Just watched the first part of that Liverpool doc. Two things really struck me.
1) The sheer inanity of Brendan Rogers dealings with the players. Everything seems to need to be the most important thing ever. To get the players to do ANYTHING he seems to need to give a rousing Churchilian speech
2) The childisness of the players. The part where they were getting a yoga lessons was incredible. There has been a plenty of examples in recent years of players extending their careers with yoga (Ryan Giggs being the prime example). Yet all the player's seemed to think it was all a joke, and they where incredibly disreptful to the teacher. It was like watching a group of 11 year old boys. It explains why Rogers needs to treat them like sheep.

BTW this isn't a pop at Liverpool. I'm sure every club is the same. And I know I shouldn't be surprised, but Christ

It really says something that the worst players recently have been the senior players who should have stood out as leaders (Gerrard, Reina, Carra and so on).
Something's obviously rotten somewhere when the best players so far this season have been a Welsh newcomer and a 17 year old winger.
There's a good bit in one of the next episodes where Brendan tears Sterling a new one for his attitude (basically being told to lose the attitude or take the first flight back home to the reserves) during the US preseason tour. It obviously worked.
That said, I really don't think it's much better in most of the other PL clubs (Rooney being the prime example).
Still, as a football fan, and Liverpool fan especially, quite interesting to watch.

Seriously, I hope LFC guard that talent well. Watched lots of reserve games with him last year, and that talent is fucking huge. I did expect him to struggle a bit more initially, but the lad's been on fire since the City match.
He should expect a new vastly improved contract quite soon I'm sure. Not like he's broke anyway.

In a way, our failure on deadline day could be a good thing long term, lots of our young lads will get the opportunity this season. A few have already done well (Wisdom and Suso yesterday), so they need to grab that opportunity. Luckily the academy has been doing great work recently, and unlike Kenny Brendan isn't scared to play them.
I genuinely think we should have a good solid foundation of homegrown players in just a few years. Too bad that last year was just useless.
