A fall of grace.
How have we become an adverage mid-table team?
I hate seeing us like this.
We need big changes. New manager, coaches etc etc.
I said at the start of the season Hodgson's unfortunately not the right man.
I do like N'zogbia and A Carroll and I believe they are at least two players we should go for

You don't like seeing us a mid table team? So why do you want to sign mid table players in Carrol and N'zogbia? Set your standards a little higher. Id rather have Llorente and Mata or Navas!

Carroll would be an ideal partner for Torres because he's awlward, fearless, wins headers, can set up and score and is a hardworking never give up player. Defenders are scared of him and he's young and English.
N'Zogbia can destroy teams.

Why is it roy hodgson gets it week in week out whether we play well or not? he might not be a high profile manager but look at the facts. torres had a face like a smacked arse under rafa and i think he wants out! pepe is torn because he hardly smiles any more? why? tonight was hard to watch but was it roys fault? kuyt, nando, maxi and skirtel were awful and the others weren't much better! we cannot compete with aerial football as at stoke & tonight so whilst at fulham roy had a 6` 5 center half he now has 2 players with no pace or presence playing in central defence! is that his fault? whichever manager replaces roy as you witch hunters require they will need quite a few new players, something roy hasn't had the opportunity to do.

- this is to you roy ant had time but he don't pick the right team or the right tactics andhis face was as red as my liverpool top beacuse he no's he messed up he is a good manager but not for liverpool we neeed some one who has some fire in there belly and some one who can get them playing to a top 4 standed thanks hope you don't mind ed

{ed's note - so you said blame the players, but not the man who picks the players knowing they are not good enough.}

Alright Ed, I said Roy wasn't entirely to blame, I didn't mean he was blameless. In my opinion Kuyt and Maxi offer us nothing as wide men because they are never out wide. They are being picked due to the fact that they are seasoned internationals not due to their merits on the pitch. Every one says that Kuyt has to be picked due to his work. That for me should be expected of a player, not listed as an attribute. I would pick anyone of Ecclestone, Babel, Jova, Cole, Suso, Pacheco or Johnson ahead of Kuyt and Maxi on the wings. Granted most of the players I've listed haven't really done much when they have had their chance but they all have qualities that can win you a game in an instant (Pace, strength, trickery, etc) a good work ethic alone will not get us back to the top of the table.

As you have said many times, Roy is on borrowed time until a suitable replacement can be found. But we also have to be brutally honest and admit we were in demise before Roy took control, and that the squad he inherited isn't good enough to go and win 4, 5, 6, 7 games on the bounce. To be honest I feel sorry for him a bit. He left a job where he was safe and idolised to join us, knowing that he would most probably be out on his ear in a few months. So it shows he does have the passion for the club just not the know how. So again, while he's not the right man for Liverpool I don't feel he's entirely to blame

{ed's note - I did think it seemed a strange one, but you just learn to accept strange things doing these sites! If everyone is fit I would play 4-3-3, we don't have any width anyway, so I would give the central players more freedom to roam instead of playing strikers as wingers. Reina in goal, Johnson, Kelly (Ayala if he was back and Kelly at right back), Agger, Aurelio (Mavinga as back up, Konchesky is not good enough for the reserves), Gerrard, Lucas and Meireles in midfield, Pacheco, Torres and Ngog up front. Pacheco would just be given a free role for me. What about you?} sounds good. i agree 4-3-3 is better as playing 4-4-2 requires width and that is something we don't have. why try and force something if you know it's not going to happen. you don't try and start your car if you know it's got no petrol. (crazy analogy i know; it's been a long day lol)
I'd play exactly the same tbh. we defo need 2 or more strikers, especially with the form torres is in. id most defintely have suso on the bench along with shelvey and amoo. what'd u think? {ed's note - Suso would be my first choice for the bench, it is time he started to get a feel for the first team.}

Roy, please just go now. When then camera is on you and you're scrathing your head as if you're deciding what to do to next when there's no chance of us getting anything from a match, you just look like an idiot.

You're 'win at home, but don't lose away' methodology is a joke and dare I say it but the only change you should have made from the Villa game is anybody (and I mean anybody) for Kuyt down the right. Babel deserved to retain his place.

FFS it was Pardew! Pardew! And you set the team out to be wary of Duncan Ferguson's b* tard child.

If we put money into your hands come January, then I fear we may do a Leeds.

You are a joke.

Ed, you said Roy will only go if the rot sets in. This is it. Oh, I and still think we will win against Fulham at home next week.

What grates me is the fact that us fans would kill and die to play for Liverpool, yet a lot of out players are there to pick up their pay packet! People sit on the Kop and dream of scoring in that hallowed net and it seems some players don't even care. What should be brought in is a performance related play to make sure they give 100%, if we don't turn up for work we don't get paid, our families suffer, we suffer. A lot of our players didn't turn up today but that's £100,000 for them and they will all sleep well tonight while we struggle to sleap with heartache. Scrap goal bonuses, it makes people gready, the only bonus should be a clean sheat bonus for the whole squad and the bonus should be a pat on the back, not money! These players today don't even deserve minimum wage!

Tevez has formally requested a transfer in writing citing irreconcilable differences between him and Mancini.

Sell who ever we have to, borrow what ever we must but for Christ's sake buy him. Him up front with Tevez in a 4-4-2 would be frightening.

So we as Liverpool supporters got together and helped force T & G out of our club. . well I think its time now that we do the same for Hodgson. I have never been more embarrassed as a Liverpool supporter as I have been this year. I can't get involved in any footy banter with mates as they just laugh at me. and to be honest they are right. Roy has no idea on how to motivae our team and if you look closely you can see tactically he has no idea. Not sure about any one else but isn't having Torres in the team a hinderance to us as we are only playing with 10 players. He is just so not interested. .
Oh well

I missed the 'f' off off and it completely changed the question. I meant what would your starting team be lolol {ed's note - I did think it seemed a strange one, but you just learn to accept strange things doing these sites!

Our defence is shocking. And it's a shadow of the defensive units we have seen at Liverpool in recent years. There's no togetherness, there's no understanding between the defenders and there's no chemistry at all. Konchesky is awful to say the least, Johnson just simply cannot defend, Kygriakos is a Rangers reject and although he's been ok at times he's not good enough, Skrtel had a good 6months or so when he first joined but his form and consistency have deteriorated - although I think when on form he's good.

People have dismissed the need for a centre-back in the January window, but given the form of the two current CBs, added to Carragher's injury (age) and Agger's injury problems I think we may need to get one.

We've been linked with a few CBs like Adil Rami but I don't know much about him. Maybe a move for Sakho would be worthwhile. I rate him highly, and he's only 20 and is better than all of our current defenders.

And it's high time we put Kelly into his natural position and gave him a shot at the heart of the defence. Kygriakos won't be here beyond the Summer so he's clearly not got a long-term future here, whereas Kelly does.

Hi ed but so was kygriakos i ant liked him since he come to liverpool and skretl would be better with agger and why put n drog why not bable would have been better and my grandad worked at liverpool for 10 years and he said it is bad times and roy must go and kenny should take his place and that uccf or whatevery your name why sell torres you mad all he needs is some one who can put him on goal and can put some magic in our game so where you get off to sell you can't be a liverpool fan ed what you think {ed's note - I don't rate or like Kyrgiakos, but at least he has bottle, Skrtel has been a coward ever since his clash of heads. That has to be a major worry, I mean defenders are always going to get bangs on the head.}

Lfc need 3 players desperately:

CM- either Alonso(unlikly) / Banega

WINGER A. Johnson / Mata

ST- Aguero / suarez

This will give us plenty of control with benaga/ alonso holdin mid and johnson/ mata on the wing getting balls into the box for torres etc. and aguero/ suarez to assist torres in reducing the goal burden. then lfc will be back in top 4.

then in summer get new boss and think about adding to the squad even more.

