Brendan Rodgers talks candidly in an in-depth interview in the new edition of Liverpool FC Magazine, which is on sale now.

The boss reflects on his first season at Anfield and explains how he aims to make improvements as he bids to mould a squad in his image.

The latest edition of Britain's biggest football club monthly also features exclusive interviews with Jose Enrique, who explains why criticism can be a positive, and Stewart Downing who talks about grabbing a second chance at LFC with both hands.

Elsewhere, Antonio Nunez talks about his Liverpool regret while club stalwart Ronnie Moran reflects on how he came to sign for the Reds in the first place.

We go behind the scenes in the classroom with members of the U21 squad and a trio of the Liverpool Ladies team at a pre-season photoshoot.

With the Merseyside derby coming up next month, we hear from someone who knows all about good Neighbours - soap star Alan Fletcher (aka Dr Karl Kennedy) - who lifts the lid on loving Liverpool from Ramsay Street.

There are also the latest views of columnists Dietmar Hamann, Neil Mellor and David Price, a fantastic photographic feature on life at Melwood and we also get to know some of the key staff who bring LFC TV to our screens every day.

All this and much, much more means issue nine of Liverpool FC magazine is an essential purchase for every Red.
