Dont make a blind bit of difference all it will say is Roy Hodgson has kept Liverpool in with a shout of a champions league place as we enter the final weeks of November.

All depends on away tho, that's where I can't are us doing well, he's won 13 away games since he managed in the prem! One in 442 days! Think where hoping for a lot tbth

Yes we may be 9 points from top spot but we have played sh1t football every game this season and the sides who are above us win games playing entertaining football and attack sides....As I've said many times, i don't think fans would screaming for Roys head if he attacked sides that we should beat (on paper) and had a go at sides when playing away....fact is he gets the team to play defensive crap and has done since he's been here. We have not controlled one game this season (except maybe West Ham) even when we beat Chelsea we scored from our limited opportunities and they couldn't hit a f*cking barn door that game if they tried!

Mate, you make it sound like 9 points from top before the end of November in a season where United are poor and Chelsea are struggling with their manager is an admirable effort for Liverpool. Somehow you had lofty expectations for Rafa, but have none for Roy? You should go see a doctor, because you are clearly schizophrenic. Otherwise you simply have double standards, and should therefore simply be ignored because your opinion is worthless.

your catching on thunder

I begin to wonder if this is a similar situation to the way the press treat Roy

because he is English he deserves more time and because Rafa was foreign he got hounded every mistake he makes

People expected us to challenge for the title last year, but without adding to the squad we already had, that was never going to happen. We replaced what we sold, 38 mil out for 38in. No money was given to him to expand the squad
he simply brought in 3players for 3players that had gone, the squad size was still the same and we where still short of the players we needed to finish 1st.

People can say why didn't he use the 38 mill better. 30 of it was for alonso, would people of rather him spend it on maybe four 9million players or buy someone (altho be it aquilani isn't or even similar to alonso) who's at the upper end of the Market. If rafa did buy 4 players at 9 mill he'd of got four players which only one might of turned out to be class, the other 3 he'd of got stick for, but this is what I don't get with people.

While the likes of man u, chelsea spend 18-25 mill on a player whol warm the bench there's a massive difference from a 5-10 mill player on your bench. The strength in depth in value aswell as class is all there to see. Look at our striking options we had, torres, then who?

Voronin - free
ngog- 1.5

Chelsea and man u had drogba, Rooney, followed by anelka, berbatov and teves

same goes for every position in there squads compared to ours

You can only play the football with the players you have and when you have a team with a backbone of Carragher and Skirtel no goals there, a midfielder like Lucas no goals there and two wide midfield players in Kuyt and Maxi who have no goals in them and are the slowest wide men in the league then your not going to look exciting or score plenty of goals, even your main man up front Torres does'nt want to know. Thats why I say judge Hodgson when he has been given serious funds and time to turn the way we play around, which he will get in the summer transfer window.

Bla bla bla bla

dirk kuyt never got 15 goals season before last and never did before that did he

maxis not in his most productive form since he's been here is he.

Torres hasn't had a productive season has he, he's not a say in almost all of our goals scored?

Think the answer your looking for is, if you play the football Roy hodgeson is making our players play then there not going to be performing like a top six side

Please tell me your not blaming Hodgson again, thought we agreed it was the players who have let the manager down afterall it was you who said you dont Blame Benitez for losing against Reading because the players let him down and he done the right thing by playing his best team, So going on what you said Hodgson has played his best team and lost some games so it cant be his fault either. Listen little boy if your going to make statements either stick to them or try and cover yourself that way you wont look as completely ridiculous as you are already. Please, please post more replies or posts as me and my mates are pi*sing ourselves laughing at your posts.
