I think the best signing so far in the summer is Raul Meireles. Who agrees?

Cant see Torres leaving in january TBH barca don't need him and chelsea , well lets just say he would rather join lille in france the way there playing
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I think City will enquire about him and if they have any luck they will allow Tevez to leave. Barca might be interested but they are supposed to have an eye on Llorente as a replacement for Ibrahimovic.

Ah right, so I defend a player and all of a sudden I want a date with him? Poor logic son. You sound like the teenager.

Ah right so he plays well against Chelsea, and he wants to join them? Ok, whatever you think lad. So for the rest of the season I guess if he plays well he wants to join the team he plays well against? You know, maybe Torres does like Chelsea and would join them, no-one knows, but to suggest his performance against Chelsea was an indication of that is quite frankly dumb from my point of view.

Ah, so Torres just stands still the whole game and never makes a run? What a load of garbage. He makes them all the time he just doesn't get the service at all. Like I said, something like 3 clear cut chances in 6 games says it all.

Yes, something is wrong with Torres. I would guess his wife being pregnant contributed, but mainly lack of confidence, and lack of good players/ service around him.

Ah right, so because my opinion isn't the same as yours it is inconclusive? (Yet you seem to "know" he wants to leave and don't know him personally at all) How condescending. Atleast I have put forward an arguement and backed it up with validity. And no, you haven't answered all of my points of put something forward against them you have ignored parts so no point talking to you about this issue.

We'll agree to disagree.

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

You haven't justified anything. Your telling me he makes runs and doesn't stand still. Welll I'm telling you that I'd be pulling him off on a sunday morning if he was in my team sherking and ambling around like he has been for Liverpool.

What a shame poor old Fernando has had the inconvenience of his wife having a bun in the oven. I'll have a word with my gaffer and i'll see if he'll let me take my foot off the gas for six months while my mrs is pregnant.

I never said I know he wants to leave I said it was my opinion based on his demenaour. I further stated that any opinion on Torres is merely conjecture, including both mine and yours.

Your whole defence of Torres is based upon his apparent lack of confidence. Granted, its an opinion that can't be ruled out, we'll have to wait and see. You also go on to imply that we have a lack of good players. Well next time he gets the ball to his feet and the pass gets intercepted because he's not interested, we'll blame it on the lack of quality surroundings. Theres no excuse for lazyness, interpret it as you wish but if you'd played at a good standard of football you'd have the ability to spot a player who's hiding.

Flew home to dublin 2day went to see game last night fc utrect were also there in fact we were bunched in among them in the queue to go through security just about made the flight! there was no big fuss about it but i noticed ricky van wolfswinkel with what appeared to be his parents and another gentleman maybe his agent? i assume a certain two wer his parents as they were particulary close when talking to him he had his arm in a sling under a coat from injury last nite and the woman was 'minding' him if u like. .never know could have had talks over a jan move anyway never mind that i also met aldo on way over in dublin airport! a legend in ireland and at liverpool was great with kids asking for photos and autographs top bloke. cheers ed great site keep up good work oh nearly forgot jonjo shelvey had a great game watched him closely and im very impressed on his progress a future captain me thinks! J Red {ed's note - it would be more likely to be a doctor with Rocky and Bullwinkle I would say.}

According to de Telegraaf van Wolfswinkl was able to travel home with the rest of the squad so if you saw him you must have seen the rest of the players!
One thing that I can never understand is all these fans who see players at Airports, walking around Albert Dock and Melwood, etc, but never take any photographs. If you look close there is a section where you can place photographs but although I constantly look I never see any. Come on you fans get the cameras out!

I think the responder is the one who's having problems with what they have or haven't seen. read the first sentence again.

Anyway. why doubt him? I think its pretty believable that he was there. The possible permutations is the rumour. and that's what this site is for. . There's also a bit of form on the rumour. rumours come in obviously ridiculous and quite plausible. This is of the latter. I've seen loads of famous people on my travels. I'm talking 30 flights a year here. I've never taken my camera out


- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
also try messing with your phone/ camera going through any security in an airport. . mmm yea good idea buddy
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Please accept my sincerest apologies for not reading the first part of your comment correctly. However I will say that I have also travelled extensively and have never had any problems taking photographs in airports in civilised countries. Celebrities don't just suddenly appear in the security areas - they are usually seen all over the airport. I also said that they are 'spotted' in places like the Albert Dock and Melwood. There are very few who will think it rude if you take a photograph. If you look at some websites you will see photographs of celebritities - Daniel Craid at Anfield, Caroline Wozniecki at Anfield, Liam Neeson watching Liverpool, Sylvester Stone asleep at Goodison Park - there are numerous examples. Anyway here is a message to my new-found 'buddies' have a great Christmas ans let's hope that we all have a Happy New Year - especially when we are watching Liverpool.

This is what Babel said earlier about LFC and Hodgson

"The club is amazing and there are still a lot of fans who believe in me so that gives me a goal.

"They (Hodgson and Benitez) are different. The current manager does things differently, and maybe that suits me better.

"When he arrived he was closer with the team, talking to players, and maybe that gives the players a boost to respond better.

"He's more involved day to day with the players. He does things differently. Under Rafa the assistant managers took a lot of responsibility but that is different now.

Now after hearing this and watch us play on the pitch Roy's tactics must be absolutely terrible. Because the players don't look like they are having fun to me.

Sad 2 say but we are a club in crises didn't think things could of got any worse than last season we have a ready made man in kenny to come in at first til the end of he season and i'd have full faith in him 2 do a good job get the team playing a more attractive brand of football think he could get the best out of torres and stevie who worships him if nesv can't make this decission i wouldn't b expecting much from them in the transfer market your thoughts on kenny please ed?

Hi Ed how much would you think the following would be sold for
Hazard
A. Sanchez Udinese
L. Suarez Ajax
D. Santon Inter

Could possibly sign bottom three for a combined 32 - 35 million. Would love all 4 obviously but doubt we would get them all. Think there's any chance of any of above coming off considering money problems at Ajax and Sanchez's falling out at Udinese

{Editor's Note: There is no chance of two of those players, and outside chance of one and a possibility of one.}

I wish i could be as gracious as both of you. Forget about the way we play for a minute and focus on what Hodgson's said. For me it's unbelievable as the things he says he seems to be treating the club with utter contempt.

I wish i was like you Chris and MUSHROOM as you are true gents and very lenient. Were i have to be honest also i dislike the man and would go as far to say i hate him.