Liverpool Rumours
Just to state the bleedin' obvious (at least to the majority of fans) we need to undergo a major overhaul between now and the start of 2011/ 12.
Personnel, playing-style, mentality/ attitudes all need to change.
Sammy Lee and Roy Hodgson are clearly nowhere near the required standard. . .that's a given.
My personal preferences for the manager's role would be ;
a) Roy Evans on a temporary basis from Jan, or
b) Roberto de Mattio or Owen Coyle on a permanent basis.
I would also look to getting the "Boot Room" mentality back with coaching jobs for Robbie Fowler, Jan Molby, Ian Rush or John Aldridge and a seat waiting in the corner for Carragher.
On the playing side I would be looking at promoting Kelly to 1st choice CB alongside Shawcross or a big signing with leadership experience to replace the (sadly) over-the hill Carragher. Start grooming Ayala and Wilson by giving them starts in the lesser games but, for God's sake get rid of Skirtel! ! Kyrgiakos should be kept as a bench-warmer (mainly for his ariel ability) and Aurelio and Konchesky should be shown the door forthwith. Our defence is woefully poor at both defending and distribution. Right Said Fred at the back (Skirtel and Konchesky. . tee hee) are both uncultured hoofers who are clearly at the wrong level. Carragher's enthusiasm is no longer matched by his pace (or lack of it) and he is becoming a liability positionally.
Christian Poulsen has had a rough time of it but should never have been bought. He has had to fill Mascherano's boots and, given that he wasn't even cutting it at Juventus, stood no chance. Waste of money. Full stop.
Glen Johnson is game after game demonstrating to anyone with half a brain that he is a wide-midfielder and absolutely not a defender. This was universally acknowledged before his arrival. We paid £18m for a player who was being touted around for peanuts 12 months or so earlier and then persisted at playing him out of position. We should keep him as a wide RM and save ourselves some dosh but invest in a proven experienced RB.
Lucas Leiva has been my least favourite LFC player for a while but has confounded his critics this season. I still have a few reservations but would utilise him as a decent squad-player. His distribution has improved immensely and he isn't as prone to giving away needless free-kicks.
Raul Meireles is clearly a very good addition and the only decent signing by RH. Joe Cole has been a complete flop so far and when you analyse his recent career you have to question whether it's worth hanging on to him. Maybe use him as an "impact-player" from the bench but that's all.
Maxi Rodriguez, Ryan Babel, Dirk Kuuyt, David N'Gog, Jay Spearing and those already mentioned are not good enough. Jovanovic, Agger and Torres all appear to be looking towards the exit-door so why not cash in on this overpaid bunch of wasters and have a "re-birth" of the Club. New management, new coaches, new senior playing staff.
Bring in the likes of Honda, A.Johson, A.Carroll, Pienaar, Shawcross, Connor Wickham and maybe we'll soon attract the "marquee-signings" we are always being hopelessly linked with on this site.
But for goodness sake. . .please get rid of Grandpa Roy and his sidekick Babe! !

Whilst I've always liked Roy Hodgson and would never advocate his sacking, there was a point in todays game that really had me questioning his ability to grasp the situation(s) within the game.

Just prior to Nile Ranger coming on for Newcastle, (64th minute) with the game was evenly poised, I thought this is the point at which Roy will (should) earn his money, be brave I said, bring on Cole for Ngog and Babel for Kuyt, go for it, Newcastle can be taken . . but alas nothing, Ranger comes on and Newcastle gain all ascendancy, blah, blah, same old story . . we lose away again!

With another away loss under our belts, I went to check Roy's total away record as a manager in the Premier League . . even worse then first thought.

Played - 92 (Blackburn, Fulham, Liverpool)
Won - 13
Drawn - 32
Lost - 47

Not encouraging reading is it?

Ed,
Do you know why Liverpool are scountin gmost of the Porto games this season?
Is it because we are looking at possible transfer targets, such as Falcao or Hulk?
Or is it more likely that we are interested in the manager, Boas?
Does Boas speak English do we know? {ed's note - I don't know for sure, it is all conjecture so it could very well be Boas, who speaks excellent English apparently.}
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Man I'd love to see Boas brought in. I live in a town with a ton of Portuguese immigrants so I've watched Porto play. They play a great style of football. In a perfect world Boas would get a couple more years experience in Portugal but sometimes you got to get a guy when you can.

And in a perfect world he can bring Hulk with him who is the perfect player on the right in Boas 4-3-3. He dominates games from that position. With Torres playing in the center and Hulk on the right, that would be a scary proposition for oppossing teams.

Ed, you're quite passionate when you say you want no scumbags at the club ie players like Barton and Carroll. What do you make of our captain fantastic then? He's hardly got a clean record has he. What about him blatantly elbowing Michael Brown in the head against Pompy last season? I don't know about you but it was only a couple of years ago he was facing charges of assault and we all know he was guilty.

Don't get me wrong, I love him to bits, but if you don't like the likes of Barton and Carroll, surely you must feel the same way about Stevie? {ed's note - I don't like Stevie as a person, never liked him even as a kid I found him arrogant.}

Whilst RH is clearly not the man to lead us back to the promised land. He can not be entirely blamed for tonights shambles. Lets face it at least half that team just simply isn't good enough. Kuyt, Maxi, Konchesky, Soto, Skrtel to name a few. Whilst we have gone backwards as a team (since Xabi left) most other EPL sides have progressed and spent alot of money.
We played 442 today, which isn't negative, and in patches played some tidy stuff (with Meireles again being the stand out player). It was the players who lost us the game today not Roy.
My criticism of Roy today would be that Kuyt came back out for the 2nd half. You can't keep picking players on reputation, he needs to have the balls to drop the so called big name players if they are doing the business. Sadly it would appear that Torres is in that category as well.
Two wingers desperately needed in January, more so than a striker in my opinion

I thought we played well in the first half - we had most of the ball, asked a lot of questions of their back four and got into some good positions.


1- If that's playing well going a goal down, Id hate to see your team play poorly

2- We asked one question of there back four and that question was, Can we have a go of the ball please.

3- The best position was just before the first whistle, After that things started to go down hill.

Is it just me or is it a coincidence that every time we lose, people seem to know who is replacing us. Strange that these stories are coming out just hours after defeat. The same happened after Villa game, all of a sudden everyones saying Babel should start every game, but as soon as he goes missing we should sell him. . so so predictable.

RUMOUR. LFC to play attacking football

Was at the game tonight and it was to say the least trash. .

Out of the 11 on the field i would only stick with Lucus(Never thought I would ever say that), meireles, ngog and pep. The rest I would get rid of and start again. Nando is not up for it so best get the money for him.
I would suggest starting to blood the youth for the rest of the season ready for next year as we are not going to do much this season with what we have.

Kelly should get a start at right back, Willson should be at the back and Pacheco should be behind Ngog as the kid can hold on to the ball and link up well with Pacheco.

What you think ed? {ed's note - something needs to change that is for sure. Those that aren't performing shouldn't keep being picked week in week out.}

I can't believe people are questioning the attitude of Fernando Torres. His reaction to Kuyt's goal alone would suggest that he's still passionate about the club and wants to win games.

The only problem that's there at the moment is that he can't get a good run of form. .because the team can't get a good run of games! He had a shocking second half of last season followed quickly by a woeful World Cup, which was then followed by Liverpool being dragged into a mess. .which was further followed by good LFC players leaving! His confidence is shot and playing the way Roy plays won't allow him to get it back.

It would be a stupid decision to sell Torres. Get a good manager and we'll see Torres being happier at LFC.

The one worry, his family. He has two kids now, he might decide that he'll bring up his kids in Spain.

Bob the Red {ed's note - you have to stick with the kids, only an idiot gives up on a youngster after 2 or 3 games. Ian Rush was abysmal for a season and a half, by his own admission, Carragher was awful for years. To be a top manager you should be able to judge those who just need someone to stand by them and those who are never going to make it. Rafa clearly wasn't that because he got rid of Hobbs, who was excellent for Leicester and decided Ayala wasn't good enough when he was getting better game by game. The only reason to drop a kid with potential is because they have had a decent run in the team and had time to adjust and been found wanting or just need to be dropped back down to give them a kick up the butt. You certainly don't drop them for a journeyman centre half who was found completely wanting in the Scottish leagues! If he had brought in a Simon Kjaer or Lucio or another top class player fine, but not for a player who would get outpaced by Stephen Hawkings.}

And all along, money keeps dripping out of a football club that isn't awash with it! Poulsen, The Greek, Konchesky. . The list goes on. Players that just didn't have to be brought, money that could have got us a player or 2 that could make a difference. A winger for instance!

