thought it was decent game in parts but with Torres a bit hit and miss at the moment we might as well be playing with 10 men. Im sure he's hit the goal trail soon, hopefully against Blackpool on sunday!

Sorry but I can't agree with this analysis. Devoid of any creativity again, it wasn't decent in parts. We were awful. We can pass on the half way line and no further. Hodgson keeps showing how incompetent he is by playing wingers tht cut inside every time, congesting the middle, meaning no room for torres to receive the ball. Also playing players in wrong positions again. Defending was poor on a number of occaisions. There is no progress. Roy every game just keeps showing how tactically inept he is at a big club, by the time hes done we won't be a big club, could u trust this man to spend what little money we have?

Yeah i agree with you saying we passed the ball in midfield. Couple of questions for you please, if Torres was fireing and scoring do you think we'd be ok and also do you not think Roy just needs time to get the team playing?

It's all hodgson's fault, when you try something a bit different i.e meireles on the right and it doesn't work, as a manager you have to see it and change it but he just sat back and watched the game just go on and watched nothing happen at all. Johnjo and Pacheco should have been on the bench hodgson is fast losing the trust i had in him.

You cannot expect one player to carry a team, sometimes they do, that is why you spend big money for special players, for the special moments. But you cannot expect it. You cannot expect Torres to make a goal or two for himself out of nothing every single game. He made the last 4 goals out of nothing. But with the style of play due to the manager, players being played in wrong position, lack of balance, there is no creativity, no space being created for Nando. If you give him chances he will score a few of them, he's that good. But at the moment, you could put any striker/forward in the world up front for as at the moment and he wouldnt score cause of how the team is being played behind him.

To your other question, I am normally a firm believer of giving a player or manager time. Example, I think Aquilani should have been given some time. But sometimes you have to open up your eyes and say, it's all well good giving some people time, but this guy is just getting it so wrong and it won't change enough, or quick enough to be where you want to be. Case in point, Ramos at spurs. We had a bad season last season, but most of the time we played some football. We are playing the worst football in the league under Roy and making no chances. He is showing himself to have absolutely no clue.

Point taken guys. Im gonna give him till the new year at least then if things arent any better maybe we should consider changing him. I know its not the Liverpool way but we have to get the right guy in.

Pundits keep say 'Liverpool's best chance of winning a trophy this season (Europa Cup)' - they must be f u c king joking! To say we looked ordinary tonight is an under statement - lack of firepower is one thing BUT lack of creativity is a major problem. we are lacking 'Joe Confidence' and also have too many average players on the park - Lucas and Poulsen words just defy me so I won't add further barrage of comments.

The formation is all kaput we must play with two strikers and give Torres the support he is in desperate need of. On paper a good result on the pitch another below par performance (can't wait to hear the poilitician's version).

I am afraid if we don't get new owners soon and then bring in at least 2-3 players in January then we will not be in Europe at all next uear.

Inspirational moment in the game? Maxi coming on in second half - FFS!!!

It won't get any better under this regime.owners,manager and players all included.the players who are good enough don't look interested and the manager is clearly not up to the job.there has'nt beem one decent performance since he took over and he has no idea how to turn it round.we are awful at the back,have no width,no pace or creativity and worst of all no passion.not good enough.

I just read the BS on the LFC site and I'm getting worried not by the performance but by the man himself. I dread that roy is a nice guy but total loser syndrome. As someone said on the site I just hope that away from the press he is giving them a rollicking. He was far too optimistic about hte performance and in particular i was annoyed about him saying that miereles was suited in that position. Even a lobotomised monkey knows that half of the lfc is playing out of position its got to stop Hodgson We have a squad of 40 odd I swear, and you play about 5 or 6 of them out of position to accomodate that poulson . That really does my cannister hodgson

Cannot bring myself to read his post game comments. It makes me so angry, to see the BS that comes out of him. He doesn't deserve to manage Liverpool FC. He needs to stand up and admit he has not made any progress yet, or at the very least stop blatantly lying to everyone and saying he is.
