Liverpool vs Chelsea...Rodgers we don't Need all these Long Talk!

Brendan Rodgers is anticipating a win on Teusday at Anfield. According to him, he doesn't talk much with Mourinho who gave him job in the youth team few years back; but his respect for him is still sacrosanct.

"As a manager the big part of it is the players you have, that is the reality. Of course you can make an impact and make them better but if you come into a group of super-experienced players who have won consistently, you are going to have a better chance to win trophies - it's not rocket science."
"I have never really seen it as a direct match-up against the other manager because there are so many things that can dictate that. For me it is just about winning the game, regardless of the manager."

Concerning his relationship with Mouriho:

"There's probably not as much contact but the respect hasn't left," he said. "The opportunity to work with him during that period of three-and-a-half years was invaluable for me but in some way I hope I helped him as well because there was a lot of communication.
"I have a huge respect for a wonderful man and coach but in time you are so engrossed in your own work you don't communicate as much and ultimately you could be a rival but the respect hasn't dropped."

He also accepted the fact that Liverpool has not yet been a better team this season:

"Earlier in this season, not just the Chelsea game, there were a number of games we weren't so good in. At this moment in time it is a different feeling, a different aggression with the squad so hopefully we can go into these two games and be positive."