Blair Mayne YNWA
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

No you don't blair. believe me you truly don't hate the man, you may dislike what he says and does, you may disagree with his decisions, his rabbit trapped in the headlights dealing with the media. but you don't hate the man.
We are better than that, lots of people on here bang on about the liverpool way. but its still there, and part of this is when we play another team who play wonderful football and beat us. and we clap them off the pitch, we show appreciation for football played the way it should be played by whomever.

So yes dislike him, his tactics etc, the things he says, but don't hate him, because that damages you much more than him.

ok. sermon over

I don't think Carol Konchesky remembers that Liverpool are one of a handful of clubs where it should be seen as a complete privilege to play for. They include;

Liverpool
Man U
Arsenal
Inter Milan
AC Milan
Juventus
Real Madrid
Barcelona
Bayern Munich
Boca Juniors
Sao Paulo

I don't think Charlton are on this list, so she should just remember who her son is representing.

Carrager/ Soto
Agger/ Skrtel
Contreao/ Aurelio
Young/ Kuyt
Gerrard/ Shelvey
Meireles/ Lucas
Honda/ Babel
Torres/ N'gog

Ed, you mention that the club will skip over the left back problem if a buyer doesn't come in for Insua. Well that's set in stone then, the burger munchers on his way back. There's not a cat in hells chance that a prudent chairman would part with £50 for that t* t. He'll come back carry on frequenting the city's finer restaurants to get better quality burgers and stroll around the pitch once or twice a week ball watching.

{Editor's Note: My point exactly. If he comes back that will be three left backs - why buy another?}

cos 2 r total sh*t and Woy "i don't seem 2 like playing aurelio our only decent left back" Hodgson, loves this he* ing t* t KONCH and obviously his mother. we need taiwo or conterao (spelling) 2 play, get rid of konch keep insua as backup.

We are Liverpool FC players may come and go but we will be fine. So come on let's get behind the lads tomoro and show our support. The future is bright.

Good attacking football and knows his tactics!

If Insua (the salad dodger) comes back, lets just hope he's lost 2 stone. Lets also hope that he's learned to stay with his man when defending rather than gurping over the other side of the pitch ball watching. Thirdly, 90 minutes of concentration son, your paid enough money to put a shift in for 90 minutes. He should go and day dream in his own time, footballers have plenty of it.

Well i did say the papers would mention the possibility of deffour and there is no possibility which is a shame he looks quality, defo better than lucas, hell probably end up at manure.scott dann rumours are a possibility and would probably be benficial as he is home grown and he is pretty decent, i personaally would prefer mexes but we need a CB pronto, especially seeing as bayern want agger, the prospect of carzola excites me as he is top quality, sylvain marveux (right-winger) will hold talks with us at some point over a pre-contract agreement, as so will taye taiwo, but even if we sign marveux we will still bid for hazard , lasgtly don't expect koncheskey to leave even if new manager comes, one because nobody ewill want hin, 2 for left back cover 3 for home grown count

What a big mistake getting rid of agger would b im not saying hes world class but compared to skirtel and the greek hes miles ahead but the main problem with him is he wants to pass the ball every good team has one centre half who holds onto the ball resulting in the midfield having more posession but that's obviously not woys game i think agger has bein treated v badly and wouldn't blame him for leaving

Nobody really has a clue about the players comeing in in january but the names ive seen linked to us remind me of cheap squad players we have been down that road (babel, jovanavic, rodriguez, poulsen, konchesky)to mention a few and it never works.
it will be hard to get star players in january but i for one will rather see one player for 25 million arrive than 4 for 6 or 7million.

bring in a striker and left winger now.

in the summer look for a right winger, central midfielder, centre back , left back and right back.

this will be the time to clear the dead wood id love to see conner wickham and romalu lukaku join the club

True, but I wouldn't jump to conclusions though. Some of our fans tend to make something out of nothing when it comes to these issues.

I planned on going to the Fulham match, but I'm just gona spend the money taking the kids for a day/ evening out. Went on a rant last week after the performance and tactics and I've decide I'm not spending my money watching that garbage week in week out and spending money for food and a taxi. No way.

Hodgeson fella you need to step aside this job is not for you. I've never wanted to see one man go so soon and thought it wasn't our way to call for a Managers head but this is going too far on every front. From leaving our star striker on the bench to bringing in players like Konchesky and his Ma deciding to have a go. . .i can't think of one reason for Liverpool Football Club to keep you on.

you know you are on borrowed time but if you wanted to do us all a favour and show any class then stand down.

MUSHROOM

I know exactly what you mean mushroom. I have no PERSONAL issues at all with the man. i think he seems a decent, intelligent man who is just out of his depth.

However when ones assumes the mantle if being liverpool manager it is a heavy weight to bear. and i really don't think roy realised what it was he was taking on.

So. regards the man himself. no problems, he is fine, decent, kind to children and hasnt killed anyone. as a mangaer i find him tactically inept, he appears clueless in his dealings with the media. and just isn't the man to take us forward.

What does irk me is everyone making fun of his speech impediment. am sorry he doesn't deserve that. some of you sods can barely string 3 words together. so critisize him all you like. lets keep the personal insults down though

Reina - losing it, dip in form big time.
Johnson - can't defend, is not the greatest attacker.
kyriagos - lacks inteligence, pace
Skertel - 50/ 50
Koncesky - decent but nothing special
Kuyt - no real pace
Meireles - guy has been our best player by a country mile
lucas - showing more consistency has real potential
rodrigues - no strenght, no pace
Torres - lazy, he looks injured
Babel - needs to find his position on the pitch and stick to it.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Sorry but I disagree with what you said about Reina, Torres and Johnson. Reina hasn't lost it, have you seen some of the saves he's made this season? Yes, two mistakes granted, but the best make mistakes. As for Johnson, I agree, poor defender but probably our best attacking player in the wide positions (says a lot for our wingers when a socalled full-back is better going forward). And Torres isn't lazy, chasing the ball down all of the time - he's low on confidence imo.

I've just read a few articles on what Konchesky's mum said. I've one word for her "WHOREBAG" as for Paul surely we can't give him a hard time just because his mum took a c*** out of her mouth and s*** spilled out.

Liverpool Rumours
"Quick question on what people think of Christian Purslow. Played his part in getting rid of the muppets, *but* also played his part in bringing in Woy."

