Europa League - Napoli Away Build up

[PTP]

What I need to see is that some sort of tipping point has been reached - that there has been a method behind what we have seen and that some small change has allowed us to bring it from the training ground to the game environment.

Do far I have seen nothing to suggest it will happen but I don't have such faith in my opinion that I think that it is definitive. A number of people who know about the game more than I do think Roy needs more time and so I'm willing to give him some.
10 games is a bit arbitrary but psychologically it is for be a barrier at which the number of points on the board added to my general impression is a fair reflection of what a manager has been doing rather than subject too much to transition effects or ill fortune.

I suppose if we lose the next game then there is really no hope of him getting to 10 with any momentum and I will call for his head but even a single victory wouldn't be enough for me.

- after the blackpool game me and my dad had a ****ing massive barney - he lost it when i suggested to him that hodgsons out of his depth, and done **** all in his career to suggest he is good enough.....my dad went ****ing nuts at me - he listed how many people in the game have praised him, how highly he is regarded by everyone in the know, etc etc - i replied with, well yeah he is a nice fella, been around for 30 years, gets on with everyone and isn't a threat to anyone.....no one is going to call him a cunt are they I then suggested that Steve Mclaren has a better managerial record than Hodgson - he didn't like that at all.

My dad is similar to you though, and a few others i've spoken too - the whole, we are liverpool, we support our managers, we don't get sack them after 8 games etc etc.....

it's very well and rosy saying this....but we've never had a manager that has been this bad after 8 games so it's never been an issue!!! - i'd be willing to give him time if, for example the one game we won, we played well....but we didnt' - we were ****ing ****e against WBA at home - terrible, awful - it was dire - people (on here or in the pub) thought we played well against Man Utd away!! really - we got ****ing ****ted and were ****e, apart from a spell of about 20 mins which was only for a Gerrard inspired display and nothing to do with hodgson - people say we kept possesion - yeah, cause united let us, they stood back, let our clueless team knock the ball sideways and backwards around the half way line, and every time we went forward they took it off us and countered.

thats the issue - or if there were a couple of other results/performances that made feel, yeah a bit of luck, or get so and so back in and this could really change it - but for whatever reasons every single player on the pitch is not happy, look completely lost, and it just isn't work....I fully accept the players have to stand up and be counted - but they are just not responding to the manager for me - I even was willing to allow everyone (players/managers) the huge distraction of the takeover saga as an excuse - but with the europhia of that being resolved right in time for the derby - they just didn't turn up. If hodgson can't get them going for that there is issues.

To me - from an outsider looking in, with little knowledge of the workings of a professional football teams changing room - it looks like the players think he's gone and cant be arsed with....it's a sad sad sad state of affairs - but I don't see hodgson turning this round in 2 games, 5 games, 10 games, or 20 - by which time we could well be dead and buried.

Is anyone wanting us to lose tonight ??? I hate to even think it, but IF losing tonight puts the final nail in Roy's coffin, then I'm all for it...

if we lose tonight roy defo has to go!! ****ing losing when we don't even play!

[Lecter]

We won't get spanked because they aren't that good. But it will be painful to watch as we will spend the whole game defending again

See Blackpool

Apparently, No Dalglish on club flight to Napoli, Hodgson's request, still trying to verify it.

Andrew_Heaton Andy Heaton
As I said, not 100%, but fairly certain, heard the rumour last night, and as of 5 minutes to take off, Kenny hadn't boarded the flight

Sounds like Hodgson is doing a Raul Moat

Expected #LFC line-up for tomorrow: Reina, Carragher, Skrtel, Kyrgiakos, Konchesky, Poulsen, Spearing, Babel, Cole, Jovanovic, Ngog.

[-V-]

See Blackpool

Blackpool never spanked us though, they beat us by 1 goal. I can see Napoli doing the same.

How strange, IF true then he really is making enemies with the wrong people. The end is near for Hodge

What. The. ****.

Same back four as Sunday? Carra at right back again?

****ing annoys me that Carra is so happy to play left or right back for Hodgson when he point blank refused to play RB for Rafa at Boro. We lost that game and had we won we might've won the title.

Spearing and Poulsen!!!!!!!!!

****ing hell.

That's really offensive.

[Mostar]

Definitely no Torres or Gerrard:

Liverpool squad: Reina, Jones, Hansen, Konchesky, Aurelio, Kyrgiakos, Skrtel, Wilson, Carragher, Kelly, Spearing, Poulsen, Shelvey, Maxi, Babel, Jovanovic, Pacheco, Eccleston, Cole, Ngog.

Raul and Lucas are also missing.

[Fierce]

That's really offensive.

Offensive?! Poulsen and Spearing in the centre? Carragher out....

Wait.

Spearing and Poulsen!!!!!!!!!

****ing hell.

I'm not going to watch this particular train wreck We will pinned down in our own half until they score two, then due to Poulsen and Spearing in midfield will continue to be pinned down in our own half. Who exactly is supposed to pass the ball in this team?

Thats not a concern with Hodgsons tactics