I think we should get used to this for the rest of the season as long as Mr.Hodgson employs these tactics.

We'll perform at home and win and be all happy and optomistic then we'll go away from home and just disappoint. Roy's away record speaks for itself in his whole bloody career.

I'm a patient person but I don't think I could face this crap for another five months.

I think Kenny should get the job until the end of the season. I wouldn't expect much, apart from him and the players to restore some dignity back into the club and the supporters. And Kenny knows what way this team should be playing football.

Unfortunatly I can't see it happen. John Henry needs to look at the state of the fans, we are miserable most weeks, we are unhappy. The majority of the support want Hodgson removed. We were happy and excited after the takeover, and full of optomism, but I want to be going into next season optomistic not bloody hopeful. And we don't want to start next season having lost the likes of Torres.

Ed, you said that it is your belief that Hodgson will leave at the end of the season, but do you think with frustrated fans and a poor position in the table Henry will still wait until the end? Henry said he wants to listen to the fans, maybe he should listen now. {ed's note - if results are bad then changes will happen I am sure.}

Another thing. I hate fans saying that we should rid of Kuyt! Forget his goal, he ran all over the pitch defending and forcing forward motion! Any team, whether it be Barca or Madrid or Inter, would love to have Dirk Kuyt. Eventhough he doesn't score often as I expected when he arrived from Holland, he plays with complete heart and is an energizer bunny all over the pitch! If Roy had sense he would inject Joe Cole on the left with Glen Johnson on the right and Kuyt up front with Torres! Leave Stevie G, Meireles and Lucas to BOSS the midfield!

By the way Ed, what do you think of Thommo and Evans helping out King Kenny with the Manager duties if Hogson is sacked. .oooops, I mean WHEN he is sacked!

"Roy Hodgson is going nowhere till the end of the season. I can assure you this.

A member of LFC coaching staff {ed's note - what a load of rubbish, you would know Roy picked the team and the tactics which failed so spectacularly, again.}"


Sorry, mate, but Roy is almost guaranteed to be sacked this season. If we continue our away form we will almost certainly be rubbing shoulders with Wigan and West Ham at the end of the season. We have 10 home games left and 9 away, assuming we win all our home games (which we will almost certainly not) and draw a couple of away games we'd clock up around 50-60 points, that total doesn't even guarantee top flight football next season (I think the most amount of points a relegated team has earned is 53, or thereabouts) never mind challenge for 4th.
At the rate we're going, it looks very, very bleak. You'll probably come back with some claim Hodgson will change his away tactics in the new year - if 35 years of managing clubs that should be mid-table, but are relegation-fodder when Roy manages them, is not going to wake the fool up , then dragging one of Europe's premier clubs into obscurity won't scratch the surface.

I think it's time to take out the big guns, good chaps. Let us begin to sing anti-Roy chants or face relegation.

what ye think ed?rant over.

kopkd {ed's note - I just don't understand how he can't see the problems as they arise on the pitch. What kind of experienced manager can't use his experience to see when the match is going away from you and making changes to get the upper hand again. Why has he not learnt how to use his subs to change a game?}

A loss again and these rumors of RH sacking. Is he to blame or the players who had no heart to play? Instead of sacking RH, bench Torres for lack of concentration on the pitch now in 2 away games which have cost us dearly. Skrtel should be sold to some club asap. He is so hesitant to defend when JC is not around it seems JC is like his daddy keeping him from the bullies. RH is not bad, he has done a decent job, it is somehow we are just bad on the away form. Torres needs to take blame, I have heard some guys raisde their hands in the media for their mistakes but never read Torres doing the same. It is time, he is made to earn his starting place. Torres is scared of getting injured these days. He is great on the training ground but scared to carry the challenge to the defender in case of an injury. I think he will b moving abroad in the summer. DO NOT EVER BELIEVE HE WILL GO TO ANY OTHER CLUB IN EPL. HE IS A GENTLEMAN WHO HAS ANFIELD IN HIS HEART AND ABOVE ALL HE IS NOT A MERCENARY. IT IS A SHAME THE INJURY STRUCK LAST SEASON HAS KILLED HIS CONFIDENCE

Roy Hodgson is going nowhere till the end of the season. I can assure you this.

A member of LFC coaching staff - RUBBISH

Roy picks the team he should tell the players what to do.He should sell the players who wouldn't make it in the Scottish Highland league, but he is clueless.He doesn't know who is good and who isnt.Torres needs to play to build up his confidence.Stick him on the bench and he will definetely want to leave.John W.Henry is known for sacking managers like this.Expect it soon.

Poor away form has cost.He nevers has the right tactics.He couldn't tell football from rugby."Hoof the ball down the line there, that could work".

I would be more than pleased to pass your advice to RH over a cup of coffee on Monday probably laughing it off. {ed's note - their wingers? Obviously you know that both of them are not true wingers as both look to cut inside, meaning you have no need to drop deep to contain them. Neither are going to run in behind at pace so you are talking complete and utter rubbish.}

But its time people stopped blaming the manager alone. I think both players and the manager should take responsibility for this defeat. The players didn't do their part at all.

Lack of passion, lack of anything really.

And January can't come quick enough. The lack of width in our team is abismal.

I'm kinda disillusioned after this match. This "Yo-Yo" season is upseting us all. yeah? Well I watch teams beat us with more guile going forward and our strikers in particular the ever soft Torres is starting to show his emotions within the game and most likely the club! I watched Dirk Kuyt run all over the field covering 2 sometimes three men throughout the ENTIRE GAME!. I ask why can't Torres do the same?? Our team lacks width and creativity and when Gerrard comes back next week, I truly think we should deploy him as a winger! Roy rubs his face like a lame duck because to be quite honest, himself and his staff are clueless! Ranger is subbed in and runs amuck all over the LFC backline and he doesn't counteract with a sub (to slow the game back down and to question the opposing gaffers tactics) until 10 mins later! REALLY ROY! !? ?. I thought at the beginning of the match that Babel should have started and bring on Torres by the 60th min mark along with giving Cole a run in the team (wasn't Joe brought in for creativity Roy? ?). Why not start Kelly as RB and move Glen Johnson to the wing? ?. .I really don't understand Roy as his tactics are predictable and doesn't counter with anything. LFC stays in "some" games because of the shirt they wear and the pride they have for the club, not because of Roy's tactics! It's getting sad when some teams have players like Carroll, K.Jones, P.Crouch, S.Fletcher, Drogba, Berbatov and we're left with a disheartened Torres and a young N'gog trying his best but needing more support!

This is my rant, but to be honest, we need to sell big and rebuild quickly. ManUtd (who I dispise) have always been able to bounce back from having big players leave or on injury (Ronaldo and Rooney/ Ferdinand etc). . We don't have depth period and we lack players who play like the Barnes and Berger of old, such as a very interesting player not playing often. . Adam Johnson! We need forward movement and "pretty" players like Lucas, Maxi, at times Meireles don't quite cut it at times on the pitch. .Hey LFC midfield, put on an hour video of Steven Gerrard and see what forward movement is! We are not a sit back and pass the ball club and never have been! Ask Shanks! We move Forward and bully other teams, something we are not doing!
Anyhow, enough of my rant, but Roy must go! and he must go now!

a) look really angry . . . like someone who has just been pipped to the cashpoint,

b) rub his face furiously like a demented a cat from a whiskers ad.

c) change nothing on the pitch.

At 50 minutes, we controlled that game. One subsititute changed that game and we could not counter that.

all long ball,

We should exploit the guile, creativity and pace of Torres, not leave him out their to collect long balls from the defence. . .

Ed, i'm going to ask you a question, which i don't normally do.

I was at Reading several years ago when we lost 3-1 and in that game Jack Hobbs made his debut and was utterly, utterly out of his depth. He never played again, farmed out on loan never to come back.

Roll on to the beginning of last season and i was at the Villa home game when Ayala played. He was also given the run around that night and looked woeful, and the signing of Kyriagos was made later that week.