It was actually Broughton who played a big part (engineered) Liverpool appointment of Roy, his first contact was back in May . . This is not a secret just watch the press conference introducing Roy as new manager to the press and watch out for words from Broughton about a meeting with Roy.
Purslow did the sacking of Rafa, but guess was following orders rather than his own plans.


im not sticking up for roy. . . because quite honestly ive never been so uninterested as i have been this season, the football is crap, and im sick of the dissapointment, but, i don't think purslow should be getting any back lash for "playing his part in bringing roy in", as im almost sure roy won the manager of the year award, last year which is a big honour. and purslow must have thought, if he can do that with fulham. . . . . .
maybe i was naive, but as uninspired as i was with the appoint of roy (i was praying for pelligrini) i was hugely optimistic and thought in the pre-season, he said and did all the right things. . . . o how times have changed!

The Facebook database was hacked into yesterday. . . do you really think carol would make such a stupid comment.

Lets be real our team our well below par if we are to be considered a top 6 club. We are missing quality all over the pitch.

Reina - losing it, dip in form big time.
Johnson - can't defend, is not the greatest attacker.
kyriagos - lacks inteligence, pace
Skertel - 50/ 50
Koncesky - decent but nothing special
Kuyt - no real pace
Meireles - guy has been our best player by a country mile
lucas - showing more consistency has real potential
rodrigues - no strenght, no pace
Torres - lazy, he looks injured
Babel - needs to find his position on the pitch and stick to it.

We should move for tevez and johnson. maybe for torres + 20 million. And Carrol 15m.

imaging tevez and carrol up front with real width offered from johnson and babel. meireles and gerrard in the middle. buy a couple of decent full backs (in the mould of evra/ cliche/ abidal/ cole). sorted! !

I don't want to be a 'top 6' club, I want to be a top 1 club. {ed's note - no point replying, anyone who thinks a hacker is going to hack into FB's database of 500 million accounts to change a few comments on Carol Konchesky's profile is probably not going to be in the real world.}

I think it's about time we started playing Joe Cole where he wants to be played. He's getting stick from the fans for his poor performances but reality is he wants to play in a central-position and he's being shoved out on the left wing. Given the injury to David N'Gog, why not play him behind Torres in the Fulham game? My line-up would be (on the basis that Gerrard won't start):

- - - - - - - - Reina- - - - - - -

Johnson- -Skrtel- -Wilson- - Aurelio

Kuyt- - -Lucas- - -Meireles- -Maxi

- - - - - - - J.Cole- - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - Torres- - - - - - -

But I think if Roy is gona start with Cole in that position, Kygriakos will start ahead of Wilson and Paul "the class" Konchesky (as his mummy says) instead of Aurelio.

In the next 2 transfer windows the following players should all be moved on;

Joe Cole 5-7mil
Ryan Babel 8-10 mil
Milan Jovanovic 4-6 mil
Dirk Kuyt 8-12 mil
Paul Konchesky 3-4 mil
Stephen Darby 500k-1 mil
Christian Poulsen 2-4 mil
Martin Skrtel 5-7 mil

Out of that list only Kuyt is a truly valuable member of our squad. But he is not what we need out on the right flank.

We could realistically expect anywhere between 35-50 mil. for the loss of those 8 players.

We would then need to sign, in order of priority; Left wing, right wing, striker, left back, creative attacking mid, centre back, defensive mid.

We should also be aware that the following players all have contracts expiring in the Summer.

Bosingwa, Pienaar, M Diarra, Hargreaves, Eboue, Steven Taylor, Ronaldinho, Mexes, Ziegler, Emanuelson, Rakitic, Klosse, Trochowski, Almeida, Altintop, Postiga, Taiwo and Kewell :p

Personally I think we should seriously go after at least Pienaar, Taiwo and Mexes. Which would leave between 35-50 million plus NESV funds to go after; Sanchez/ Hazard, Llorente/ Lukaku, Honda.

Easy :)

Mario Gomez isn't happy at Bayern. He was bitterly disappointed not to sign for us earlier on in the season. Although he has picked up a bit of form, his head has still been turned and Bayern don't want an unhappy player at the club, who could disrupt the dressing room atmosphere. Although if Liverpool were to try and buy him outright I'm sure they would want a few more millions than they did before. A loan deal still looks possible to me.

It is really bugging me that some people seem to think NESV have not got money to spend. They have got money but they will spend it responsibly. They also won't wave wads of cash loadsamoney style like the 2 bafoons H&G did during an interview in Athens before the 2007 CL Final. Henry has more class.

We are not asking for Man City style spending. All we want is the right investment in the right players at the right price. The first time I see the 'Loadsamoney' signs, I will know they are wrong for the club. I think NESV will do things properly, without any press leaks.

I think we will be able to afford players, but we need to get shut of the deadwood.We can't afford to be paying substantial wages to bit part squad players. Jovanivic and Cole Poulsen and Konchesky Greek and Babel could be sold and replaced by three signings and three of the reserves making a step up.Some of these players are on big money at the club.The club needs to be managed better, buying 3 top quality players rather than six average players, would be my way forward and introducing some of the younger players.

Roy Hodgson is so worried he could be set to lose his job and has asked the board for an emergency meeting to clarify his position. He wants to know sooner rather than later if they plan to relplace him, with possible job ops becoming available at prem clubs West Ham, Blackburn(unlikely they would re-hire), and Wolves.

"Wtf makes you think any top class players want to come to lfc were a mess, so i think the above would be ideal.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
What would make a top class player want to go to Newcastle, but they signed Ben Arfa? What would make a top class player sign for Cologne, but Podolski went. .
Get behind your team an stop your pessimistic scrutinizing of our great club, the way your speaking youd think you were a blue nose"
=========

MONEY, money moved Ben Arfa (and the fact no other club wanted to go anywhere near him).
The original poster is right , and its a point I posted a couple of weeks ago, its not pessimism , but the reality of it, big players (15-20m plus players - ie not the likes of Joe cole) move clubs if:
1- Offered a lot of money - which is not NESV policy
2- Regular european football, champions league or at least Europa - few of us in here are very concerned where we will end up come end of the season, and just like we can see that , the players and their advisers will do to.
3- Good manager, if we have a manager with good reputation in Europe, then players maybe tempted to join us, even in our current situation, they would think the manager can turn it around - sadly our manager does not have such reputation.

