Glen: I keep learning from Brendan
Glen Johnson has lifted the lid on the motivational qualities possessed by Brendan Rodgers and admits he feels like he's learning all the time from the manager.
The full-back enjoyed a fine campaign in Rodgers' maiden season at the Anfield helm - and he's relished playing under the tutelage of the Northern Irishman.
Johnson told the official Liverpool FC Magazine: "Liverpool has always been known as a club that plays good football but the manager is trying his own thing in terms of tactics.
"Even down to the meetings - I don't think once this season I've looked at my watch or felt like yawning. When Brendan talks, he gets your attention. You fully believe in him.
"There have been times throughout my career when managers have taken ages to explain something very simple. But even if Brendan's meetings went on longer it wouldn't matter because he explains himself in a way that gets you excited as a player.
"Whether it's tactics, motivation or something negative - stuff we should and shouldn't do - I always feel like I've learned something."