Now either Rafa thought these two just aren't cut out for the job, wasn't prepared to wait for them to mature. I'm astonished that Ayala is still on our books because he was as good as gone in May.

The question is do you play a player like Ayala who is raw, young, inexperienced and will be given the run around first up (and getting the kind of results we got against the Villa last year)in the belief that they will get better sooner rather than later or do you try and buy experience and get short term solutions in regards to results?

Clearly though we got it wrong in both departments. Kelly seems to be getting tied up as a right back when he is anything but, Ayala doing ok/ well, but not great in the championship and cheap signings like Kyriagos and Konchesky do not work in any event.

You can't answer with if you don't play them, as that's too damn easy!

Bob the Red {ed's note - you have to stick with the kids, only an idiot gives up on a youngster after 2 or 3 games. Ian Rush was abysmal for a season and a half, by his own admission, Carragher was awful for years. To be a top manager you should be able to judge those who just need someone to stand by them and those who are never going to make it. Rafa clearly wasn't that because he got rid of Hobbs, who was excellent for Leicester and decided Ayala wasn't good enough when he was getting better game by game. The only reason to drop a kid with potential is because they have had a decent run in the team and had time to adjust and been found wanting or just need to be dropped back down to give them a kick up the butt. You certainly don't drop them for a journeyman centre half who was found completely wanting in the Scottish leagues! If he had brought in a Simon Kjaer or Lucio or another top class player fine, but not for a player who would get outpaced by Stephen Hawkings.}

Konchesky, Skyrtl, Glen Johnson (offensively good but defensively very poor), Poulson, Kyrgiakos, and the rubbish on loan, Degan and El Zhar. . I'm sick lookin at these average players week in week out, if we're gonna be successful i'm afraid we've got a long long way to go. . This is just so frustrating, if we're not gonna get anyone in January then i can't even see us getting into the Europa League!

{ed's note - you mean if I had that team that started rather than the overall fact that I would never have picked those players because Kelly would have played if I had picked them. If so I would have them pressing the ball further up the pitch and tried to cut the service off to Carroll or make them hit the ball to him from deeper, so that he then receives it in less dangerous positions. Secondly, it was clear that a change was needed, things were going flat after we equalised, it was time to bring on a substitute, bring Kelly on and push Johnson wide right instead of Kuyt. Konchesky needs to be dropped, left back in the changing rooms with Aurelio playing there.}

sounds good. what did you make of ngog's and miereles' performance? {ed's note - they were probably our best players, yet the best that can be said is that they were ineffective. At least they both looked like they cared and seemed like they were really trying.}

Still don't get what people see in him, because I just don't really see much at all except someone who gets lost in games, gives the ball away and backs out of challenges!
Mind you that could be most of them at the moment

DCG {ed's note - no my reply was that of a man who can't be bothered to argue the point with someone who clearly knows nothing. Ayala played better and better last season until Rafa, in his infinite wisdom, rushed out and bought Kyrgiakos because he didn't trust youngsters. This season he has gone out on loan to Hull and starred in match after match and played very well. Yet you have decided he is not good enough and was utter rubbish because of what reason? Is it because he is not a hoofer like Skrtel? Other than Agger, he is the best centre back on our books and should have been playing this season for us, not wasted on loan.}Ayala played only a few matches and looked good even if he was a bit green. He never had a shocker like the guys at the bcak today. And as far as Carroll goes. His first touch is not very good. This is his first season at the top and I predict he'll never be as prolific again. And, mistaking Hull with another team is not that bad. If someone mistook Liverpool for Hartlepool I would not mention it.

Can all of you stop being to harsh on Roy, We need to give him time. But a do agree we do need to buy in Jan. A CF, with cassano looking the most likely to come. We need 2 pacey wingers like Jarvis and Nzogbia. And a CB in Shawcross. And with the prem tight this year, and if we improve our away form, we could be up there. Let jovanovic go.

QUOTE "10 Dec 2010 21:09:35
On the eve of tomorrow's match, i want all LFC fans to remember these words when watching the match tomorrow. . . Anyway, just judge the performance and the result and see how far away we truly are."UNQUOTE

Ok guys, yous lot are starting to get on my nerves with your knee jerk reactions. I posted the above last night because i was fairly confident that either the result and/ or the performance would be what it was.

Now, surely you lot are a little bit more switched on than you appear to be? Surely? Stop with the 'top 4' predictions every time we win at home and stop with the 'we're crap, we're a disgrace' every away game.

Until we get a few class additions and weed out players of the ilk of Konchesky, Kyriagos, Maxi then we will get what we are currently getting. So don't expect anything else.

We haven't got a formula to play away from home, we haven't got the tactical nous to be able to control games away from home and we have players that will let us down on a regular basis.

So why do we seem to be unable to realise we will not get anything away from home at this present moment in time?

Perhaps a little more perspective is needed. And stop saying Roy out, it aint going to happen until the summer, so just bloody get on with it, saying it aint going to make it happen.

Seriously guys how do you really expect to win with defenders like Kyriagos and Skrtel who's football ability is shocking and their defending skills questionable. And don't get me started with Konchesky.

Carroll rose to the occasion in typical style akin to a player who can only perform against the 'big' teams at home. He has the ability to ruffle any defender in the air. However if you simply cannot defend the long punt and the flick on then i'm sorry but you shouldn't be in the game. Players like Carroll will always be dangerous at set pieces but that is where it should end, in open play he should be easy to deal with.

We proved at Spurs we cannot defend simple hoofed up balls, we cannot defend the flick on and we certainly cannot defend the runners. One of many very clear reasons why we cannot win away from home.

So before our next away game, please show a little bit more nous.

Bloody frustrating that the crap of Newcastle, Wigan, Sunderland, Stoke, Blackpool can all come and make us look ordinary, which is what we are.

NEVER should have sacked Rafa.

One is that his players love him, they all want to play for him, Billy Sharp for instance had the chance to be paid twice as much elsewhere but enjoyed his loan spell there so much he took a pay cut to join Doncaster in the summer. Two is that Donnie are a tiny little club with hardly any money, I lived in Donnie when they were two divisions below and they are a nothing club. Yet year after year he keeps them challenging for the play offs and in with a chance of getting promotion to the Premier League and he did a great job with Bournemouth before Donnie as well. Thirdly is the style of football, they are often called the Barca or Arsenal of the Championship. He never plays for the draw, his only interest is winning every single game.}

{ed's note - I just wish he would do something to change things, why not make a sub?}

what would you have done differently today? {ed's note - you mean if I had that team that started rather than the overall fact that I would never have picked those players because Kelly would have played if I had picked them. If so I would have them pressing the ball further up the pitch and tried to cut the service off to Carroll or make them hit the ball to him from deeper, so that he then receives it in less dangerous positions. Secondly, it was clear that a change was needed, things were going flat after we equalised, it was time to bring on a substitute, bring Kelly on and push Johnson wide right instead of Kuyt. Konchesky needs to be dropped, left back in the changing rooms with Aurelio playing there.}

Just look at the 2 teams tonight. One has a squad full of champions league experience playing at the top level & the other has just got promoted. It should be a no contest, yet when you add our tactics into the mix it becomes a level playing field. Someone high up in Nesv should be asking how this continues to happen. It's embarrasing to say the least & something needs done, but although Roys tactics suck big style the players must take as much blame. Another false dawn.

2. The new manager syndrome. Anybody remember Harry (boiled beef and carrots ahh) Redknapps first game against us
3 The Mirrors very own unfunny funny man( right up there with Chris Moyles)Derek Mcgovern tips us as his bet of the day.By the way, he IS the f***ing kiss of death. When he tips us go out and make some money and do the opposite. If he is a Liverpool fan, you would have thought by now he would learn't to leave us alone. what a prick.Can somebody send the heavy mob round to have a quiet word.

For those who don't know who Jugen Klinsmann is, here is an interesting article from Wiki. .