Class players would want to join big clubs and sure we have been and still are, but I am not sure if we can attract such players without 1 or 2 or 3.

skrtel
kyrgiakos
i'd say the cb position is pretty much covered, its lb where improvement is needed. tomorrows game is where roys team selection with be judged, if he continue's to play konchesky ahead of aurelio then it is a clear sign that the club will win nothing under roy. if aurelio can't get in the team what chance does mavinga have of playing.
on a brighter note, just been looking on the new news website and i never noticed how much the pope looks like the emperor off star wars lol class.

I have a couple thoughts. Just cause NESV havent sacked Hodgson does not mean you all should lose faith in them. They will get our beloved club on the right course. It took a few years with the Red Sox. And if you question their commitment to winning, they just paid 300 million for 2 players to be the foundation of the Sox for the next 7 years. Dont doubt the same will happen with LFC.

Secondly if all of you hate Roy now, how will you feel when he is Englands manager. Is it possible us Yonks will have a better manager in Bob Bradley?

Very good comment above, most if not all want roy gone but NESV are new to this. I want Roy gone but I don't think they make quick fire decisions on his situation. I think there comments towards him show that there not happy and results and style need to improve. I think they want him to leave rather than them sack him. They can only prove there point when Liverpool finish outside european places and go no where in the cups. A bad season is going to get worse, but I believe they will get us back there one day but not for a few years yet

Looks like the new regime will be keeping a lid on all dealings until the ink is dry and quite right to its the best way to do buisiness

Think on the manager front they have probably already made their decision but no announcments until new manager is ready to be installed, also change of regime in midstream does not always work well i.e. man to man v zonal anf formation new guy could have his formation ideas but not the squad to operate it.

So all in all it looks like a long season ahead and a busy May/ June what do you think ed

Liverpool Rumours
Been nosing round the internet as "supposed" Lfc targets, and the likes of Adebayour, Santa Cruz, Jo, Cleo et al keep showing up with values ranging from £10M-20M! If these are to be believed, I would hope the likes of Saurez, Hazard, Honda, Young, Turan could all easily be realistic targets. I'd imagine NESV, Comoli, and Roy know they're gaol(s), and with the squad being so poor I'd hope they opt for the these types of players and not the players who can't even make or 4th spot competitors benches. People think just beacuse we're in a rut we can't attract good players, not true! With our pedigree, our fans/ support, new owners/ new era, and the fact we play in the best league in world football I wouldn't doubt for a second players wouldn't leave the likes of Galatysaray, Ajax, Villa, etc to play for us! look at Meireles, Porto FC capitain/ vice-cap, left to join us. .

Secondly, people keep linking us with central players, like Pastore, Nuri Sahin, Frantz, etc. .we have plenty of creative mids! Gerrard, Meireles, Lucus (dif player all together now!), and Shelvey (looks a talent) to name a few! The creativity we lack isn't central it's from the wide areas! All the players we play wide (Kuyt, Maxi, Babel, Javanovic) are NOT wingers, they're all strikers/ wing forwards. .we have no outlet from the touchline, no one who can beat a man and get into, or deliver a ball into, the box! !

Conclusion, i'd be over the moon with:

Honda (£10-12M)
Mexes (£3M max)
Taiwo (Bosman/ pre-contract)
A Young (people, he's not over rated! He carries Villa at times and he's got pace, trickery, good delivery, good feet, and he's ENGLISH! !, will admit he fades from games, but I'd put that down to current lack of belief in himself/ his team)

As for a striker, unless we sign a Hulk/ Gomes type (quality) player, I'd shop elsewere, and utilise Kuyt and N'goals more! I'd flog:

Agger (class act, but plays too few games. )
Maxi
Babel (part ex w/ Saurez as Babel was ex-Ajax)
Javanovic
Poulsen,

and give more game to:

Pacheco
Wilson
Kelly

One for you Ed(s): What you think of Wilson being our LB? He got player of the year for the SPL and Rangers, Dalglish picked him, and he's only about 18/ 19. He looked comfortable on the ball, and can pass into midfield (Agger-esque), seeing as much of this season been 'a gamble' I'd rather him or Insua over Konchesky and Aurelio. .) {ed's note - he is a centre back, we moan about the manager playing players out of position after all.}

Mushroom you need to get real and stop talking cr@p. Of course we'd all like to see Mata, Llorente, Hazard, Alonso, Suarez, David Luiz, Etc, sign for LFC but it ain't gonna happen (we may get one of fore mentioned player next summer).
You say we shouldn't buy the likes of Bentley and Nzogbia, Why? Because you think we should be buying superstars. LFC, no matter what you believe isn't the draw it used to be. Without paying massive wages these players ain't coming until we get back in to the CL. And to get to the CL we need to improve our starting 11 and our squad. Both Bentley and Nzogbia are far better wingers than any that we have. Have you seen Nzogbia this season, he's been superb, and Bentley has actually done well when he's played for Spurs (he ain't playing for spurs at mo as they have the best wingers in the EPL, that's all). You also say lets keep the money till the summer, if we don't add natural width in Jan we'll finish in the bottom half of the table and will struggle to attract the likes of Nzogbia, let alone the Galacticos your thinking about.
If we were given an open cheque book, your right there are better players out there, but we won't be. These players will make an impact on our season and push us up the table. So get off your high horse and be a bit more realistic.

Badger Boy

SO SO SO true really loved reading that comment. Nzogbia has been superb he is as good as valencia for united. Every time i see us linked to a player like LLorente suarez banega etc i am pleased however i never expect it to happen. Nzogbia is quick he is the rock of wigan team keeps them up in each season gets all the assists if he isn't scoring himself and at 7 million why the hell not?
Quick
Left footed
Wide winger
Can play left back
A lot of potential.
I for one have come to accept that things aren't how they used to be and we were able to get Nzogbia In january then you would see immediate effect in his forward thinking and his direct play. I've always like watching him bit of an idiot but none the less he would have immediate effect.
The big point for me about him is: premier league experience and at just 24 !

What say you Ed?

Why are people blaming the media for Hodgson being our manager. We didn't have to hire him and he was given the job by a panel that included King Kenny. I would like to see a more attack minded manager as much as the next guy, but come on get real!

CARLTON COLE could not make it at Chelski and Bentley warms the bench for thew Yids week in week out. Good enough for Liverpool do me a favour. We were lucky Woy couldn't land Cole in the lasrt minute of the last window. Mid table mediocrity might have pleased him at Fulham but this aint Fulham. We DO NOT need more dross clogging up our wage bill. If Woy is behind these links then I am pulling my fragile support for him completely. Being a Red at this precise moment is rather depressing.

maybe we can't attract the top world class players at the moment given lack of CL football, but we are a massive club with history and a bright future (if Roy leaves!) which means surely we can attract better players than those 4 donkeys. i would rather play with 10 men than have Carlton Cole in the team! he is a poor mans Ngog, on a good day!

