Liverpool Rumours
There's alot of rumors going around on rawk about a Dalglish return. The rumors started before the Rory Smith article so there might be something in it. On of the 'legends' (been there for years) on the site says that Dalglish is coming home from his holiday in Dumbai tommrow. It's not just the football adn rsults they are mad about, it's the attendacne. I had a friend there today who sat on a row on his own.

Couple of things - rumour and observation:
1 34500 at Anfield today - pitiful for a game between 2 north west teams - shows the poor standard of football is effecting attendance - the manager dictates the style we play with. It's no different in any other business the leader / managers style of leadership effects all.
2 Sunday Telegraph reporting NESV / FSG prepared to change thoughts and go with caretaker till summer - hope more than anything this means Roy gone this week
3 Ralf Rangnick interesting option just left Hoffenhiem today knows how to build a team
4 Martin Broughton knighted - nothing to do with LFC really but nice to see after working hard for us this year

@Liverpool Rumours ££Should we read anything into the fact Phil Thompson was not on the Sky Sports Soccer Saturday panel today? Might he have been asked to help out with Dalglish over the coming months. He was at Anfield with Ian Rush on Wednesday night.""

Both Rushie and Tommo were at the game as spectators. I was a bit surprised Tommo was there as I would have expected him to be at the Sky Sports studio.

Don't read anything into Tommo not being there. Merson, and Nicolas were also missing.

Nother disgrace of a post, mainly highlighting "Now I am closer than at any time in my life to walking away".
Guessing the person who made this comment is not from Liverpool. I have not seen a shell suit in the city since the 80's early 90's.
I understand a lot of the post is spot on, but it is the little points that stand out.

James Mc


Ok, let me explain. When I say shell-suit, I am not referring to a garment, but a state of mind, and let me be very clear, this is not about the city of liverpool one bit. This is about the calibre of some of the 'fans' we have now, wherever they come from.

I'm not from Liverpool, I'm from Ireland. We have these tw@ts over here as well.

Well I do apologise Ferd, I never knew you meant it in that content. And also if you think I was slandering you too, we are all fans and have are own opinions. The main thing is we all have one thing in common, supporting Liverpool Football Club, It is ridiculous sometimes when your see fans of the same club giving each other grief, so again my apologies.

Well had a poor live stream but what I saw looked better but hey it couldn't get worse than wolves really could it thought Torres upped his game gerrard ran things but still work needs doing. To be quite honest if I was to stroll in tomorrow as manager my main aims would be to build confidence install flare and get the team spirit up, I would take the chains off remove tactical restrictions and let the players just go out and play football enjoying it with a smile on there faces like they did when they were kids just dreaming of being were they are now. What did you think random person lol. Redchris

Because Whiskey Nose, Matt Busby, Arsen Wenger, Brian Clough, Bob Paisley, Bill Shankly, Joe Fagan, Roy Evans or Kenny Dalglish wouldn't have been able to do much better with the squad of players Roy inhereted and the time he's had to turn things around.

First off. Koncheski's treatment by small majority of dkhds is just appalling, shameful, embarrassing and dam right disrespectful. Ok the lad isn't goodenough for first team but still it's a disgrace.
Hodgson won't be there long. Hard to fill RB shoes after the champions league win but it seem he lost the dressing room and half the fans on his appointment the poor performances , results and lack of player protection isn't the Liverpool way.NESV are new to soccer/ football so they are learning still. My guess is Woy will be out in the summer.
If any player wants to leave then leave, you will be replaced. Our history tells us we lick our wombs and comeback stronger.
When Keagen left we got Dalglish etc etc
We are Liverpool football Club

I'm quite surprised that Bolton didn't use the same tactics that Wolves used so well against us on Wednesday, in not letting the defense try & play the ball from the back. I think that's why we looked a bit better today! But only a bit better mind you. Kuyt was still awful, Torres has very little confidence at all, even if he did score! & the back 4 & Lucas frighten me to death when they are trying to play the ball out from the back, & I think the crowd feel it to. The fans are feeling the nervousness of the players & vice versa. Nothing that a month long unbeaten run wouldn't fix. Highly unlikely I know.

The Irish Rover ( Editor! Do we need more squad players like Hoarau? Shouldn't we be trying for players that can make an immediate impact on the first 11?)

