Hodgeson leaves Liverpool

[beorhthelm]

Roy had f*** all to work with, at least at Fulham he had some decent players to be getting on and tick things over where Roy could get the best.

N'Gog, yes. He's going to get you in to the Champions League isn't he... Relying on Torres, Gerrard and Reina too much.

i really dont follow this line of thought with Liverpool. nearly everyone of their first team is a first team international. play this game for yourself: compare man for man, postion for position, who you'd have from the Fulham first XI over the Liverpool first XI. bearing in mind Zamora is Fulham first striker, so replacement to Torres, Murphy to Gerrard, Dempsey to Kuyt.

for me, only Hangeland would make it as a direct replacement. no the Liverpool squad isnt great (Ngog clearly isnt up to it and been given plenty of oppurtunity) but the first team should be better than they are, with or without Torres and Gerrard. half the problem seems the team mentally are too reliant on those two and Hodgson (or Benitez for that matter) couldn't convince the others they could do better.

Gerrard has carried that side for his entire career. What they will do when he wanes and fades who knows (resurrect Rush and Dalgliesh from the dead again!!!!!)

Scousers all of a tizzy... http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-news//tm_headline=kenny-dalglish-is-liverpool-fc-manager-as-roy-hodgson-leaves-by-mutual-consent%26method=full%26objectid=27952532%26siteid=100252-name_page.html

http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/mult...lglish-replacing-roy-hodgson-100252-27952916/ Video is hysterical in their lack of reality and wishful thinking.

I thought the slide started with Dagliesh when he resigned as manager leaving them with an ageing team who were clearly past their peak. No-one since has managed to invest or talent spot sufficiently. for those who say Liverpool are/were the most successful english club side - yes they were but their last championship was along time ago. You might as well point out how successful Huddersfield Town were in the 1920s, for all the relevance Liverpool's past success has to their latter day comparative failures.

Huddersfield won....what? Prick.

The squad that Rafa left behind was rubbish compared to the great Liverpool teams of the past, if Roy had been given time and cash to build his own team it could well have been a different story.
Appointing Dalgliesh who has been out of management for some years seems to be a desperate measure and unlikely to succeed.

Oh dear. Another Liverpool 'fan'.

Is it worth revisiting this discussion (and Liverpool Dalglish - in the other stuff section) given Liverpool's start to the season so far?

Today's game against liverpool isn't finished yet and it may be turned around in the second half, but their biggest success this year would be the win v Arsenal, and that's not exactly the achievement this year that it would be in the past. Even Blackburn have beaten Arsenal!

After 4 games they are already 5 points behind the leaders (could be 8 points behind by the end of the day). Questions have been raised about the money sent on players.

KD has spoken of taking grievances to the FA over refereeing decisions after losing to stoke with people questioning if the pressure was getting to him. Liverpool only managed a draw against sunderland who sit second from bottom at the moment.

If Arsenal weren't imploding more spectacularly, would there be even more focus on Liverpool?

I'm not saying it's a disaster at the moment, but they are not looking like returning to the top four place they might consider rightfully theirs any time soon, how long will their fans or owners be happy with that?