"Franz Beckenbauer, previously a strident critic of Klinsmann's, declared his desire to see Klinsmann continue as coach. There was also widespread public support for Klinsmann due to his team's spirit and attacking style of play. The team's strong performance is thought by some to have renewed national pride and restored Germany's reputation as a top footballing nation. Due to his success coaching the national team, Klinsmann was awarded the Bundesverdienstkreuz. He was even referred to as "Kaiser", a term meaning "emperor" in German, usually reserved for German footballing greats, e.g. Franz Beckenbauer". {ed's note - then he took over at Bayern and was a complete and utter failure without Loew to do all the real work.}

ED I can only guess you'll be bombarded with posts about Roy needing to be sacked but as you have said there aren't any real viable candidates available at the present moment.

I totally agree with you when you say NESV need to go all out and get the right manager in. The names Rikarrd, Jol etc just aren't what the club need; I really think we should do everything to get Andre villas boas.

He learned from arguably one of the best managers in football today, only European manager not to be beaten in any competitions this year and he's young with new innovative ideas exactly what NESV want and need to bring in.

Before we go on and start talking about which players we should be bringing in we need to get the right manager in first. That's why we should bring in one maybe two signings in January nothing too extreme, keep Roy there until the summer then get Boas in.

What do you think?

Dryden22 {ed's note - I agree on waiting until the summer and bringing in the right man, Boas looks an excellent shout, but why not put a caretaker in place until then? Someone who will at least go out to win every game rather than looking to snatch a win away from home but happy with a draw.}

Ayala skrtel soto konchesky wilson agger, Not one of these players at the moment is good enough maybe in time to come if wilson bulks up he will be, i do believe kelly will be quality.Andy Carroll 11 goals 4 assists first season in epl you must be blind.

People look people are saying sack Roy hodgson because again Liverpool were s* te, then you have people saying well it's the players and Roy did not make Torres miss the chance to put Liverpool 2-1 up again very true. But Torres is not himself and Roy needs to be big enough and say to his big players you need to fight for your place end of! Roy is not the man to lead lfc and the players are not motivated and Roy does not have the balls to make big decisions, nesv need to act soon, and all this bulls* t about rijkard has off pitch issues is bull because at the end of the day it's what on the pitch counts. Nesv need to be brave and to do that they need to make big decisions. I thank purslow for what he did in getting rid of the cowboys but boy did he make a mistake with hodgson, we have been very poor this season and to think 2 seasons ago I was probably seeing the best football lfc have ever played in my lifetime and to see that again we need nesv to act now before it's too late

I personally don't want a change of manager til the summer. If we get a new man in now it means we've panicked and just got the first half decent manager who came available. I'd rather we wait and do the research (as I'm sure NESV are doing as we speak) and get the right man. I personally would like Owen Coyle now. Every team he's had has done well, played good football and his players always look like they're enjoying themselves. Plus there's no risk of him getting caught out by the premier league like Ramos at Spurs.

I took the time to digest the loss (sadly, I'm getting really good at this). When you look at it, the loss is meaningless. You win some games, you lose others; life goes on. Let's face it, none of us anticipated a title for Liverpool this year. However, the manner of the loss is what we should focus on. The team was dreadful against a team that was just as poor as Villa or West Ham which we both beat at home not too long ago. Now, I believe that Mr Henry will ask questions and the answers he will receive are going to indicate that:

1. the current group of players lacks talent, motivation, grit and imagination.
2. the current manager lacks imagination, guts, tactical awareness
3. the current position of the club in the table reflects its worth
4. the chances of dramatic improvement are non-existant
5. Yes, Kuyt was always this bad

Now, the good news is that no-one is fooled any longer by wins against teams that set up to get beaten from minute 1. If NESV plans to wait until the summer to spend it will turn out to have been a monumental mistake. Changes need to occur now. I was one of the first to say that Roy would be kept until the end of the season when everyone was predicting that the next loss would get him sacked. Now, I am predicting that Roy will not manage any other Liverpool player than the ones he has right now. Henry will make changes and Roy will NOT manage the new players.

Dear Mr. Henry & Mr. Werner

We understand that you're new in football which make you be so careful in case of changing manager and buying new players.

But we believe you have sense of emergency and able to analyze how things are running so far. Our club is in 9th right now and make no massive improvement until half season. Our club has good players and deserve to fight for big 4 place in this stage. Your team manager has to be responsible for this, he clearly has no capability to manage this big club and good players, he is not a good tactician and motivator. (You can start analyze his 35 years record and achievement for your consideration)

Please show us any sense of emergency by mutual terminating his contract very soon. We fans still patiently waiting your words 'we come to win'. You don't need to win the league this season, but you need to win big 4 place, and we believe you know what to do.

Regards.

and comolli is not gonna get as where we want to be.we don't need all this french talent, if all these players are so good why arent barca real milan after these players.i agree we need some young talent.
milan bought ibra 28years old and they proberly will win the league, barca villa 29years and they will win something.
big clubs do what is needed, and we are as BIG as them.GET SOME TALENT AND GET SOME CLASS IN JANUARI AND SUMMER.
EVERY WEEKEND WE ARE HOPING FOR SOMETHING WITH THESE PLAYERS.BUT ED YOU MUST AGREE THAT WE ARE JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH, AND IF THE BUDGET IS 35MIL LETS JUST SPEND IT ALL ON 2 WORLDCLASS DEFENDERS.AND IN SUMMER WE GET ANOTHER 2.NO MORE KNONCH AND POULSEN AND JOVA FOR FREE.MEIRELLES WAS A LOT OF MONEY BUT THE RESULT IS THERE FOR ALL OF US TO SEE.HE IS A GREAT PLAYER.
EVERY POUND NEEDS TO BE SPEND ON CLASS, AND THE YOUNG PLAYERS WILL ALL BENEFIT FROM THE HIGHER LEVEL AT THE TRAINING GROUND.WHAT IS MAVINGA GONNA LEARN FROM KONCH?

Lets look at it from hodgsons view.1st goal unlucky.we equalised.tried to score more but good defending.lets sit back get the draw say good result.ball over top poor marking 2-1down.bring on jovanovic play him out of position try n get a 2nd.ball to andy caroll no 1 tackles him wonder goal.lets not forget its the PLAYERS who go on the pitch.not roys fault are back four can't defend.they can do it in training but you can't blame him for their mistakes.you can't blame hodgson for lucas bottling it and not challenging caroll.cant blame him for torres touch being poor or other players inability.what you can blame him for is playing people out of position i.e kuyt maxi.no joe cole no jovanovic no babel.playing overated rubbish throughout.not changing it early enough.hes gota think for the fulham game who shall i drop.i feel sorry for stevie g thinking why do i have to do it all by myself over n over again.

Please Roy put johnson up the pitch as right wing with kelly as right back. Harry did it with bale on the left and they are simmilar players- defensively poor, quick, skilfull with a decent end product. Spend the money on a left winger instead of a right winger. We need pace and width to win away from home, just too narrow and easy to pick off.

Sorry ed you are having a laugh Ayala was a shambles when he played and if he was that good why is he on loan at leicester city and not in a top division, kelly would not cope yet at centre half, Im a season ticket holder and see a lot of reserve and youth games and am also a former centre half with a team in different country. Ayala skrtel soto konchesky wilson agger, Not one of these players at the moment is good enough maybe in time to come if wilson bulks up he will be, i do believe kelly will be quality.Andy Carroll 11 goals 4 assists first season in epl you must be blind.

