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.

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.
