The Page That Needs Two Heads Sit down for this one: The 1990s was quite a long time ago. Plus Real Madrid keep on being Real Madrid, and Alex McLeish is ready for more 'glory'...

Blame It On The Good Times The fallout from Liverpool's 6-1 defeat to Stoke (and poor season) continues, with Martin Samuel dusting off an old argument and presenting it as new in the Daily Mail. Oh yes, we're on Liverpool's transfer committee again. 'There are 24 signings credited to Brendan Rodgers at Liverpool and it is hard to get a decent starting XI from the lot of them,' Samuel begins. 'Some, like Daniel Sturridge, have been dogged by bad luck. Others, like Emre Can, may train on. Most, like Mario Balotelli, have been hopeless. Yet how many are actually his? Liverpool's recruitment policy is run by a transfer committee. To what extent is Rodgers taking a very public fall for the mistakes of colleagues?' Haven't we done this a thousand times before? Firstly, Rodgers is a large part of Liverpool's transfer committee. As managing director Ian Ayre explains: "We have a head of analysis, a head of recruitment, a first-team manager, myself. A combination of old-school scouting and watching players - and that's Brendan, his assistants, our scouts - with statistical analysis of players across Europe and the rest of the world." Rodgers himself is clear on the issue: "The principle idea when I first came in was that like any manager you will have the first call on a player and the last call. That's the call on whether he's good enough to continue to look at and try to organise a deal and the last call to say yes or no. We will never bring in a player here who the manager doesn't want in." Secondly, let's not pretend Rodgers didn't know what he was getting himself into. "When I came to Liverpool I knew 100 per cent how the club worked," he said three weeks ago, defending the transfer committee. "But on top of that we have a good team of people here and we all work well together - we understand the model here and how it functions." Next, we would be more inclined to believe that Rodgers wasn't driving the deals if Liverpool hadn't purchased Joe Allen and Fabio Borini (for £27m), both players Rodgers had previously worked with. Most importantly of all, Mediawatch is almost certain that Liverpool's transfer committee isn't responsible for Rodgers' insistence on forcing players (including new signings) out of position. Was Emre Can recruited as a right wing-back? Was Lazar Markovic recruited on the same basis? Was Rickie Lambert scouted as a lone striker? Was Dejan Lovren really picked with a back three in mind?
