Following the events of last week, I really expected there to be some kind of bounce in the teams performance and yesterday at Goodison I was gobsmacked that we didn’t even give the Blues a game.
We all have our own opinions on what is wrong. Poor squad, lack of fitness etc etc etc. But lets not forget a few simple and easy facts. We have had one of the toughest starts to the season than ever before. A quick summary,
ARSENAL (1-1) – Draw, result accepted.
This team does not need introducing and we gave these lads a game. We could have won but for a Pepe c*ck up. From last season, this is a top 4 team and we came 7th so even if we had lost, then I would say it was acceptable.
MAN CITY (3-0) – Loss, result accepted.
They played their best game of the season so far and it was against us. I’m sure the presence of their boss (Mansour) had them all wound up and raring to go. I thought that regardless of the result, we gave these lads a game. But again, based upon our finishing position at the end of last season and the amount of investment Man City have made, to loose this match was also acceptable.
WEST BROM (1-0) – Win, result accepted.
We beat these guys. It wasn’t convincing but we got a win. But look at West Brom. This is the same team that has since turned over Arsenal and drew at Old Trafford. We expected a win, and got one but. I’ll tell you, Wenger and D**khead would much rather of had our result.
BIRMINGHAM (1-1) – Draw, result accepted.
We were lucky here but again, up until the other week, these guys had a fortress and to have got a win we would have had to of been exceptional. Even the Mancs or Man U haven’t turned these over at their own home ground.
MAN U (3-2) – Loss, result accepted.
What can I say. I thought we gave the lads a game also. But they are a stronger team and ended 5 positions above us at the end of last season so the result is a fair one.
SUNDERLAND (2-2) – Draw, result accepted
A couple of seasons ago we should have turned these over but we haven’t for a long time. These have always been a tough nut for us to crack, evenm at home. A draw is a fair result for us.
BLACKPOOL (1-2) – Loss, THE FIRST BAD RESULT
This is where the panic in the Leauge has started. We should have got a win from this, no questions asked. But we didn’t and we are worried. But remember when Burnley turned over Man U last season. There was not panic in the ranks at Old Trafford !!
EVERTON (2-0) – Loss, result acceptable
Folks, this is a Derby game, Even when we where champions of Europe the outcome of this game is still unpredictable. I’ve seen in the past a much stronger Liverpool team get turned over by these. That’s what it’s like having noisy neighbours across the park. We never take it for granted that we will beat these and guess what, yesterday we didn’t. Because we can never take it for granted, then I would say that this result, although painful as it is, is an acceptable one.
CONCLUSION
What really worried me yesterday was that I thought the players looked like they didn’t want to play for the manager. There was little passion, even from Carra and Gerrard. I really think that there is something wrong in the dressing woom. Yes, woom..... and I say that because I think our Woy is the problem.
Our squad has seen the last Manager leave Liverpool and go to the Champions of Europe, only to be replaced by another Manager that took Blackburn into relegation and specialises in keeping teams around the relegation zone. How can he possibly earn the respect from the players when he brings no credible achievements to the table for the players to admire? Honestly, his appointment has been a really bad move. The guy is too old and has achieved far too little for us.
SOLUTION
Based on the above, I think a new manager is the answer. We need someone who has passion and has achieved something in the past as a player or as a Manager. Someone who is strong enough and has a recent proven record to put on the table and turn us around. But the person I have in mind, is not who you think it is. I love King Kenny but he’s too old and been out of it for too long, sorry. Besides, I doubt half the foreign players had ever heard of him before the ever came to Merseyside, particularly the younger ones.
There is only one man I believe who ticks all the boxes and would save us and is available right now. And that it......

I said it before woy and I'll say it again. Martin Jol. Don't get me wrong there are better managers out there but would we realistically get them?

No think about it. Hodgson should never have been brought in. What worries me is he was brought in by Purslow and approved by Broughton and although we have new people in charge these two are still going to be making major decisions. It's clear that Hodgson isn't up to the task but I fear he'll be supported by those that brought him in.

I dunno lucas we dont know the post rbs constitution of the board and who makes these decisions, i think they did their best at the time I think we can take the political element out of manager selection with the new owners and that they will take advice and pick someone decent this time of course many of us were fooled by the fool hodgson and I thought he would be a good transition but only by way of sliding us into football oblivion; i cant imagine broughton purslow sticking by him too long poor roy has been a bit of a pawn in all this but he can laught to the bank now whatever happens

He certainly does lol. He was great at spurs he just had one bad start to a season when they sacked him. He has since been to Wolfsburg and Ajax and has been a majour success at both

Are you on drugs? None of the results have been acceptable! Even the games we have won we've been outplayed by the oppostion. The football is terrible to watch and the most worrying thing is that after yesterdays result Hodgeson thought we played well?! He seriously needs to higher his standards.
