This is the age old argument of why managers don't want to send their players off on national team duty. I doubt it's as clear cut as England's training methods being prehistoric, there would appear to be some hyperbole coming from the LFC PR machine.

Agreed, Rodgers is pissed off, as he is entitled to be. But if you are gonna sign international level players, that's the risk you take. It's like managers complaining about Africa Cup of Nations. So the player wasn't African when you bought them? You couldn't possibly expect they might be playing in that tournament?
Of course it sucks for us, but it's a price you have to accept for having players of that quality. Personally I'd like to see clubs insist they players sign an agreement to opt out of international football when they sign. Realistic? Not sure, but it would stop these issues.

Players getting injured playing football happens- I don't take issue with that (see Can) but I do take issue when you are told, your one size fits all methodology...doesn't actually fit all, leading the player to get injured again in training. EVERYONE here would take issue if it were one of your own players whose advice were ignored and they come back crocked...again.

The point is why did they refuse to listen when the player spoke out?! We have a routine that hasn't seen Sturridge injured during training at lfc yet several trips for the national team see the player miss out. At least twice it was due to their imposed training methods and not on the pitch (which I could understand). Fucking idiots. If BR starts doing a whiskey nose, and simply pulling his players out, just watch the knives get sharpened.
Didn't Moyes get a whole load of criticism for a similar prehistoric approach to players@united?
