Post-mortem Northampton

[Leyton388]

So far he's rebuilded with Jones, Konchesky and Poulsen. There's only going to be more mediocrity on the way.

I've just did a little sick in my mouth!

[Maxiedge]

Its not a 2nd division side its a League 2 side which in old English is the 4th division!!!!

Oh thanks for cheering me up!!

[Tee]

I want Rafa back.

And I want to wake up every morning in bed with Cheryl Cole....

Rafa is out of the questin until new owners come in. Lets be honest, our only realistic option right now is Kenny. As has been said already, how the **** he was overlooked in the summer is just criminal, especially considering how desperate he was for the job as well.

A trophy would have lifted everyone's spirits. Its a bit **** to go out against a ****ing bottom division club.

[merlboo]

I couldn't care less tbh. Rafa didn't want to stay because of the Yanks and made his situation unworkable himself by finishing 7th and crashing out in the CL, compounded by buying a crock to replace Alonso - a player he pushed out the door.

If one manager leaves, another has to come in. I'm none the wiser as to who we interviewed for the job, but in a situation where the term could be until October, who in their right mind is going to apply for the job?

couldn't care less ?

and your judging him on one bad season and one questionable buy ...your not a geordie are you ?...

[BigChief]

In case anyone noticed the mighty Chelsea and Man City, each a billion pounds richer than us, both lost with their non-youngsters.

With no money to spend I'd like to see how you think we could sign top 4 class players.

When you walk
through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid
of the dark.

At the end of the storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver
Song of a lark.

Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams
Be tossed and blown.

Walk on
walk on
With hope in your hearts

I And you'll
never walk alone
You'll never walk alone.

Walk on
walk on
. . .

Against Premiership sides

[Lecter]

Yeah, it is just a bit.

5 games in the league. 3 against teams that will finish in the top 4. We've been very poor, but we've really just carried on the form of last season. Clubs like Newcastle sack managers after 6 games, for all the good it does them.

Yep, shocking. But as I said, its not like its a unique result in our history.

Nope, he probably shouldn't have been in an ideal world. But we're not living on one of those, our club is in a right mess, nobody with any sense would take over.... and as for kenny, well, he's not been in management for what, about a decade, putting romanticism aside just for one moment there is absolutely no guarantee whatsoever we'd be doing any better at all with him at the helm.

The thing is I could maybe accept the results if something was being shown on the pitch

But it isnt

We have looked a ****ing shambles under Roy, far worse than we were under Rafa. At least under Rafa we had organisation

As for Kenny yes he hasnt been in management for over a decade but by the looks of things you could also say the same about Roy!!

To me you are either a tactical genius or a man-motivator

Which does Roy fall in because I'm struggling to see him in either camp

There is totaly apathy (at best) towards Roy and his management, its filtering down from the stands. The football we are playing under Roy is insipid and lacking organisation

Kenny for me whilst he may have been out of the game for a long time he would have galvanised the support behind him and he would have gotten a HUGE amount of goodwill in the event of things going wrong

He also wouldnt have licked the arse of Fergie after the match on Sunday

[JohnDoe]

This man can save us

[Chazza]

Anyone advise on what formation we went in with tonight?

Did he go 442 and play Pacheco on the right or 4411 with Babel wide and Pacheco in behind?

[ronanm]

Bit simplistic, there's more to it than that. They're youngsters who need managing and guidance. They SHOULD be good enough to beat Northampton.

FFS - Sack Roy, "he's got another 5 games", Rafa would do better etc. SHOULD they be good enough to beat Northampton? How many Liverpool youngsters have come through in the last 5 years? Where are those that are now "of age" plying their trade?Rafa had £38m and he blew it on GJ and Aqualiani. How much has Hodgo had to spend this transfer window trying to right those wrongs? We have Cole, Raul, Konchesky (yes, even him) and Poulsen -more astute signings than King Benitez made in the past few years. He can't win. I give him 12 months, not 6 weeks FFS!!!

Haha -

Top post, if erring slightly on the side of understatement!

Which makes tonight's result even ****ing worse. We could have had a chance with those two out.
