Very local. Well to their fan base anyway, Bermondsey.

That right? Expect they will laud him as the latest product of their conveyor belt of local talent.
Like, er, y'know, er, him, that lad, er, thingy.
Werld class him, that thingy.

fixedI've no idea how Argentina keep faith with him. He's destroyed two finals for them in the space of 12 months. I saw Napoli a few times toward the end of last season and he looks disinterested and/or shot in confidence terms.
Maybe Brendan's man management skills can turn him into a wife beater?

Kinda of what I was saying in a previous post who was the last world class player that came through their system. To me the truth is they cannot wait so hope buying players will get them into trophies and CL in short time.
Still awaiting your preview son... don't be calling on nobody else.

The rats are deserting a sinking ship - first Sterling, now their Far East fanbase:
Are Liverpool FC losing their appeal in the Far East?
Stadium was barely half-full for Reds friendly in Bangkok... where has everybody gone?

Liverpool’s sixth visit to Thailand is complete. Brendan Rodgers’ squad have flown on to Australia for the second leg of their gruelling fortnight-long tour as they prepare for Friday’s friendly with Brisbane Roar.
On the field, there were few issues in Bangkok. The Reds enjoyed an emphatic 4-0 victoryover the Thai All Stars as mediocre opposition were brushed aside with a minimum of fuss in monsoon conditions.
However, off the field there was genuine cause for concern with the 50,000-capacity Rajamangala Stadium only half full.
Liverpool’s fanatical support in Thailand is well documented. The passion for the club is immense and hysteria still accompanied the Reds’ every move.
Yet numbers on this tour were well down compared to previous visits.
Rafael Benitez’s Liverpool played in front of a full house at the Rajamangala in 2009 and there were 45,000 there in 2013 when Rodgers’ side beat the All Stars 3-0. This time that figure was somewhere between 25,000 and 30,000.
It was a similar story at other events across the city and at the team hotel – hundreds rather than thousands packing in to catch a glimpse of their heroes.
Only around 1,500 fans watched open training 24 hours before the match – there were 10 times that amount two years ago.
So are Liverpool losing their lustre? Is a meagre trophy haul of just one League Cup in the past nine years denting their global appeal?
And do they now lack the kind of box office performers required to make watching them the hottest ticket in town?
The latter is certainly an issue with the absence of Steven Gerrard keenly felt. His popularity in Thailand is massive. The majority of fans wearing shirts in the team hotel still had his name on the back.
We have lost some 'magnets' to bring people to see Liverpool
Since Liverpool’s last visit in 2013 they have lost Luis Suarez and Raheem Sterling as well as Gerrard. With Daniel Sturridge injured and Philippe Coutinho still on holiday after the Copa America, there was a shortage of stellar names.

“I do think the lack of star names is a big part of it,” he told the ECHO.

Well that's a shame isn't it?

They're having a meltdown. It's ace.
Anybody seen any transfer links for Balotelli, Borini or Enrique? They were all left out of the preseason tour as a "hint" but haven't seen them linked to any other clubs yet.
Clyne denies showing Hodgson lack of respect
"He would have joined Manchester United if the chance had been offered. However Louis van Gaal decided to sign Torino’s Matteo Darmian instead. Clyne said the admiration of Brendan Rodgers, the manager, made the transfer to Anfield attractive".
Oh no Nathan, you can't say that. One bad game and the abuse will start.

Rodgers on pre-season thrashing of Thai team
Seems like the 'new' technical direction has started. We now have the 'low to medium' block that will be spouted by the RS dominated media. But true to the man with the imposter syndrome, he pinched the idea of a sports writer.
"The logical conclusion to take from the theoretical resultant of these two systems of defending is that the best method to achieve the highest possible efficient way of defending is a hybrid of both low to medium block compactdefence and a high pressing defence.
Total defending is a hybrid between zonal and man to man marking used in a clever way. It involves two phases of play: high pressing and low block defending. Bayern have mastered the art of structurally changing the way they defend mid-game. In other words, they interchange between man marking and zonal marking as the situation demands".

Or maybe he was talking about a pair of shoes his Judy asked him to buy.