Fazzy were you screaming for Roy's head when he put out the same team against Villa. .? If you have watched the game we were on top of Newcastle in the first half and was let down by our defending and the final third. It would have been a different story had Torres took his chance after Kuyt scored. . so let's put some perspective into it - the team was the same. We lacked creativity in the final third. That's what Hodgson and Comolli should address immediately

If we want the best for our club then we need to act now because Roy hodgson is not good enough. What is stopping nesv and Henry from getting rid of hodgson now? I am sure that if the offer us attractive it would appeal to any manager to come to one of the biggest clubs in the world. The games we have one have been against poor teams, the fact when we do win it's just covering the cracks in a team that just is not enjoying working under hodgson! If their is a god pls pls nesv get rid of hodgson now before it's too late ynwa

The back four was a total shambles tonight no organisation. the players are not good enough and neither is our manager and ed we do need defenders.
Kelly is only young and not good enough yet.Not one of our defenders would get into a top four team . Torres attitude is shocking. I seem to remember having an argument with you about carroll you said he was rubbish didn't know where to run-give me a break.He has Frightened every defender he has come up against this sason.Big clearout needed ncluding the ed that doesn't have a clue about football(we don't need defenders carroll is a donkey). {ed's note - Kelly is more than good enough, you clearly have not seen him play enough if you think otherwise. Ayala is twice the player Skrtel or Kyrgiakos can even dream of being but we farmed him out on loan and kept the dross. There is no need to buy defenders, just a need to play our best ones rather than our most experienced ones. As for Carroll, he is a big lump, I still stand by that, you can question my knowledge of football all you like, but you don't even know about players for your own team.}

Its obvious that Woy doesn't know what he is doing apart from when he strokes his face. We all discuss transfer rumours on who's coming in and going out, but seriously would you trust this man to spend our money on his judgement of a quality player, let alone manage a winning team shape and mentality. He thinks Lucas and Maxi are world beaters, no wander they brought in Damien Comolli to pull his hand out of Uncle Sams wallet. . .
Quality players need a quality manager and sorry but Woy has not got any quality in him ask Inter and Blackburn and Fulham, sorry forgot he did a great Job at Fulham and won nothing and finished nowhere.
Our scouting maybe done in championship or below soon, so lets get behind team and ignore Woy and maybe board will do us a favour soon. . .

Torres should have been no where near the pitch today. . Everyone knows how difficult and exhausting having a new born baby in the house. . Babel should have played from the start!

Tactics were abysmal! The Greek should have been marking Carrol! Best player in the air we have should always be up against the best in the air they have! Newcastle's full backs are slow! so where was the pace out wide? I can run faster than Kuyt and Maxi! Eccleston and Johnson would have been better options today with Kelly at RB. Why oh why does he keep playing Skrtle? the boy Danny Wilson is far better positionally, playing the ball from the back and he doesn't look like he will give a penalty away from EVERY set peace we defend!
Going forward it apears we have adopted Stoke's tactics. . . only the are better at them! Long ball up to the front! If we are going to play that way the Kuyt has to be the second striker and target man!
It comes to something when I truly believe that i am better tactically than a manager who has been in the game for 30+ years. The bottom line is Roy is not good enough and has to go before the window opens in January! If he stays there will be no hope at the end of the season and we will only go backwards as no top class player will want to be with in 50 miles of Anfield, and that includes Pepe, Stevie G and Torres. Its a case of get rid of Roy now or get lost in mid-table mediocrity!

The further you fall the harder it is to get back to where you think you belong. Liverpool are now looking over the edge of the cliff. With Woy in charge, by the end of the season we wll have fallen over that cliff. The amount of money required to regain our position in the upper echelons of the PL be far to much for what we can pay.
We can't compete with Man C or Chelsea or even Tottenham. It really is time to change the manager, even if it just gives us some kind of spark.
Newcastle are a second rate team. They have bummed their way to most wins this season, what does that make us. I'll tell you, a laughing stock, a f*$+king laughing stock. How can we get all these messages to JH. I think he needs to know the feeling of the fans.

None of their goals happen today if Carra's out there giving orders and putting his body on the line.
And aside from Mr. Lazy (Torres) the rest of the team played okay.
Time to cash in for him perhaps? We seem to have this discussion every single week, and it's only stopped when he scores one good goal and suddenly he's 'miraculous' again and has 're-discovered his form'.

- -

You obviously haven't watched the game. Here's my match ratings:
Reina - 6 couldnt have done a lot about the goals
Konchesky - 2 Appalling, absolutely appaling.
Soto - 2 I've seen cranes turn faster than this fella.
Skrtel - 2 Awful as usual.
Johnson - 2 All he did was give fouls away.
Maxi - 3 Terrible
Meireles - 4 I'm being a bit generous, but he looked like the only guy who genuinely tried. Albeit his passing was below standard.
Lucas - 4 Only seems to play well when the rest of the team does. Bad passing today.
Kuyt - 1 Didn't do anything besides score the goal.
Ngog - 3 A bit of a ghost player during the time he was on. Better than Torres, though.
Torres - 0 Just jaw-droppingly terrible. Wasnt interested, can't really blame him when most of the time the ball was in the other half being vollied back and forth between Konchesky and Lucas.

Thought we were improving
How wrong was I
Shouldn't be, but i am disgusted- - whole team was absolute s* *e
Sell the lot of them
Before the match they were speaking of how gerrard may struggle to get back in the team- - - I would rather play with a one man team than with the crap today
Once again disgusted- and don't know how people can state otherwise
The poor away form continues and unfortunately so does woy hodgsons reign at anfield

I don't buy into this hole hime and away thing. For god sake my missus could manage us at anfield. The stadium and fans always bring out the best. But when we go away there is no manager to motivate. We are playing better but still not good enough. Today was embrassing

I know its easy to criticise hodgson & i personally don't believe he's up to the job, but the senior/ most influential players need to look at themselves and take some of the blame. That performance tonight was pathetic - sorry to say it but Fernando give yourself a shake lad, stop whingeing for 90 mins and concentrate on putting a performance of quality in! Our season is going nowhere, what can we realistically hope to achieve? At min I don't think we can hope for anything more than a top half finish - certainly won't be winning any silverware

Hi Ed and fellow Reds.
After today's game, it really shows that Roy have lost the plot. Why was the subs been brought on with less than 20 minutes to play?Kuyt did score a 'lucky goal' but he's been awful throughout the match.Why wasn't Cole, Babel and Jova brought on earlier or even started?Dear Mr Henry, if you happen to read this, pls don't let the club and we fans down.Enough of all these cos we can't tolerate all these nonsense anymore.Do something before it's too late cos we believe in you.

we should be honest and the truth is that Andy Caroll was top notch today. . . absolutely fantastic. . . .he was the difference between a win and a loss. . . . .

but nonetheless it was a bad loss. . . . . .makes the month of January all more interesting. . . . .

he should put his hands down by is groin and check that he as a set of balls and change the fecking tactics

IT DOESN'T FECKING WORK ROY

they haven't worked in 35years that you have been in football wake the feck up

Babel plays well on monday then gets 10 minutes today no wonder his head is messed up, kuyt was awful again but he seems to be flavour of the month just like under rafa.is roy managing this team or sammy lee, they both should do the decent thing and walk away because it looks like the new owners havent got the balls to sack them.too many players are not performing, we need a stronger manager to kick some arses and to pick a team and tactics to actually try and win a game.if my maths is correct then it's better to win 3 and lose 3 than to draw 6.these players just don't seem to give a f* k about our club and if that really is the case then they can f* k off as well, that goes for fernando (sit on grass)torres as well! !

I watched us tonight for the first time in 3 months and I honestly thought that the game was there to be won. Newcastle are a poor side playing Stoke balls up to Carroll that should be bread and butter to our defence. The midfield is physically too weak with just Lucas and Meireles at the moment. The two up front was not ideal for this match for me. I thought Joe Cole was ideally suited to this match as well. I could be wrong about all of this but I felt that we lacked the desire to go and win the match. Maxi and a few more don't like the contact of this league and will never be good in a match where they are closed down in my opinion. If we play like this against any side like Stoke, Everton etc we will be hard pushed to get a point.

Sad to be saying this. I thought we had better players than this.

None of their goals happen today if Carra's out there giving orders and putting his body on the line.
And aside from Mr. Lazy (Torres) the rest of the team played okay.
Time to cash in for him perhaps? We seem to have this discussion every single week, and it's only stopped when he scores one good goal and suddenly he's 'miraculous' again and has 're-discovered his form'.


Mate, did you watch the game? Did you see Skrtl and Konchesky? They were horrible? The rest of the team was very average at best.

Didnt hodgson say torres has looked sharper than ever during the training this week and is raring to go ?
Now ed. I have two questions . Is hodgson yet
Again wrong in his assessment of a player. Or 2. Did he say that only to keep our hopes up before the game even though torres might have been really pathetic in trainin? Cos today he surely was pathetic. What is the point praising ngog for scoring against 3rd rate teams of europa league qualification matches and giving him a start when babel is way better?
And come on . Stop supporting roy you guys. Judge him by his away games and not the home wins against a depleted villa side or a trash west ham side? Teams which we should have beaten 7-0 if hodgson was really that good that he deserved time till the next season. Judge him by away games. Mind you. We are going to get knocked out in the 3rd round of fa cup at this rate. We will not even get 50 points if we can't get away wins. And come on. The newcastle side has a brand new manager . He can win his first game? But when hodgson loses so many in his first 10 you guys say give him time to get his ideas in ! {ed's note - I just think Roy said it in the hope of giving Torres a lift, hard to judge him when he only got one decent pass in the entire match though.}

I don't no who we shud bring in, but i don't care. roy just get out of our club! he continues to play the same poor performing players every week no matter how they play.

