Liverpoo 1 Blackpool 2

i think hodgson will be out by the end of october!

make that the 6th of october!

Liverpool have never sacked a manager mid-season so if they were to with Roy it would indicate

1) How bad things have really got
2) How little the owners know/care about LFC

Begs the question, did Benitez overachieve??

 

[FFF]

The way things are going, we might be playing Liverpool at The Amex next season.

i think Roy might have to drop Torres and half the other prima donnas and get in youth/reserves who have a bit of passion to stablise the situation.

Would that be the youth/reserves that got turned over by Northampton the other week ?

yes but the bankers effectively have a controlling interest in the club and will therefore be more impatient than even the current owners.

also this must be Liverpools worse start to a season since when?

I think they said on ssn the last time they had a start this bad they were relegated. (1954, I think)

He got funds from selling players

Thing is everything he did was pointless. He's buy a stirker one summer, keep him for a season, sell him for a slightly smaller amount and buy a striker of similar ability. Bellamy, Crouch, Keane etc. He signed hundreds of players and the vast majority of them were utter dross, and totally unnecessary. Hodgson probably hasn't done the best with what he has there, but what he has, what he was left with, is miserable rubbish. And that's down to Benitez.

But when players weren't doing the business all he could do is sell them and use that £ to sign someone else, so a big circle of mediocrity

I'm not really convinced that's true.

He didn't have to sign a new pair of fullbacks every year who were no better than what he had before. And when he did have a significant sum to spend, having lost Alonso, he signed Johnson and Aquilani for huge fees. Obviously Aquilani was a total flop, Johnson is a decent player but spending £18m on a rightback when he only had one striker and no midfield.

The root problem at Liverpool is the debt and the Americans who gave it to them, but Benitez was a bit crap too (and so has Hodgson been so far).

This makes for some HILARIO reading, its gone absolutely nuclear. Honestly, my heart is almost bleeding for them.

"Anything less than a point against Everton and it's time for Kenny to step up."

that would mean CERTAIN relegation...just like Shearer

 

[Easy 10]

There is absolutely no justification anymore as to why Hodgson should be in this job and should be sacked immediately. Forget the bollocks of 'who would we get to replace him' we would be better having the players manage themselves.

Hodgson has managed to bring a period of pure outright embarrasement to LFC during his short reign and it surely can not be allowed to continue. He can not handle the squad and his tactics are dogshit. If we keep him here we WILL be relegated.

As much as it pains I don't think I can watch another match while we have this Alex Ferguson puppet at the helm.

KABOOOOM !

"Jesus. Just got home, cant believe he hasnt resigned yet.

Really weird saying this, but hopefully we'll lose the derby and he'll get the boot."

this guy WANTS to lose a derby match!?! braindead!

Too right as well

 

[merseyparadise]

The result has raised a few chuckles on this side of the Mersey.

Blackpool used to have a rivalry with us, how things change.

Out of interest, why the f*** do you care about our 'mighty' neighbours?

 

[Agent_Torpor]

Im sure its worse then under Souness

Too bad Houllier's not around to resuscitate them. That guy never got the full credit he deserved for getting the best out of those *****.

Oh well.
