indeed a very good point. Hence the scouting of players character is ever so important. hEnderson was never crap but incredibly safe and therefore offered nothing. Now that he has started to express himself he has looked like the player many who know him feel he could be.
Confidence is the key as is the fear of the chop.

For downing and enrique they knew that this was their last chance at a big club, the response has been fantastic although this does not mean they will not be replaced. Henderson just needed to back himself and show what he has done for the U21s, on the front foot he is an excellent player. He is only 22 though.

I think Joe Cole was already finished when he came to us, this is why Chelsea didn't renew his contract. He can have a couple of proper games, but no more. How is doing at W. Ham?

He's doing really well at the hammers actually. Gotten several match winning assists and already scored as many goals as he did with us.

So why could he not do it for us ?

If I knew that, I'd probably be a football manager.

Probably the manager there knows better how to get the best of him then, cannot think of anything else.

I woud say because he never gave a toss about us. He's at his boyhood club again, and he cares how they do. He's there to play for them, he was here to get a nice paycheck.

Then following threats from Rodgers they turn into players who are four times as good as they were months previously. Credit to Rodgers for this.

But what I cannot understand is how this situation can be? Were they deliberately not trying and why? How can a professional athlete earning £50k plus a week have to be motivated in such a way to perform. And how many others are deliberately playing under their optimum right now?

Am I being unfair ? Is there something I am not understanding ? Given we fans are playing through the nose to pay for these buggers I we should expect everyone.of them to apply themselves but questions need to be asked why these three are so dramatically different.

Motivation is a complex psychological thing and comes mainly from within, but can be influenced by the environment, such as inducements, bonus"s etc, Rodgers is well up on all this stuff, and I wouldn't be surprised if he's studied Maslow's 'Hierarchy of need's' in which he sets out his theory on motivation. No doubt FSGs approach to payment on performance is a help. However the use of fear while useful as a short term prompt is self defeating in the longer run. One way or another Rodgers is getting a lot more out of some players than Kenny did.