Reina - Had nothing to do apart from goals which is none of his fault

Johnson - Played reasonably well, brilliant going forward, and had little to do in defence

Skrtel - At fault for gaols 1 and 2, all over the place in defence especially in the air

Krygiakos - Partly at fault for goals 1 and 2, he was only played to stop carroll and he didnt

Konchesky - Woeful. At fault for goals 1 and 2 as he was supposed to be marking both scorers

Kuyt - Poor touches, poor passes, decent goal

Meireles - Played reasonably well in the middle

Lucas - Played well but just stood and watched carroll shoot which was pathetic

Maxi - out of position and made no impact, kept drifting inside.

Torres - Lost his class, lazy and made no impact

Ngog - worked hard rarelylost the ball and played well

no point doing one for jovanovic as he came on for 5mins (WTF)?!

If we do get rid of Johnson in January we'll really be in sh@t street. He was our only outlet today. As i've said before, with a proper winger infront of him he will become twice the player he is at present.
Meireles again did well, and Ngog is improving every game. Everyone else was poor, except Kuyt, Maxi and Skrtel who were absolutely dire!

Skrtel, Kuyt and Maxi should be left on Tyneside and not allowed anywhere near LFC again. Everytime, Bar none, that Johnson got the ball Kuyt was no where to be seen. The same with Maxi on the left. Skrtel is a joke.

We need Ayala back to partner Agger. A new LB (or youth given a chance). And we need a left and a right Winger.

Kuyts effort around the pitch is not enough to mask his ineptitude with the ball, he is getting worse every game. On the plus side Ngog is getting better every game.

A big clear out is required in January

Skrtel konchesky kyrgiakos all need to be kicked out ASAP. All three were struggling against that ranger lad, it was embarassing to watch. And why is nando missing sitters now a days, that should've been a goal, but knowing roy he'd have put 10 behind the ball if nando had scored and we would still had lost or drawn.

Roy brings on Jovanovic! !
Last Monday, I was told I was negative for pointing out Jovanovic had to play. Roy could have helped him regain some confidence against a poor Villa defence, but he kept him on the bench by making an idiotic substitution (Fabio for Maxi). Now, he brings him on to rescue the game! To the guy who called me a sad idiot: My point was that you don't manage from game to game. You don't improvise with your squad and you try to get the best out of every player every time. Oh, and by the way this is the last time you see Jovanovic in a Liverpool shirt. Someone calculate his wages and ask Roy how he explains the managing of the funds. If a player is rubbish, let him prove it on the pitch! Give him a chance to play himself out of the team. But, don't play him out of position (Agger, Jovanovic) and then let them rot on the bench because they were not good enough. Meanwhile, Konchesky who clearly should never have been brought on is picked every week. Oh, and Carroll just scored. And I am done criticising Roy, there's no point in beating a dead horse.

Get rid of Torres while he is still worth more than we paid for him, the guy seems to have no passion for Liverpool anymore, I would go as far as saying Lucas is currently playing better than him, its frustrating watching him, he falls down to easily, he has missed about 4 one on ones in the last two games, he would have scored 3 of them 2 seasons ago.

Our midfield is weak, on a par with a team like Fulham not a top four team, much like our manager, he has lost control and is clutching at straws.

A lot of us are thinking there won't b a lot of buying in Jan, but I think if nesv are to keep this team together they need to buy a world class player in Jan. If they don't I think there's a chance off all the top players leaving in the summer.

If Hodgson survives this then we are in really BIG, BIG trouble. Is there no-one in a position of authority you make a big decision. There comes a time when someone has to say enough is enough. If the team was losing matches but showing some guts it wouldn't be so bad. Johnson and Jovanovic are apparently leaving next month so why are they on the pitch? There is NOTHING in this team to be optimistic about. It is now, without doubt, time to say the season is over (we've got no chance against m.u) and give the youngsters their chance. I've just seen the THIRD goal go in and should be angry but how can I stay angry when I know that things are not going to change in a short time. Can you hear Mr Henry, can you hear Mr Werner, the rest of the Premier League is laughing at LIVERPOOL FOOTBALL CLUB. I have never known it before and I want it to stop as quickly as possible.

I want a manager who plays good football with players who pass and move. Carroll's main strength is his ability to get away with handing off anyone marking him.}

Lose to a Newcastle side that were there for the taking, but by being too negative, we let their belief rise and they didn't need inviting twice.

Please bring in a new manager NOW! !

How much longer do we have to wait? ?

Woy is not the answer. His away record is shocking and he has brought that here. A couple of improved performances can't paper over the cracks.

I've had enough. Are we now second rate team that can't win away, a mid table team without anything to play for, no star player's and thinking our season is beating Everton and the scum. Are we going to end up being Everton, once a great club living off our great history. Leads utd spring to mind, big clubs are big clubs but start sliding, and it's hard to stop.
We need to start again. New manager, we have new owners, we need a change of mind set. Youth has to be the start. Give up this year we are not doing anything. A question to J W Henry and co. what are your goals for the season? I think the answer will tell us where we are most likely to end up this year.

Red bl00ded!"

I posted earlier saying that if someone comes in with an offer £25M+ for Torres, we should take it. Just to clarify, I don't think we should go out looking to sell him, but based on form, his lack of passion, his injury problems and also the fact that he didn't once reassure the fans that he was staying during the summer, if an offer of £25M+ came along (depending on who the club is of course!) would you reject it out of hand? Also, you're saying to get behind "ALL" of the team? My you have a short memory. . just look back at you're previous posts!

On another point, Red Bl00ded, I seem to remember another post from you a little while back. .

2-1.

This game has been perfect to show how foolish Roy fans are. I was close to physical watching that boring, defensive, pessimistic smut Roy calls football.
Thumped by Stoke, retreated into our shell at Tottenham and beaten by a Newcastle under turmoil and being lead by Pardew.

Did you foresee this two years ago when we were top of the table and laughing our a* 's off a Man U and Abramovich's Army.

"Give Roy a year", you say; I'm sorry, but by May and certainly by January no decent player will want to touch us with a bargepole and Torres will definitely be off to play under a manager with a clue.

Rant over, just wanted to let off some steam.

One good season at fulham is all he had. now with the team we need a cb or 2 after watching this defence not good enough, kuyt on the wing not good enough, maxi not good enough we need proper wingers that can cross a ball and go past players. Lucas we need an alonso type of player good passer and good vision. Then finally another striker ngog is ok for backup but that's all.

Still not looking good at the back need to a class centre back miss someone like Sami Hyypia
, The Greek looks better than Carragher(sorry to say that) as for Roy not rating Agger his still our best centre back when fit and left back

Fullback are weak would like to see G johnson given a go on the right as Dirk has been very poor last few games

Maxi has been getting better but like dirk , j cole and Pacheco all better in the hole !

Lucas is playing alot better but still not great really need a class holding midfielder to play along side Meireles who is getting better and better in cm

with some good transfer we can get back in the top 6 maybe if really lucky get 4th

jan need

Holding midfielder!
1 or 2 wingers
1 forward ?

would be happy with Swarez use babbel in the deal he can play wide to

Honda looks good and a good chance for around 10m , maybe A sanchez or Hazard both a long shot

Annan , mvila , Banega , defour not sure who we can get to play in centre mid with Meireles? but need someone! !

yeah of course he should but if the greek is playing he should be marking there strongest at heading hes stronger then skrtel carroll jumping forward to skrtel going backwards with the greeks strength might have dealt with him.

Unbelievably Roberto Mancini chose to play Jo on the right wing instead of Johnson , however Man City have won the game and Johnson has scored the third goal , he must be wanting more opportunity , it would be great if LFC could give that to him .

