Liverpool vs Northampton: Build Up and Match thread

[Exiled_red]

Offal saying that Sammy Lee is effectively in charge. Hodgson not taking much interest and not getting involved in any team talk

WTF???

[Kenneth]

To be fair, we want the kids to be given a chance, but it's a risky tactic

[CJ]

can only go on what steve hunter and phil neal are reporting.

which tv channel is it on?

was on sky sports news maybe hd lol

but they showed roy on the pitch with players around him and his shoulders wet

Isn't the problem that too many of them don't seem to be interested in taking - or able to take - that chance?!

[BigChief]

Where the **** is Shelvey? Too attack minded for you, Roy?

Have to admit, I've been in Roy's court up to now but if his early signs show he's another Houllier/Rafa in his central midfield selection then yes we will be fooked. However, it is early days - maybe he's making sure Lucas and Spearing understand when they are firmly booted out the door!

[Gibbo]

10 odd games into his reign? That must be a record.

We're ****ed aren't we?

Yes.

[Philosophia]

While I understand how terribly embarrassing/depressing this is, is it a reflection on Roy, or one the quality of our squad, or both?

[Leyton388]

Hodgson isn't even doing the team talk to get them going for extra time.

He's left that to Sammy. Roy didn't even talk to them at all, apparenttly

[Exiled_red]

1-2 Northampton

[Lecter]

Hodgson not taking much interest and not getting involved in any team talk

Is this a summary of his term so far

[CJ]

but i saw on tv him talking to the team.

[Leyton388]

Mate we are Liverpool FC and we are being played off the park by Northampton at home. He is a **** manager and isn't even doing the team talk before extra time.

In fairness, if he is selecting a reserve side to play a League 2 team that midfield should be plenty good enough.

Looks like some of the players I thought had a chance are nowhere near the level I thought they were.

[Rich]

So if the match kicks off on LFC.tv at 10.30pm, I make it 12.45am before the match finishes at the earliest

Spot on. If Pacheco wasn't going to take games like tonight seriously then maybe he needs to ply his trade elsewhere. We all know Spearing and Lucas are epic fails at Liverpool so hopefully tonight was both players' last serious game with us.