I know exactly what you mean mushroom. I have no PERSONAL issues at all with the man. i think he seems a decent, intelligent man who is just out of his depth.

However when ones assumes the mantle if being liverpool manager it is a heavy weight to bear. and i really don't think roy realised what it was he was taking on.

So. regards the man himself. no problems, he is fine, decent, kind to children and hasnt killed anyone. as a mangaer i find him tactically inept, he appears clueless in his dealings with the media. and just isn't the man to take us forward.

What does irk me is everyone making fun of his speech impediment. am sorry he doesn't deserve that. some of you sods can barely string 3 words together. so critisize him all you like. lets keep the personal insults down though

Well the following comments i am about to make got me the right back in the top tier position off the Ed.

Ok, here goes. . . . BRING RAFA BACK NOW.

I know the issues about him and the style of football he was increasingly bringing to us.

But if the owners are as good as they say they are, Rafa and NESV are a marriage made in heaven.

I truly believe this. Can you imagine if we had NESV going back to 2007 when we bought Torres, we would have bought the equilavalent in 2008 and 2009 and 2010?

Lack of investment from 2007 onwards, some poor choices with what little money Rafa had admittedly but do you not think the Rafa/ NESV partnership would be ideal?

Bring Rafa BACK!

Really annoys me how the crappy English media slaughter Rafa Benitez and other Liverpool managers in the media when they're doing bad and things don't go their way, yet Hodgson is making a mess and playing awful football and he is actually getting it relativly easy.

Rafa gets beat and its "under pressure Rafa on the brink" or "Rafa tactical flop".

Roy is doing bad "Woeful Liverpool slump to defeat" or "Players add to Roy woes" - nothing rarely criticising Roy.

Facts are, Roy Hodgson getting the Liverpool job was partly down to a media driven campaign to get an English man into one of the big 4 clubs (Liverpool in the Summer). And they love their little cockney boys so of course Roy Hodgson won't be blamed for our position at all in Sky Sports and the like. It's all down to the players or Rafa and he's not even here now.

And the media are even giving our fans stick for opposing Roy Hodgson. Spurs loving pricks. One of the reasons I want us to win the PL again is to rub it into that lot. Would relish it.
===================================
I agree with this post. It is one of the reasons Rafa hardly ever did any one on one interviews with the London based media and press, tending to use local press, LFCTV and the Spanish media for interviews etc.
Yes Rafa made mistakes but he was never given the credit he deserved from the likes of Sky Sports and others. Jamie Redknapp, Andy Gray and Richard Keys were particularly unkind and really rubbed it in when Spurs beat Inter at White Hart Lane.
Hodgson was imposed on the club in the summer probably by the juggernaught of favourable media from a bunch Chelsea/ Spurs/ West Ham/ Utd supporting journalists. A conspiracy to hurt Liverpool Football Club. But we will be back. Guaranteed !

Hazard has never been the subject of any concrete rumours, but that could be a good thing, no one heard anything about Meireles after all. As for a defender, I don't believe Comolli is targeting one, he is very much into using younger players, I would think he would be wanting Roy to make more use of Wilson, Ayala (when he comes back next month) and Kelly.}

And for starters, lets get one thing straight, Roy will still be manager come the end of the season at least.

Roy Hodgson has, over the past, managed to get the best out of average players, turning them into good players. Look at what he did with Bobby Zamora for example. Once a laughing stock of a striker, couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo, then, he turned into one of the leagues most in-form striker scoring on a regular basis.

John Henry has promised funds for January signings. However, the budget for January is very limited as Henry sees the Summer as the ideal window to properly spend. Therefore, Hodgson has had to set his sights on more average players, and will try and work more closely with these players to get the most out of them.

Carlton Cole - Striker
Hodgson set his sights on Luis Suarez, but, due to the limited budget, doesn't want to spend about £12m on him and blow a majority of the budget on him. Therefore, he has turned his attention back to Carlton Cole. Cole is extremely unhappy at West Ham and has made his feelings known. The West Ham board may decide to cash in on him considering he wants to leave. Would cost around £7m

David Bentley - Right Wing
The main target for the wings was Eden Hazard. Hazard again would command a large transfer fee and has recently made it public that he wants to join Arsenal. Hodgson sees Bentley's trickery and ability to run with the ball as ideal for the wings and would cost £5m at most.

Charles N'Zogbia - Left Wing
Ashley Young was the first choice to join to cover the left flank. Again, a very pricey player who is sometimes just as good as N'Zogbia. The Liverpool fans who watched our 2-1 defeat to Wigan a few months back would have seen this guyand how many problems he caused our defense. Pacy, tricky, a decent player. Only problem is his attitude. Would be available for around £7m

Scott Dann
Ryan Shawcross was the main target for £10m, but again, funds are limited. Dann has proven himself as a solid centre back in a very average, struggling Birmingham side. Would act as cover for the centre backs. Available for £6m

*Coxy* That would be good for his past mediocrity clubs , but we are LIVERPOOL .

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
We are Liverpool, we need to aspire higher than these players.
Also, where do you get the idea that funds are limited, NESV have just spent $300 on 2 players contracts at Boston??

Mushroom you need to get real and stop talking cr@p. Of course we'd all like to see Mata, Llorente, Hazard, Alonso, Suarez, David Luiz, Etc, sign for LFC but it ain't gonna happen (we may get one of fore mentioned player next summer).
You say we shouldn't buy the likes of Bentley and Nzogbia, Why? Because you think we should be buying superstars. LFC, no matter what you believe isn't the draw it used to be. Without paying massive wages these players ain't coming until we get back in to the CL. And to get to the CL we need to improve our starting 11 and our squad. Both Bentley and Nzogbia are far better wingers than any that we have. Have you seen Nzogbia this season, he's been superb, and Bentley has actually done well when he's played for Spurs (he ain't playing for spurs at mo as they have the best wingers in the EPL, that's all). You also say lets keep the money till the summer, if we don't add natural width in Jan we'll finish in the bottom half of the table and will struggle to attract the likes of Nzogbia, let alone the Galacticos your thinking about.
If we were given an open cheque book, your right there are better players out there, but we won't be. These players will make an impact on our season and push us up the table. So get off your high horse and be a bit more realistic.