I think we should try sign Downing as we don't have a real left mid in are team

Rodregiez is a right mid

kuyt is a right mid and stiker

Cole is a CAM

Bable is a stiker

Jovanvic is a striker

"All these Buggers who are Planning to Sack Roy in their Dreams are a Joke! have you ever seen Liverpool playing fast and pacey footballl ever under Rafa benitez ?. . have u ever seen so many Youngsters getting more first team opportunities under Rafa? Roy certainly knows how to Utilize his resources! uNlike Rafa. .who used to moan always and reduce player's morality in Locker room! I don't need to explain more. .though we stand 10th or 11th but i've never seen my team playing with such confidence against Spurs before! As Roy Said "Rome wasnt built in one day"! so lets stop complaining and get behind our Liverpool manager!"

Are you for real . you are obviously taking the biscuit or far too young if you've never seen a confident liverpool team play against spurs or anyone else for that matter .
If you think we are playing fast pacey football , then can I ask you what drink or pills are you taking so i can take them and see the same liverpool you seeing, it will be less painful .
and about youth, how many of the youth have Roy used compared to Rafa, Roy followed the exact philosophy , use the young one in the early stages of Europe just like Rafa , and then tried them when there is injuries just like Rafa, if Roy so much for youth why is Kelly back on the bench (or even not involved) after he has more than proved himself .
And may I remind you, last season Rafa started with 4 youth players against Fulham and paid a heavy price for it. . Something Roy would never do for fear of failure.

Question to the owners:

For years we continue to sign players with physical presence and agression but low in footballing quality. Will your statistical analysis that you have previously used to identify targets prioritise scoring and creating goals over the forementioned qualities?

When will we sign a player that can dribble past a player or two, create chances, score goals and be considered a massive creative threat. All our rivals continue to purchase such players in this mould i.e Arshavin, Walcott, Bale, Messi, Giggs, Nani, Nasri, Ozil etc etc I am not saying we sign these players but surely our target must be to sign players who are built in this mould of performing - be it potential or unknown gems.

Hi ed questions for JWH:
Will there be a change in management before the 2011/12 season?
If so who are the likely candidates for the role?
Will you have a specific wage/ transfer limit?
Where do you see Liverpool.F.C in 5 years time?
Are you (NESV) here for a long time or is this just a quick fix?
Will you please break the bank to aquire the services of Hazard and Mata?
Finally, will you please not allow hodgson to buy C.Cole and SWP?
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Honestly, I don't see Mr. Henry answering any of these questions with anything else than a polite redirect. How can he say anything about his manager when the latter is still under contract? Secondly, if he talks about money, he opens the door for every team we negotiate with to inflate the value of their players. He already said where he wants to take Liverpool in the future and as far as Mata and Hazard is concerned, he'll say that that is Comolli's area of expertise and that he fully trusts the Frenchman. And to the last question, he'll respond with a smile and then he'll turn to the next person to answer their questions.

Reports claim johnson is set to depart in summer. Juve are offering 12m for him, i say we take it. Then buy rami for say 5m and then invest the rest into a top striker, winger and midfielder.

About todays game too, i hope babel gets a chance up top with el nino. And jovanovic gets to play in the starting 11 for once. Aurelio needs to start rather than come on with an hour to go and replace our striker.

My team for today: reina - johnson, kelly, skrtel, aurelio - maxi, lucas, meireles, jovanovic - torres, babel

If Johnson is sold, I hope we find a right-back who can defend. And if we look hard enough and do our homework then there's no reason why we can't find a good solid one for less than we get for Johnson.

We were able to get good solid defenders in Arbeloa and Finnan for little money so lets get looking! Obviously a slot in the squad for Kelly aswell.

I myself was really against roy, his tactics were outdated , his policy was wrong , his press talk was even more wrong. . But he's starting to get this team going, there playing much better football, they seem to be a more pressing and attacking team and hes giving youth more chance. . why not sit this ride out and see where the ship strands us. . maybe we miss Cl , maybe even Europa league. . but let him atleast have 1 year in charge.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I'm the tw@t who asked the question. The problem is after we win a game, everyone says give him more time. and when we lose people say sack him.
I just don't look forward to watching any away games. I live in east africa and the games are on late at night (usually). Before roy was manager, I would never miss a game even if I had to be at work early the next day. But nowadays, I think twice. . or sometimes i just fall asleep on the couch

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I understand how you feel. . i felt the same but lately its been more enjoyable for me atleast , i can't talk for anyone else. . they play better .

Just fill his shoes for a moment . . wouldn't you want a chance to proof everyone wrong? give him a chance. i say if he fails to win 3 in a row from now (newcastle , fulham and the other i don't know the roster atm . . )Since these are must wins in my opinion. .
then there is still a possibility to sack him right? but i do believe he needs our support now. .
and even if he fails to win tonight. i hope he fails with good football. i don't care about winning i care about good football. . and winning is just a mega bonus

Clearly after an abysmal start to the season , Roy Hodgson has improved the team over the last 4 games dramatically , in every quarter the team has improved from formation to team selection and from attacking intent and team work to ambition , of course the team has to find consitency and improve again to achieve the seasons objectives , however it appears to be possible now and we have to trust Roy Hodgson to make sure the club have the courage of those convictions .

The game today is another opportunity to do exactly that , I hope Roy Hodgson can prove himself capable of success at Anfield this season .

I have heard liverpool were looking at Davis at Rangers in the summer, the scottish player of the year, but Hodgson didn't want to work with the lad and vetoed it. I think he could have done a job on the right, very tidy forward thinking player, that might have been the problem. Was it Roy who let him go to rangers?

Hey ED, I know your sources are avoiding you like the plague these days, but from what they've told you in the past about the team, could you give us any goss in regards to the squad? I.e., who is popular, who is disliked etc. . {ed's note - mostly they get on, there are the odd little disagreements, Johnson is not exactly everyone's best mate, while Pepe is loved. I think everyone knows Jamie and Stevie are bezzies, but they are also close with Joe Cole too, hence him joining. There isn't really a lot to tell, it is like a school really, there are lots of silly little arguments but they are almost always solved quickly. Though the arguments were worse at the beginning of the season, everyone was unhappy, but it seems to have settled down now.}

In a way as for the future of the club, to buying players we need to go forwards, common sense says nesv should wait until summer once they get to settle into the sport, as they don't know anything at all of football. common sense says wait until summer until we have a more stable board and set up to run the club the way they wanting to. but common sense also tells you that we need cpl/ few players in January, we need to to have not a better chance but any chance to make top4 finish. in January i think we need to do anything and everything to guarantee us 4 at least. am afraid if we don't make top 4 then it will be long time before we get back mid weak CL football.spurs are having a ball in CL upto date, and sure to give one hell of push towards end of season so they have it again next season the hunger to have and experience it again next season will give them the fight, also city the money they have spent owners will virtually demand that they get into CL. so for me owners as inexperienced as they are. i think they need to be told of the urgency to get back into CL. as it took lfc a long time to get the top flight European football back to anfield before Rafa, am afraid it could be just as long await again if we miss out for a second season. so there for common sense is telling me that we need to spend the money in the areas that is common sence where we need, wide and striker left back. if not i think its going to be more than half a team we will be needing come summer ie goal keeper and main striker not just a back up striker to play along side the best striker in world in torres, if spurs were to get it i could see city coming in and offering torres obscene amouts ov money to move

The only thing I want to know from John Henry is if he's committed to winning Stevie and Carra a Premier League trophy before they retire.

The Boston Red Sox just signed Carl Crawford to a $142 Million contract over 7 years. They are also expected to sign Adrian Gonzalez for $161 million over 7 years as well. John Henry has money to spend. That much is clear. We all want to know when and how he's going to spend it!

Henry has said he wants to invest in the future, not just buy huge names now for Liverpool. Well, Crawford (age 29) and Gonzalez (age 28) are certainly in their prime right now. It's clear he wants to see his Red Sox win NOW. I think it should be the same with Liverpool.

We need a proper left & right back, def. mid & striker, all this moaning about central defence is a lie, Soto, Skartman, Agger, Wilson etc have proved that we have probably the best defence in the EPL.
