Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has outlined his vision for the club to the players and staff for the first time.

Rodgers was revealed as the new Liverpool manager over a month ago, but ony met the majority of his players at the club's first pre-season training session yesterday.

The former Swansea City boss was keen to let his players and staff know his plans for the club from day one, and is satisfied that he was able to do this.

"The last couple of days were really about painting the vision so that people understand what direction we're moving in," Rodgers told the club's official website.

"We had a really good meeting with the staff on Tuesday. I just felt it was important from the very first day with the staff they understand how I work, my values and morals on and off the field.

"Then obviously for the players it's about what I can do to help them achieve what it is they want to achieve, and let them understand the principles of how I'm going to work and look at the direction which the club is moving in. They understand where I'm coming from, from day one, which is important."

Rodgers took the reins at Anfield in June following the departure of club legend Kenny Dalglish.