Youre right, but the players you listed wouldn't even be good enough for Fulham.
I'm still convinced that we can still - for a limited time only - convince world class players to come to our club. We're still a big draw - look at Bayern Munich and Inter, they're both having god-awful seasons but good players would still choose them over the lesser-known German and Italian clubs for the sense of tradition, respect and history. I know they'd still take a big wage packet over those things, but we have Comolli: who's found Modric, Clichy, Prince-Boateng, Gomes, players that would get us into the Top 4 . hopefully.

Why go for Carlton Cole when he is such a poor player? The idea is to bring in better quality players not worse. After West Ham get relegated he will be worth nothing anyway. He would do nothing at Anfield and neither would Bentley. We don't want other clubs cast offs as they didn't with the likes of Voronin.

That's a great shout from our friend over the big pond. If you take a step back and look at the bigger picture on all the names being mentioned on here:

1-Promoting Young Players
Bit of a controversial topic on fan forums, but at least Pacheco and Kelly have signed improved contracts, albeit we would all like to see them on the pitch more often as well as others I could mention (Gaffa's choice)

2-Undervalued Players.
Theo Walcott seems to be a name springing up lately. Has bags of potential to improve and suits NESV's profile, yet never gets his game with Arsenal with will decrease the players value. Interesting rumour.

3-Risky Players
Suarez was mentioned on this guys previous post, but what about Emmanuel Adebayor? There's an article on our very own LFC media watch section. Another guy who can be top notch on his day, but when he sulks the dummy well and truly comes out the pram. Second half season lone deal has been touted, could be great business until a new manager comes in at the end of the season who can then look at. . .

4-Big Time Signings
We all have a similar idea on who we want to see in a Liverpool shirt, Hazard, Aguero, Mata, the list is endless. Would love to be proved wrong but this is more likely to happen in the Summer.

Nobody really knows what's going to happen, yet we all know our starting 11 just isn't good enough. January aint that far away now!

It looks likely that Dzeko and Honda will sign for us in the January window.
Honda was in Paris yesterday choosing a new mobile phone and over lunch at Le Chantecler at Ronde Pointe, he told the waiting media:
"I am delighted that Liverpool are in for me and I will be signing for them in January. A mate of a mate of Ryan babel told me it was good club and I agree. The fee will not bother me as I am only interested in signing to play alongside Poulsen and Torres. This is a great day for me."
According to his agent, Eric de Riposte, Honda was impressed with the wishlists on the Liverpool Football Rumours website and really wanted to know what the eds thought before he agreed to sign.
As far as Dzeko is concerned, he told an Albanian website that when he has completed his three day tour of the Findus factory in Stavanager, he will be jetting into Liverpool without anyone knowing. He said on Albanian Radio Footer:
"This is a dream come true for my agent and financial advisor. I want to sign for the North European Soccer Vehicle as they now own the Liverpool FC and have been talking secretly to me for the since three months. Although I never knew the name of the man, he did agree to throw in a year's subscription to the Bootle Times. Since he knows a mate of a mate of a mate who has delivered forzen chicken to the training ground, I can believe him"

If we can't get quality players in the transfer window, then why settle for more average dead wood. Bentley and Nzogbia both think they are better than what they are. I would personally keep the money until the summer if this is all the talent we can attract in January. These 2 are no better than what we have already. We probably have better youngsters.

I have to comment on this as I too am in agreement;

17 Dec 2010 09:50:30
Liverpool Rumours
Living in the US Im really familiar with how NESV have run the Red Sox. I think sometimes when I read on here someone mention a big name they get alot of responses like "he will cost too much." Well NESV are not afraid to sign big name players to big contracts. In fact when you look at the Red Sox I'd say there are four types of player moves theyve used to build the team.

1-Promoting young players through the system and giving them a chance at the big league club. A few years ago Dustin Pedroia was in his 1st year in the Major Leagues. He was awful, absolutely pitiful for half a year or so. Then he picked it up and played well. Now he is one of the best players in baseball. They will be willing to give youngsters a chance and will be patient with them. I think they'll apply this same approach to Liverpool, both by giving youth players a chance and also by signing young players (18-21) and giving them a chance.

2-Undervalued Players. The Sox have had a history of signing players who were never given a proper chance by other teams or who are undervalued by the sport as a whole. Their plan has often been to try to sign several players like this with the hope that 1 or 2 of them pan out. For instance years ago the Sox signed a bunch of players who were all similar players. A few of them fell by the wayside but one of them was David Ortiz who is one of the best hitters in the league for nearly a decade. Id expect them to use this strategy with Liverpool. This could apply to players who haven't been able to crack the first 11 at their current clubs but our scouts like or players who will be availible on frees and thus don't cost as much money.

3-Risky Players. With the Sox this has mostly been players coming off injuries. The Sox have several times signed players with injury concerns but alot of talent. Due to the injury concerns they don't cost alot of money. The thinking is if the stays hurt it didn't cost alot but if he is healthy the player could be a steal. In football this could apply to players with off the field issues. For instance the rumors about Suarez. If he hadn't bit a player hed probably go for 25 mil plus. Due to his issues his price may be low. So Liverpool put in a low bid and say "if they accept, great, if they don't no big deal". With the thinking being if the player comes here and continues to be a problem it didn;t cost a ton of money but if he comes here and cleans up his act we could have a great player on our hands for a low cost.

4-Big Time Signings. The Red Sox recently gave about 300 million dollars in contracts to 2 star players. I don't see any reason Liverpool wouldn't also go after stars. I know Aguero is a bit of a running joke on this site but I see no reason why NESV wouldn't try to sign a player like this.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Great post!

I have researched a lot regarding NESV, and this post says it all. Red Sox expenditure on players is very high.

People disregard a lot of high profile players linked with Liverpool FC, with the same excuses 'to expensive, wage demands will be to high etc'.

NESV are winners, they want to make Liverpool FC once again winners. With this attitude expect some shocks in the transfer market (excluding January - not value for money).

With the history of NESV, do not be surprised with one marque signing each year which could be £25 million plus.

James Mc

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ -

Major League Baseball revenue $6.8 billion (£4.3 billion) per year
The Premierl league revenue is £2.3 billion per year

The Red Sox revenue is $266 million least year (£170 million)
Liverpool revenue is £184 million last year.

Shows to me that with similiar revenues for both Teams, no reason why NESV couldn't spend similar amounts for Liverpool as they do the Red Sox.

