KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Is The Clock Ticking For Roy

Just wondering what the concensus of opinion is.

I like his honesty but results have been far from acceptable so far. The style of play is not great at the moment and shows no real sign of improvement. He hasn't got the players to any sort of level yet and as things stand we are closer to the drop than the top.

Is he the man for the job, does he just need a bit of time or do you think the board would contemplate a change already, especially with O'Neill kicking his heels at home, waiting for call.

Give him time is what I think. We've have never been a club for sacking managers in a knee jerk reaction. His needs time to build his team, his way of playing and his needs time to get the players over last seasons nightmare. The players also need time after last seasons nightmare. Then theres the ownership situ which is helping no one.

Roy faces an almost impossible task the least we can do is give him the courtesy and decency of allowing him a full crack at it, with our support and not calling for his head everytime something goes wrong.

I agree with your sentiment Whiskey, but given a real choice Roy wouldn't be anywhere near us!

I agree to a certain degree yes, i disgaree with the whole "getting over last season" thing, thats done with and im sorry it doesn't wash with me, terrible excuse.

I think he needs time to get them playing how he wants then we'll judge it, you never know... he could be the man to bring back the silverware, just not immediat like alot expect.

Or... this could be the best it will get with him and he just isn't good enough, but i think it would be VERY harsh to judge him yet.

Well he has a decent run at teams we should beat i think by Xmas we should have more of an idea.

But unlike previous seasons we don't have the time to let things gel. We need to be in Europe and better than 7th at the moment that not even close !!!

I just hope roy learns for his mistakes. I think he's got just about every single game wrong so far tacticly.
I agree tho there isnt much time, if any, for things to gel.

We can't just keep giving managers one season, he's been given the job cus the board think he's good enough to get us back to at least 4th position. At present we don't look nothing like a top 4 side. We've been poor in every game we've played this season, he picks the team he picks the tactics, and you can only blame so much on the performances. The tactics and football where playing is abysmal and that comes from the top.

He's got two games coming up at home failure to win these and the pressure is reaching boiling point. I personally don't think he's good enough and the negative restricting tactics (more so than raga) is having a bad effect on the teams performance

I wonder if it was the away support saying he should be sacked in the morning or the Liverpool fans. I wonder what the reaction was after the game was as well.

Some good points there , I still really admire the way he's handling the media and the way he admitted his shortcomings for the Northampton game , Rafa wouldn't have done that.

We have to give the fella a season , but maybe he should turn to Kenny for some help n advice. It can't hurt.

why should he ask for advice, if he needs advice it shows his short comings as a manager and that he defo shouldn't be manager. Your talking about a manager who's had 30 year managerial experience he shouldn't need advice. Also if I was kenny I wouldn't give him any considering they wanted him over kenny
