are players we wanted anyway."

"Our signings are strategic. They are not just names. They all fit into the purpose of the team, but of course we want them to make a contribution. If that means we do not spend all the money or the net spend is the same, then so be it. "

"There is a responsibility [to spend well]. I have always said at every club I’ve been at, the club’s money is my money. I work for the club. I’m there to serve the club and run it the best I can on the field and work with the owners off it. They know I push for the best players to come in and they trust how we work. I would not pay more than a value. If clubs sense there is an opportunity to get more out of us it won’t happen. We are very unified in how we work in that way."

"It's a different club and different vision we have here. At Liverpool there's a strategy behind what we are doing."

"We talked a lot with our recruitment team last season, knowing that through the summer we needed to improve the depth of our squad."

"Clearly we were not strong enough last season in terms of numbers and quality."

Last one came only a week after this one: "Last January everyone was crying out that we needed more signings. We never signed anyone. OK, we might have done one or two but it was not a major factor in us not winning [the title]."
 
Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren has suffered a torn abdominal muscle, according to the Croatian Football Federation.

The centre-half has withdrawn from his country's squad for European Qualifiers against Bulgaria and Azerbaijan after pulling out of a training session.

And a statement on the Croatian Football Federation website read: "During training on Wednesday Lovren felt pain in the abdominal wall.

"Igor Boric (a specialist) at St Catherine Hospital showed there was a tear and he will not be ready for performances in Sofia and Osijek."

Lovren is now set to return to Liverpool for further assessment and there is no indication yet whether he stands to miss any club matches.
 
Every day there is another story like this now, it will get disruptive for Liverpool just like it did with us when we was selling our best players almost every season

Chelsea have been linked with a surprise £48m move for Liverpool's 19-year-old England midfielder Raheem Sterling.
 
Has sterling signed a new deal with pool yet to increase his wages, if not it could be Chelsea deliberately up to some mischief.
 
I wonder how the cult will like this ???

Luis Suárez claims Liverpool would never have mounted their unexpected title challenge last season without him.

The Barcelona forward scored 31 Premier League goals, as the Reds finished runners-up to Emirates Marketing Project, despite him missing a significant portion when banned for biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic.

The striker returned with 19 goals in his first 12 league appearances as Liverpool gathered increasing momentum on their way to second place

"Personal success is always welcome and makes you happy, because that's recognition of the good work you have done," said Suarez.

"But I put the team ahead of that and last season Liverpool came so close to winning the Premier League, which would have been spectacular."

Suarez added on fcbarcelona.com: "I appreciate all the work the team did but I missed six matches and scored all those goals in the Premier League without being the penalty-taker.

"The truth is that I left very happy because if I hadn't had the attitude and mentality to want to lead the team forward, I don't think Liverpool would have done as well as they did either.

"Getting back into the Champions League was another target I had in mind."

The Uruguayan says he accepts responsibility for most of his past misdemeanours - including bites on Ivanovic and Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini - but he is still "upset" over his punishment for racially abusing Manchester United's Patrice Evra.

"It is good to accept that you have made a mistake and that's what I did," he said, in reference to the Chiellini bite.

"I left it a few days because you have to remember that I'm only human and sometimes it's hard to face the truth. I found it hard to take in and to realise what I had done. Those were days when I didn't want to know about it.

"I just wanted to be with my wife and children, who supported me through that time. I didn't want to listen to anybody, or speak to anybody. I didn't want to accept it. When I say I'm sorry it's because I regret something. Being sorry implies regret.

"But they have also sometimes judged me on things that aren't true, such as the racism thing. I was accused without evidence and that's what grieved me the most.

"The others were actions when it was me who did wrong. I accepted that and begged forgiveness, but the racism thing, when I was accused without evidence, that did upset me."
 
Liverpool's £16m striker Mario Balotelli, 24, has blamed manager Brendan Rodgers' tactics for the fact he has scored just one goal since his arrival from Milan in the summer. ( Independent )

Sturridge injured again :D

Out for one more month
Click to expand...

This is the thing; I'm sure I read when the injury first happened that medics feared he'd be out before xmas and then all this "he's nearly back" Spurs-style charade.

I think they are media-managing his absence actually; Spurs-style....