My dear Blair,

I am sorry that the polysyllabics were deemed excessive, I shall make the same point a little more concisely. Myself and one of the editors are having a bit of dispute. I am beginning to find the fact that the editor in question keeps pretending to have contacts, and perhaps even influence at Anfield, a little bit tiresome. Admittedly, it was mildly amusing initially, but now the joke has worn as thin as Keira Knightley's wooden spoon. The editor in question seems to disagree. In the editor's defence, his knowledge of football-related issues is wide-ranging, but that is not the same thing as having inside information.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Then RedOwl why did you not say to the Ed that you thought he was talking sh*t?

Keep it SIMPLES mate or are you being what you accused the Ed of being "Arrogant" as by the looks of your posts suggest. I have my doubts you even support LFC as you don't sound like one. If i had a guess i would say you're a Chelsea fan we all know how arrogant and self indulgent them idiots are.

Would be happy with both Nzogbia and Bentley. Nzogbia is tempremental but still a very good winger, as is Bentley. Also as these players are relatively cheap would leave enough money to still purchase a top quality striker.

My dear Blair,

I am sorry that the polysyllabics were deemed excessive, I shall make the same point a little more concisely. Myself and one of the editors are having a bit of dispute. I am beginning to find the fact that the editor in question keeps pretending to have contacts, and perhaps even influence at Anfield, a little bit tiresome. Admittedly, it was mildly amusing initially, but now the joke has worn as thin as Keira Knightley's wooden spoon. The editor in question seems to disagree. In the editor's defence, his knowledge of football-related issues is wide-ranging, but that is not the same thing as having inside information.

Question to ed, blair and everyone: on current form do you see us winning blackpool away?(I certainly don't). Surely if a team like blackpool did a double over us, is it not evidence enough for nesv that roy is crap and should be kicked out ASAP? No matter how low NESV's football IQ is(apparently), this must be the final straw if it were to happen
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
To be honest on current form we are probably the worse playing football team in the Premier League. I said a few weeks ago that i can't see us winning many games under Hodgson. The mindset i'm in at the momment when i watch a match i can't see past a draw. No matter who it is we are playing.

PS. I do have faith in NESV but it's so frustrating.

Good article about Villas Boas on the BBC Sport website today.
More and more people are becoming aware of his ability.
I hope are new board are aware of him and start working behind the scenes to get him installed as our new manager next summer.

If we arent going to be able to buy World Class players or certainly players that won't improve the team then i would rather not spend any money at all but start using young players more often. I would rather miss out on European football for a few years and build again than keep seeing us play the way we have been. Some of the players we have are awful. Shelvey, Pacheco, Suso, Ngoo, Sterling, Wilson and Wisdom are the future of the club so should start being intergrated into the 1st team. Who is to say that these young players arent going to be like the Man U players of the 90's (Becks, Scholes etc) Fergie had a core of good experienced players and filled the gaps with the youth. Our young players will never develop in Reserve games. We have to be careful with them but Gerrard, Owen and Carra were young when they broke in.

Honestly i don't think keisuke honda is the answer to our problems. if we were to sign him then we would be getting someone who honestly hasnt played in a big league, don't get me wrong the russian premier league is decent but cannot be compared to the epl. so we sign him and spend 10-15 million pounds, mayb even more. i just don't think that honda can help us. hes a good player with grreat talent and free-kicks. he produced on the big stage at the world cup. i think the answer to our problems (winger) lies with current epl players, some suggestions ( young, lennon, johnson and possibly walcott swap him with babel)

I posted yesterday and said i was starting to get angry with NESV. Like you say everyone knows that Hodgson is the problem (even NESV) but he is still there. Allardyce and Hughton were sacked by owners who know nothing about running a sports franchise. Yet still it looks like NESV will give Roy to the summer.

I'm not slating our owners as i think they will be good for us. But it's really frustrating to watch our club be dragged down and they seem to be dragging their heels on rectifying the problem (Hodgson).

Blair Mayne YNWA

PS. Mike Ashley would've sent Roy packing months ago
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Here what you are saying Blair, and i think we have both discussed our thoughts on Hodgeson's reign, so far, on this site. The problem I see it is there is no point jumping out the frying pan into the fire. I don't really know anyone at the moment, out there that is available, that I really want as manager. I wouldn't of minded Pellegrini (spelling) but as we know he has been rejected and I also have my reservations about Rijkarrd. I wouldn't want Pardrew myself and if we sacked Roy and appointed someone who is pretty much the same you can pretty much kiss any talent we have good bye. The next move we make has to be a good one, one that gets everyone motivated and upbeat. I would be happy to see King Kenny come in on a temp basis but I also understand everyone's reservations about this. I know towards the end I was kind of relieved Rafa went but I do think he did his arm with one arm tied behind his back. I thank him for sticking it out as managers like Moriniho would have walked well before it got to the stage it did under Rafa. If he wasn't so stubborn and had a better relationship with the players I think I would have him back but the last season, granted not as bad as this, I think he set the team out wrong and was stubborn to change it.

I know we don't know what NESV are going to be like but I hope that they are what they say they are and I hope we now see the quality we deserve come into the side and a manager who takes us back up to the top and gets us playing good, attractive and lucrative football. It's been far too long now.

Does any one else agree that our issues such as lack of tactica know how, positioning, effort and general football sense started before roy hodgson for me it al started with the re-appointment of sammy lee, we payed like this for raffas last 3-4 games christ remember hull away. i am all for sammy lee getting the boot.

I might not be liked for saying this but i think we should sell agger while we can still get the money for him . he turning out to be a harry kewel if you know what i mean playing only 10 - 15 games a week. a move out to a less physical league would be good for both him and the club and then from that money we sign a solid center back like mexes thoughts ed?

True Red {ed's note - I think we need to get rid of Skrtl and Kyrgiakos more than Agger.}

Mate it should have been the final straw losing to them at home. Roy is on borrowed time. Cant seeing it being long before FSG switch the life support off.

Our back 4 should be Johnson, Kelly, Ayala and Aurelio.

Johnson - great defensivly, shaking denfender but no doubt does a job for us.

Kelly - Much like Carragher he would be prepared to die for the shirt. We have why he is so highly thought of and could walk into most Premier League teams.

Ayala - Played a few times last season and looked solid, his loan move to Hull can only be good to get some much needed experiance.

