Is Hodgson the right man for LFC

[alunevans]

I don't like the bloke, but look at the immediate impact Harry Redknapp had at a Spurs squad that was on its knees after Ramos. I think we all hoped for something similair from Roy, after all the talk of the cold Benitez approach, and the reported fuzzy warm Grandad Roy approach which, as said in the article, was supposed to inspire our precious squad.

Bollocks.

I just can't see Roy turning this around, its just too much. His signings are as uninspiring as his tactics (Konchesky, Jones and Pulsen - I can't imagine Cole, Meireles, Wilson and Shelvey had anything to do with him).

I hate the parallels with Newcastle, and I would hate to see Kenny's legacy being tainted by the ****e being served up just now, but SURELY it couldn't be any worse.

Its very unfair in my view to pick out those that look like good signings made under RH and just state that they cant be anything to do with Hodgson, even though he signed them.

He is fast becoming an embarrassment is old Roy. His early fighting talk before the season got under way has given way to talking about "no easy games even at home" - what utter bollocks. Even if you think it, as Liverpool manager you don't say it in post match interviews. This dumbing down of expectation and scaling back on ambition can only be benfitting him to give himself some breathing space.

**** off Roy. Nobody thinks of drawing with Sunderland as finishing any week on a high. We should be attacking to win 3-0.

Shows the man's small time mentality. utterly embarassing. Cringeworthy.

I see your point, but I'm just going by the times the signings were announced and the likelihoods of Hodgson being involved. Wilson and Shelvey were clearly before he joined, Meireles seems more like a player scouted by the club long term with a view to replacing Mascherano / Alonso and Joe Cole - ok could well have been him, but he doesn't seem to fit with the team the way its being layed out by the manager.

Hodgson still pushed the button on these.

I am not sure about Merieles, I think its clear to all tht Hodgson doesnt really know much about him though.....hence his comments of not knowing wheere to play him

[hamshanks]

yeah that's right get rid of another manager, that'll make thing oh so better. It's like you lot are following a script written by Newcastle. The last thing we should do now is create even more instability

I remember him saying that he'd been following his progress while he was back at fulham though. Theres enough to genuinely criticise without giving him no credit for anything.

[Daniel 7]

Which one? Meireles? Shelvey? Cole? Shelvey was hardly a secret, neither was Joe Cole! he doens't have a clue about Meireles!

[Craig_H]

If it was up to me I'd sack him now and bring in Kenny ASAP. Kenny will not do worse and IMO he would bring a bit of positivity to the table - the "be careful guys we are playing X and they are probably better than you lot". I can say with 90% certainty that things will not improve on the field under Roy, we have seen enough to predict how things will be.

I'd love to see Kenny in the role.

I've no idea if he could do it, but i still want him given the chance - that's how little i rate Roy.

[Craig_H]

I am not saying anything is progress. I'm predicting where we'll be at the end of the season which is a better place to judge than 6 games in.

It's also too late.

[ralpal]

wow, 70% want Roy gone!!!!

tbh I never wanted him in the first place. He was hardly a trade up from Rafa. One poor season did not make Rafa a poor manager. I miss him.

Really? massively disagree there pal. I would rather create more instability than see this once great club nosedive with Roy at the helm

I am following the script of following Liverpool football club, you know LIVERPOOL FC, a name that should strike fear into the hearts of opponents......a ground that when opponnts see the 'this is anfield' should **** bricks.

Ok we are not in a good place and cunt and cuntier are ****ing us over big time, but i refuse to believe and will always refuse to believe that a point against Sunderland is finishing on a high!!!!

You might be happy to see Hodgson talk about us like we are some mid to lower league team but i am livid, ****ing fuming to see us go out in such a defensive manner and be happy for draws. Sometimes a manager for whatever reason doesnt fit with the club and i am affraid I have that feeling for Hodgson allready.

We are still a huge club and I think Hodgson has made more gaffes in talking to the media than Benitez, Daglish, Houiller, Evans and Souness combined he just 'doesn't get it' Every time he opens his mouth I cringe and our club slips into mediocrity.

We need a manager to kick ass. THis group of players in a way remind me of the england team.......you know the quality is there and you know a good manager would get so much more out of the team.

Sorry it isn't happening with Roy, fine give him a few more games, give him till christmas but i am affraid I just see us going further and further down with Roy in charge.

Sack Roy, Give Kenny the job till the takeover and re-assess from there.

Some young hungry managr wouldn't be a bad idea. No i dear who like lol.

It would just be like rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic.

New owners will get their own man in, so I see no valid reason to bring anyone else in until the ownership situation is resolved.

The only person I would consider giving it until then is Kenny in a caretakers role. But such is Kennys popularity, any feel good factor from having new owners could be runined if they removed him as soon as they came in and gave the job to their own man.

For instances, rumours abound that a couple interested want O'Neil installed if they are successfull. What would the feeling in the ground be like now If Roy was removed and O'Neil was put in? Probably not too negative.

If Kenny was given the job and then removed for O'Neil though? I'm guessing there would be some negative reactions, especially if Kenny had got off to a good start.

Can't argue with that bud
