sack hodgson!
I can’t believe what i have just seen,what the hell was that,i am in total shock.
2 away wins in 18 months is simply unacceptable ,,,HODGSON NEEDS SACKING NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am sorry to say this but we need to cash in on Torres now.
I’ve said for along time Hodgson was not the man to take us forward in our quest for the league title,there is no point winning at home when you cannot win away.After tonight’s performance half that team need to look at themselves as football player’s and really say that was unacceptable. Why should us, as Liverpool fans stand for such an inept performance. I have kept this short cause i am livid.
I AM SORRY FOR RANTING BUT I REALLY CANNOT GET MY HEAD ROUND THIS.TIME TO OPEN A BOTTLE GOODNIGHT TO ALL REDMEN Y N W A.
I CANT BELIEVE ALL THE FANS BLAMING ROY H, THE PLAYERS THAT RAFA LEFT BEHIND JUST AINT GOOD ENOUGH. Who the hell is available to take over? even if a new manager came in I doubt he would do much better with the average players we have..
I JUST THINK THAT THE SO CALLED LIVERPOOL FANS ARE VERY FICKLE, should we appoint CHRIS HOUTON? If we sack ROY we will end up on the manager merry go round like NEWCASTLE!
YOU SO CALLED FANS SHOULD BLAME THE PLAYERS AND RAFA FOR LEAVING US IN THE S…WITH ALL HIS DUFF BUYS…WE HAVE 2 DECENT RAFA signings left, REINA & TORRES…
THE BOARD NEED TO GIVE ROY THE CASH IN JANUARY, BACK HIM OR WE ARE GONE..
Max what are you smoking?
Roy needs to do a lot of homeworks. Away’s line-up is not necessarily same as home’s lineup.
With the current squad, there are many formations that could have been explored; possible midfielders and forwards combination:
4-3-3
Lucas / Gerrard / Raul
Kuyt or (Babel) / Torres or (Ngog) / Maxi or (Jova) or (Cole)
4-1-3-2
Lucas or (Poulsen)
Gerrard / Raul / Maxi or (Aurelio)
Kuyt or (Babel) / Torres or (Ngog) or (Jova)
4-3-1-2
Gerrard / Raul / Lucas or (Aurelio)
Cole or (Maxi) or (Kuyt)
Torres / Ngog or (Babel) or (Jova)
4-1-2-1-2
Lucas or (Poulsen)
Raul / Maxi or (Aurelio)
Gerrard or (Cole)
Torres or (Kuyt) / Ngog or (Jova) or (Babel)
