Roy Hodgson is an uneducated dinosaur, says Raymond Verheijen on the Raheem Sterling club vs country row

Roy Hodgson has been branded incompetent as the fallout from his comments over Raheem Sterling’s fitness continues.

Liverpool are not being drawn into a tit-for-tat exchange with Hodgson but Raymond Verheijen, the Dutch fitness coach who has worked closely with Guus Hiddink, waded into the furore with a withering condemnation of Hodgson’s approach

Verheijen, who has been outspoken against English clubs in the past, leapt to the defence of Rodgers’ handling of Sterling and Daniel Sturridge, after Hodgson had claimed there was nothing to support Liverpool’s preference of giving some of their players two recovery days.

‘Another shocking example of why English managers are becoming extinct is Hodgson,’ said Verheijen.

‘His incompetence must be frustrating for educated managers like Rodgers who travelled the world.

‘According to Hodgson, there is no evidence that certain players (Sterling/Sturridge) need longer recovery time compared to other players. Firstly, 19-year-old players do not have a fully matured body yet. So for them the game demands are higher and will develop much more fatigue.

‘Secondly, Sterling is not only a young but also an explosive player. They have many fast muscle fibres compared to less explosive players. Young players who develop more fatigue during the game need longer time to get rid of this fatigue otherwise they accumulate fatigue in body.

‘If explosive players do not get extra recovery time and are treated in the same way as other players, they accumulate fatigue. Thirdly accumulation of fatigue due to insufficient recovery makes the nervous system slower. That is why players like Sterling need longer to recover.’

Don't think there's out wrong with what Roy has said to be honest - he's right to questions Brendan's methods too...I mean at least Roy's team can keep a clean sheet!

Raymond Verwhatshisface must have deleted loads of those tweets cos they aren't on his time line anymore.

He got his deal with Mephistopheles wrong and forgot the unlimited knowledge bit.

Every article gets me more annoyed. It will baffle me forever how this cunt of a man and truly dreadful manager has come and got what the media consider 2 of the 3 biggest jobs in English football. And shock horror he's made a complete mess of both of them, who could have predicted that?!

I'm not sure I'd even wish him on Man Utd anymore, I loathe them but he's a spineless fraud who sucks the joy out of everything he touches, I wouldnt wish him on any kids going to their first games even if they are Mancs. A 67 year old man who will happily hide behind a 19 year old lad to protect himself. But we've seen that before after the Northampton game.

In about 6 months at the club as our manager he showed more disrespect and disdain for our fans and club than Ferguson a manager of our fierce rivals did in about 20 years! And he's still doing it now. I've lost count of the amount of times he's had to apologise for being an offensive prick, was only the Gerrard and Rooney thing the other day, the "Since I came here the famous Anfield support hasn't been here" "I want the fans to become supporters" after 42k turned up after xmas in the freezing cold to watch us get outclassed on our own pitch by bottom of the league Wolverhampton ****ing Wanderers and loads of other examples.

The worst though is how negligent he is of his players, he doesn't seem to give a **** about mental or physical condition, a 19 year old lad thrown under a bus so he could protect himself (Just how hapless England were v Estonia seems long forgotten already, it was a set up before the game to protect himself incase it happened and it did), Daniel Sturridge complains of an injury so gets played for 90mins in a meaningless friendly days later to "test his resolve", then came the "They are better getting injured now” line. Incredible. Arrogant, self serving scumbag who just refuses to adapt his methods despite glaring medical evidence. There must be people advising him differently aswell surely but we've seen first hand just how arrogant and stuck in his ways this man is so it wouldn't be a surprise if it was going in one ear and straight out of the other. He's poison, negligent and a disease on this sport. I despise him more than I've ever despised anyone in football.

A complete and utter scumbag of an individual. His non-sacking after the summer, despite other coaches falling on their swords, only increases his delusion.
He honestly believes he is untouchable.

**** sake.

[captainfog]

You could easily say that our English players have started slowly because of the **** summer they had with Woy.

Sick of seeing this cunt portrayed as a silly old uncle but a nice man.

He is a lowlife cunt that has conned folk for years.

A question was put to Hodgson, the equivalent to teeing up an easy volley into the top corner.

“Who would you say are your greatest influences as a coach, Roy?”

A matter of inches away was a portrait of Bill Shankly, alongside another of Bob Paisley and Joe Fagan. The ears of those Liverpool Gods must have been pricked as they awaited the response.

Hodgson paused.

“Don Howe,” he said.
