1st Images Of Full Squad Together For ‘Tiki-Taka’ Training
LIVERPOOL FC’s full complement of first team squad players were finally able to train together for the first time under new manager Brendan Rodgers, this morning.
Barring Craig Bellamy (who is widely expected to finalize a move away from the Reds for the second time in his career over the next couple of days, rejoining Cardiff City), Rodgers was finally able to begin implementation of the much vaunted ‘tiki-taka’ playing philosophy with his full squad in attendance, earlier today at Melwood.
The manager began training members of the squad back at the start of July, however this contained just a few members of the first team due to the Euro 2012 Championships, as well as Olympic tournament commitments.
Now Uruguay’s Olympic football dream ended last week, Luis Suarez and Sebastian Coates were finally able to rejoin the Reds squad to prepare for the new 2012/13 season, teaming up with new manager Brendan Rodgers for the first time.
Earlier today Suarez and co. took part in their first training session together, and as the following pictures show, the squad seem to be enjoying the manager’s new training methods already!

swansea b? haahaa what a stupid thing to say. some pool fans need to stop being so negative. brendon is an excellent man motivator and manager. if he can turn a championship side into a strong premiership side i cant wait to see what he can do with our boys. two or three more signings and we will be a very tough nut to crack. the only people who will call us swansea b if allen joins are jealous wanabees.

Have faith dudes. As much as the media is creating anxiety among LFC fans amidst paranoia of seeing valued team members go out the door with few coming in we must realise that BR achieved much and recently with championship players. He knows what he’s talking about. Technically speaking this crop of players should and will perform. If they don’t well he’s shown the door to a few of the biggest signings so no ones too valuable. No ones more valuable than the system. If anything has let LFC down of late its a sheer abcence of a system of play other than talismanic players being put on a pedestal and knocked down when the going get tough. This guy is bringing in a team philosophy. He can make egos meld into one team I guess. Evidence: Our first real game Vs Gommel LFC played average with obvious absentees in attack and defence and we won away. Beginners luck or the rub of the green that favours grafters? Well i’d like to think BR is a grafter and the latter is the case. So hang in there comrades. Rodgers will deliver. Gommel at home want trouncing just to get the fans onside. Good luck peeps.

With a donkey (Carroll), a meek lamb (Henderson), a pair of mules (Downing & Adam) and the ever-present jackasses (Carragher & Lucas), the only football that Liverpool could dish out week in week out is hihi haha, the poorer cousin of tiki taka.
