The other thing I have noticed about Rodgers is his massive confidence in what hje is doing. It took a lot of confience to start Sterling against city and play Coates rather than Carargher. Other managers are cautious Rodgers has total belief it seems in what is he trying to achieve
Agree 100% Stan. There are so many things he has torn up and that will be a positive for the team as a collective.
A few things I think are clear:
He's the boss.
Only 100% is enough. Anyone shirking will be benched or fired out.
Those who are up for the cause but maybe slightly lacking will be given a chance to prove themselves where possible. E.g. This LB angle with Downing.
He wants quality in every position and a backup to boot. As if every player was a first serve in Tennis. Second serves are not in the play book.
He is unbelievably positive which is infectious. When a team starts to succeed and belief in doing it his way increases they will walk through walls for the guy.
I'm now starting to understand the importance of the huge emphasis he places in the middle. His teams will dictate and control from the centre similar to Raffa. With the pace we are playing you cannot expect just Allen to do it week in week out. The guy would be finished inside 2 seasons and why the Real Madrid lad was so important

Maybe jumping the gun, but he has itemised the playing staff like an accountant. Be amazed if the dead wood wasn't gone by close of window and another couple of astute buys were not here for the weekend.
We played the champions and were better than them for most of the game. That is only the second EPL game the players have had together.
Never mind the negative stuff we are on the way up gentleman I can feel it in the force.
Patience belief and confidence we are on our way back!
