Appointing Roy - A huge mistake

[Slinky Skills]

You say it's the same negative posters and all that, but I bet a lot of the people not happy with Hodgson are those who resolutely stuck behind Benitez

. Me for one, and I'm generally anything but miserable and negative (or a **** either for that matter ).

I'm by no means writing Hodgson off and will of course give him time, but SO FAR I've seen absolutely nothing from him that inspires me, and makes me believe he will do a good job.

I hope I'm 100% wrong I really do.

Plus, I bet a lot of the same people moaning about others writing Hodgson off after 5 minutes, are also writing Jovanovic off after the same amount of time. I can name at least one person who is doing so.

We're all ****ing hypocrites I guess is what I'm trying to say

For me though Reece the negative posters are the ones who don't stand by manager whoever he may be whether it's Hodgson or Bentiez or Houllier, whoever. No one's ever happy, no wonder the club's a mess with so much negativity around.

I don't mind if people are willing to give Hodgson a chance but the people that aren't need to take a look at themselves. Some of the stuff that's been written it's as though it's the end of the world when it's not, ****ing pisses me off.

Our fans would be far better off challenging their energy into backing the team especially during difficult times such as this, and also as the future is so uncertain.

It just annoys me to see people having a pop at Roy and he's not even had any real opportunity to have any influence of the side just yet.

I really hope Roy does improve things as based on current performances we'll be lucky to make the top half let alone 4th. He wasn't my first choice to replace Rafa, infact I would have rather kept Rafa for one more season. But at the end of the day he is now in charge and we need to get behind him and the team.

At the minute I don't see anything better than last season, still playing the two defensive midfielders, very little creativity, what worries me the most is that we can't seem to gain any control and against better teams it will cost us.

What was it Roy said judge me after ten league games, well he's got six more to get some improvement out of the team. I've got to admit I'm looking forward to the Roy can do no wrong army against the rest.

It's like watching Rafa's team on a bad day with worse subs, less imagination and I've still got to watch the worst RB in the PL, Glen Johnson, play for us.

Roy is going to destroy this club. Houllier and Rafa did a good job of ruining the team and Roy isn't going to finish it off. It's not about the owners, the money or a stadium, it's all about consistently sh*t management of players and player funds from the minute Kenny left.

Why didn't he try Babel or Dani against Carr? Utter nonsense.

I really don't enjoy LFC any more.

There isn't much I can say about this thread that hasn't already been said, so I won't get into it, but one thing I can't understand is what is your problem with Glen Johnson - 'the worst RB' in the league' that statement is complete bollocks, and I reckon even you yourself should know that if you know anything about football, sure Johno isn't the most solid defensively but he is a good player. This season granted he's had some problems, he's looked a little slow and looks like he's not concentrating on his football as much as he maybe should be but there is no reason at all to give him that tag. He is a top player and IMO one of the stars of our football club.

Torres looked a little out of sorts against Birmingham, almost as if he didn't want to be there, you going to start calling him the worst striker in the world? utter bollocks.

I, Like you am a little bit fed up with the way our club is being run at the moment, but its not Roy's fault, once the two complete arseholes that are running our club have departed we will be able to start a re-building process, until then we will have to make do with what we've got. If you don't like it why don't you go support the scum or the chavs? we might not play beautiful football at the minute, but if your willing to slate into our manager after having next to no time to prove himself then maybe you should support someone else. I will judge Roy at the end of the season, until then my full faith is in him and always will be. Sure I will get pissed off when results don't go our way or if he doesn't make a decision that seems obvious, but at the end of the day Roy must know what he's doing or they wouldn't have hired him, and he woudn't have took a very standard team to the Eurpoa league final.

Surely the motto You Will Never Walk Alone should apply to Roy to, through thick and thin he is our manager and we need to support him as much as possible.

is the right answer.

You are a **** Reece, we all are. The world is one big ****fest and its great.

Why are people saying posters are negative if we don't think Hodgson will do a job for us........it's a ****ing opinion and thats what people are allowed. Hodgson will not do it for the reds. I never want anything relating to Liverpool to fail but it happens and sadly it will with Hodgson. C'mon Hodgson prove me and lots of others wrong, but I doubt it. Lets see what happens on Thursday he has a full(ish) squad to pick from.

bollocks to thursday, half of the players will be rested.

Why are you negative? You've just written Hodgson will never do 'it' for the reds, whatever 'it' actually is.

I do find it bewildering that people are writing Roy off already, we're 4 games into a very tough opening to the season - a side that from last season is struggling for confidence, a complete nightmare with the ownership issues and no chance for Roy to actually put the players he sees as his 1st 11 on the pitch together yet (Merieles, Cole, Kuyt) saying he's going to fail already is for my part jumping the gun a bit - I'll remind you of Rafa's first season in the league, it wasn't great but he turned it around - he needs time and some patience from us fans come May if it's not worked then it's not worked but I we're not exactly a club that top managers out there are currently clambering to manage.

I agree about Reece of course.

Re. his original statement, the opposite is also true - it seems to me that many of those who were most critical of Benitez are the most ardent supporters of Hodgson.

Echoing Reece the ****'s point, it's hard to know what their/your optimism is based on, apart from the fact he's not Benitez.

[Shaggy]

I think it's based on Fulham's 12th placed finish last season.

We all knew what we were getting with Roy, not sure why anyone expects anything different. He's similar to Rafa, just not as good. It's going to take him a good few weeks to get the team playing as a unit, don't expect free flowing, easy on the eye football, it'll be be more a team full of grafters rather than guile. Away games will be about not losing, being hard to break down and hoping Gerrard or Torres can nick us a win. It'll take us a few weeks to get to that stage, until then we can expect a few losses here and there. Get used to it.

[Fredo]

Maybe it's because he is English and there is an assumption that we will be more successful with English managers.

Why though? I struggle to think of many great English managers in recent years, there are a few good ones but very few are top class.

I don't know, we should ask the people who seem to be agreeing with this, such as the ones calling for an Englishman to replace Capello. I've had a look at the possible candidates and I've not been surprised to see Hodgson as high on that list. Would he earn that post on merit alone? Of course no, but he's English.
