KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum No faith in Roy

No, British!

I just think it's going to take more time for Roy to make a final formation for the team and get their tactics right. I don't know if he knows how each player works yet. I'm personally giving him a year, if by january he doesn't pick up his slack i don't see how he could manage Liverpool.

Dunk i totally agree with you on Roy.

Today's loss was all to do with game plan and player positioning by the coach rather then the player playing poorly. You can expect a player to play well in a system that he is not use to or doesn't suit the opponent.

We were very defensive for most of the game, almost conceding defeat or a draw at best. Man Utd as a result stretched us and went on attack. Most of the possession was in our half, and other then the 2 goals we scored in quick time, we looked like shot ducks for 90% of the game.

Despite getting Joe Cole on free transfer, which was more Stevie G's doing, Roy's purchases have been uninspired. I know that's not his fault totally, but there were cheap players that he could have jumped on a lot earlier then he did, that would have helped our squad today and in other games. For example a striker and winger that we missed out on due to not enough time in the window etc...

See what your saying Saud, my only real issue with it is that we didn't play quite well. We havn't played quite well in any premier league game. We have looked completely and utterly impotent. I cannot stand to hear our fans say otherwise. It is one thing to be behind the manager, team, players etc, which is great. But lying to ourselves will only make things worse. Wake up and smell the coffee. Black pool had a far superior attacking threat against chelsea, they played much better football. The two goals we got completley and utterly flattered us today. We didn't deserve them based on our play and it was 2 ridiculously stupid pieces of defending. We need to stop spouting [oops] and start realising Hodgeson has got us playing the worst football in the league at the moment. We have no attacking threat what so ever. I am not saying it is all down to him. I am just saying lets not kid ourslves.

this is how i feel and i dont care who doesn't agree with me. we have been as bad if not worse than last season, we have no formation or structure, playing unfit players, still not giving good youngsters a fair chance, the players not playing for the manager,fans or the shirt.

i know we've played some top teams in our 1st 5 games but we look lost and the worrying thing for me is i dont think city and utd were that good.

today we played what i think is close to our best 11 and we were crap and if we go and draw against sunderland or even worse lose and someone on here says its a good result then more fool you. i just hope this is as bad as our season gets because for me if it continues into the next 3 games roy should be man enough to walk away like what rafa should have done rather than dragging us fans lower and lower. yes the owners are appalling but that should not effect the team. the players and management team are getting paid so it time to deliver. think on, if this continues another 4 games thats a quarter of the season gone....

I think Roy is out of his depth here,but i`ll support him no matter what.The players looked like they had read the papers today and let the hicks thing get to them,i know it got to me.

load of boolllocks

this thread is a disgrace

I'm not happy at all with what i have seen so far.. But give Roy some time and he will land the results.. U must accept even after 3months in charge, Roy doesn't know his players well.. Once he discovers all the strengths and weaknesses of his players then he will see more professional approach by players.. 1 funny example is, it took 92 games for Berbacock to struck his first hat-trick for manure!!! So fergie is still learning about berba u see.. Let Roy learn about this team.. He needs our support.. So lets give him full support.. YNWA..

I haven't got on the Roy bandwagon and don't aim to as I think with all the siht happening at the Club the word 'stability' can't be used in the same sentence when talking of LFC - HOWEVER there are players performances or lack of them that are as plain as the nose on my face FFS how much time does anyone need to see that Maxi gives SFA to the team and the centre of defence needs to be sorted ASAP as hard as it is for the Club Carra has had his day and Skrtel is an accident waiting to happen, I haven't lost faith in Roy but my patience is wearing thin!!
