Rogers Wants Attractive Football

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers wants a return to the old pass and move style that was synonymous with the club during their halcyon days.

Rodgers is an avid student of the game and the style and philosophy of his Swansea team last term saw them dubbed "the Barcelona of the Premier League".

Many observers believe he will take that same style to Anfield, however, the former Watford manager insists Liverpool do not need to emulate any club's style, because they already have their own unique brand of play.

"The way I want to play here is the Liverpool way," he told the club's official website.

Tiki-Taka

"The history and tradition of this club has been about offensive football, attacking football - but always with discipline.

"The game will be based around what Liverpool are about, which is control, dominating games with the ball, working very hard when you haven't got the ball, and keeping the game as simple as possible.

"Of course I'll bring in a certain philosophy which I'm attached to, but the principles of your game are based around the players.

"I suppose the Tiki-Taka football has come from Barcelona and that Spanish version. It probably came up with the players at Swansea, who referred to it a lot in our training and our work on having the ball and resting on the ball."

Winning

Resting on the ball is a phrase the Northern Irishman has coined which means working as hard as you can to recover possession and only resting once you have it.

Yet, Rodgers knows that what Liverpool fans ultimately want to see is winning football, and he is determined to bring that.

"It doesn't matter if it's Tiki-Taka football or possession football - the supporters and all of us want winning football. That's what the philosophy will be about," he added.

"It will be about playing attractive, attacking football full of imagination. For me the best thing about the game other than scoring goals is having the football, and that'll be the idea and the fundamentals we'll work on - but they are playing ultimately to win.

"We're in the business of winning and hopefully we can entertain along the way."

you aint joking there bazza...!!! having the philosophy is one thing and implementing it is another.
asking the likes of henderson and adam to do this is a waste of time.All very well until other teams impose themselves too and then the lfc midfield disapears.
lets remember too that something like 65pcent of swanseas football was in their own half...hardly barca style and i find it rather insulting to ones inteligence to mention swansea in the same sentence as barcelona tbh.
Personaly i wish brendan well but he may well be like a rabbit snared in the headlights at anfield.only time will tell.hes been sent into the fray by fsg who are hiding behind him.if he succeeds great...if he doesnt..well what can one expect from a manager sacked by reading.good luck brendan!! :rolleyes:

I like attractive football, but winning ugly gets you the same points.

Winning is what matters, being able to vary your style to ensure you win is more important than playing attractive football.
Jurgen Klopp: 'It's only this game because of the fans, that's what I know, think and feel. We have to entertain them, we have to make their life better.
Football is not so important, we don't save lives. We're not doctors. It's our job that they can forget their problems for 90 minutes and then they can talk about the game.'