Aurelio - I think we can all agree that LB is our most shaky area of the back 4 at the moment. We all saw how good Aurelio can be in the 08/ 09 season. I would like to see a LB brought in during the Summer. I see names like Contreao said alot on here and know he is a great LB but will we be able to afford him? He would be my first choice. What are your thoughts on our back 4 ed? Thanks

Im getting frustrated with ryan babel. he complains that he doesn't get enough chances to show what hes capable of but when he does like the match againtst utrecht he doesn't do anything. he expects us to pick him when he played terrible against utrecht. look every1 played bad in that game but most of that team are second string players who are never on the bench for epl games unlike babel. if he played like he did against aston villa then he could have a chance of making the team but one thing about babel is he has one good game and for a while he just terrible

OK mate, although in my defence I did not want Roy from the start, but was prepared to give the guy a chance.
I do like Roy as a person though and don't like a lot of the abuse he gets on here. He seems a desent, sincere bloke but is tactically flawed.

I have a couple thoughts. Just cause NESV havent sacked Hodgson does not mean you all should lose faith in them. They will get our beloved club on the right course. It took a few years with the Red Sox. And if you question their commitment to winning, they just paid 300 million for 2 players to be the foundation of the Sox for the next 7 years. Dont doubt the same will happen with LFC.

Secondly if all of you hate Roy now, how will you feel when he is Englands manager. Is it possible us Yonks will have a better manager in Bob Bradley?

In response to further humourless editorial arrogance questioning my ability to read, I am sure readers of this site will find it fascinating that having been unable to provide any trace of evidence regarding your claim to have contacts with Liverpool Football Club, and having been unable to respond to my questioning of the aforementioned mythological contacts in any other way, you resort to insults. Perhaps you should take the hint, retire with grace, and leave the debating to those who have a more than armchair interest in Liverpool Football Club and the English language. You had a good run, and convinced a few of the slower witted posters, but the joke is no longer amusing. Time to go I think, or to stop pretending, at the very least. Your charade has simply become degrading.

I would love to see adam johnson and sanchez on our wings with torres (on form ) up top with pacheco (see if he can live up to his rep with some much needed experience) this set up free flowing offensive football gerrard and meireless in the middle all on form with the mentality that says you score 1 we will score 3. sorry i think i was just dreaming isn't the reality torres being mardy and poor team has no sense of attack we don't have wingers and roy hodgson is in charge so we basicly settle for a draw or a loss as long as its not too embarasing. id much rather live in my dream land who is with me on this one, ed? anyone?
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Absolute dream buddy. And we could avoid conceding goals if we had a solid defence. Plus, Gerrard is a box to box midfielder as is Meireles so they'd get back if needed and do some defensive work.

With the right manager, great attacking football could be a much awaited reality. (Although I don't A.Johnson and A.Sanchez being on the wings for us could be a reality unfortunatly).

mate sod the defence we concede we go score 3 lol only messing obviously our defence needs sorting out as well but to be honest its not really my area i wouldn't know who to buy. true unfortunatly i can't see a.j or a.s on our wings and if they were hodgson would ruin them im sure. as a side not i have just watched hitler finds out roy is still manager on youtube if anyone hasnt seen it it is worth checking out

I don't think Ashley would have ever appointed him. Far too stable. And I can see what you mean Blair but we must remember they did not appoint him and if they came in and sacked him immediately they would have gotten bad press from a British media that is absolutely infatuated with British managers - even sub-standard ones like Roy or corrupt ones like 'Arry.

The British press have and never will do us any favours anyway Rapstar. But now is probably the best time for NESV to sack him because of our results and position in the league. So they have the excuse they need. They just seem to be dragging their heels in doing it.

After what happened to Allardyce and Hughton do you think it would be a big supprise if NESV sacked Roy in the next few weeks. I don't know but i bet that Hodgson is favourite in the bookies to get sacked along with Avram Grant.

Y do madrid need johnson?? they got ramos who is one of the best right backs in the world. if we were to consider a swap, well i say take it but surely the deal would be johnson plus some cash. how do we know what nesv are like. they could be making promises like hicks and gillett. only money we could get could be for useless signings.


our defence really needs a change (mexes, taiwo)
our central mid is alrite mayb banega if we wanna go defensive
we need new wingers (johnson, young, swap babel for walcott) just some suggestions, play cole sometimes, y r we paying him that much to sit on the bench
strikers any1 but ngog. look ngog is for the future but we need someone now to play with torres, weve been linked with like every striker (gomez, adebayor, cole, benzema

I think i read on here earlier that we had been linked with a possible move for sanchez is this true and if it is please please please let us get him but before we do get roy out so he doesn't drain the attacking flair out of him like he has with the rest of our players, i feel sorry for the youth players who played last all they wanted to do was go out and impress unfortunatly for them to impress hodgson you have to play to his tactics which keep players from looking or being good so in reality the stand out ones will be the ones who go against hodgson and therefore will be dropped. hes a moron sooner he is out the better surely all the fans negativity about him should be getting through to owners by now. i genuinly believed we had turned a corner against villa but on closer inspection villa were just terrible and tbh i think the players decided to just do what they wanted which might be why we looked good.

I don't just think it is a case of Roy Hodgson not being good enough or the right manager for LFC. I think there is also a complete disconnect with the guy and the fans.

Does anyone think that Roy has got LFC beating through his blood stream? Or that he actually gives a stuff for our club.

Gerrard was a fan before he took the job. Rafa fell in love with LFC and the city. Fans got that.

Everything before those two was a different LFC world.

With Roy it's a job offer he got very lucky with. He was seen as a safe pair of hands during a turbulent period.

And now he is being found out as simply not being up to the job of taking us forwards.

Let's face it, he is the next England manager and this is a job to keep him busy until the job becomes vacant.

In my humble opinion, anyone declaring their loyalty for Roy simply based on the fact that he is our manager is deluded.

His tactics are simply not good enough. Blame the players all you want but they are following the instructions and tactics of the manager, i.e they are shackled to his style of play.

What a surprise when some of them get hacked off with the idea, lose heart and want out.

The previous owners were just the top tier of the problem. Roy Hodgson is the next layer that needs sorting out. After that, the new manager needs to get the dead wood sorted in the squad.

You never know, we might even get to be a good side again. Coz let's face it, right now we're garbage.

Frenchy.

The squad we have now is good enough for a top 4 finish if used in the right way. To say how s* te we have been Blair were not that far of now. All we know is with Roy boy were not going to get the away points we need, last night sums him up a match that means nothing and he still sets the team up to defend. The guy is a tit and I can't believe people are still for him being manager. I knew after a couple of years of rafa that it would end in tears, when we came second the other year that was our title and he blew it.