{Editor's Note: Well, I know what you mean - but I see the club as having a squad of players all of which should be capable of fulfilling a roll in the team (the first 11).}

I love how Roy gets constant s*eep then wins a game and all of a sudden he's doing his best all he has done is apply for a job yeah fair enough I don't believe anyone doesn't like him as a man well they didn't until his support remark he is a nice guy and no doubt he is doing his best, thing is his best is not good enough and this win today doesn't change that me wanting him out doesn't make me a so called fan does it neither does it make any other person who wants him out. I want him out cuz I think it's best for the club that doesn't make me a bad fan I do also think some of roys tactics ect are idiotic voicing that doesn't make me a poor fan, so can we stop with this so called fans bullshe*p please everyone on here is a fan if they weren't they wouldn't be on fan sites ect.

The sad thing is, roy and rafa before him have proved, NO matter who we buy, Kuyt and Lucas will not be dropped from the team. Kuyt is our worst player yet he never gets criticism because he works hard. He offers nothing going forward. It would be great if Elia, RVW, SWP, come in, but they won't play as Kuyt WILL NOT be dropped. WHY IS THIS?? this year he must have given the ball away 90% of the time, he can't pass forward and gets tackled all the time, he's an utter disgrace but its the managers fault for picking him, I hope Roy leaves ASAP!

We all know that Roy Hodgson is not the man to take us foreward, we all know he will be replaced eventually. . .But while he is our manager we should all give him our backing, it is really sad to read posts that belittle or humiliate him.If the managers we are chasing. .Vila Boas, Deschamps etc see the way we are treating our manager why the hell would they want to come to our club to be slaughtered like we are doing to Hodgson, he is on borrowed time so while he is still our manager we should give him our support and stop all this childish bullying.

Re: Roy singing. At least the man is making the effort, he has apologised even though I don't think he had anything to apologise for. All he did was apply for a job, after all. And so what if he is friendly with AF, I blame the senior people who brought him in for not briefing him properly going into these press conferences. All the guy gives a fk about is football, not politics. Tactics aside, the man is what he is, and it was up to somebody else to figure out if he was a good fit for Liverpool. .where is that person now?

We all liked him when he wasn't our manager, we all liked his fulham team. .the kop gave fulham a 30 second ovation for going thru against Juve. I am ashamed to call myself an LFC fan now after reading all over the internet the hkng poison some so-called fans are coming out with, and the treatment of some of the playing staff has been fkng outrageous.

You know what, The Liverpool Way is more than passion, it is what has made even our deepest enemies envious of us forever. It is why our manager doesn't shag the physio's wife. why we don't call black players racist names. It is why we are supposed to be tolerant and knowledgable. It is more than what goes on on the pitch. It was what made us special, why we were loved all over the world, as the aristocrats of English and European football.

Now I witness a bunch of shellsuit-wearing foul-mouthed spittle-gobbed hkheads rant on the internet about a man who is DOING HIS BEST for the club. IT IS UP TO NESV if he stays or goes.

Almost 40 years I have followed this beautiful club, this beautiful ideal. Now I am closer than at any time in my life to walking away, and it's not LFC or Hodgson or Henry that is making that happen, it is the fans.

ferdTHANKYOU! I love hearing a bit of true liverpool sentiment. Literally gives me shivers. So i thought id make you all read it again.

Can i just point out as well quickly, some matey called me a blue as an insult. . doesn't work for me. Fair enough hate them in a jovial way, but you can't fault their character. They sing their hearts out, know their football, and we should ALWAYS respect them for being the only people who truly backed us after Hillsborough.
Theres a lot worse things you can be than an everton fan that's for sure. . . . .

Lets not get to carried away by today's result, if it was not for Meireles getting injured and forcing Roy to put Mr Gerrard on with in 25mins (other wise 80+min) then in turn gave Mr Torres his goal assist that sparked a good Liverpool performance or was it great management on Roy's behalf.

Were you at the Wolves game mate, Gerrard was hobbling around for the last 20 mins clutching his hamstring. Hodgson was brave enough to rest his best player irrespective of the fact he's on so called 'Death row'. I though the crowds abuse of Knoncheski was a disgrace the other night and I would speculate that Hodgsons knee jerk reaction about the anfield support was an attempt at offering a degree of support to a person he's known for a couple of years, the sort of thing good man managers do. Second half today was spot on, the half time team talk clearly worked. Ngog aside, the team selection was spot on but what other alternative has Hodson got apart from Ngog at the moment. Get off the mans back, he cut alonley figure today stood in front of the dug out and all the mans done is apply for job and done his best to date under difficult circumstances

Watching the game today i can't see how everyone is convinced torres wants to leave, even when he was playing badly he never hid away. And when he scored his body language said it all, he loves lfc and i think its just roy's tactics and the lack of a decent partner that is pissing him off.
my personal choice for a partner would be lavezzi as i think he would compliment him nicely and wouldn't cost the world.
what does everyone else think?

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Spot on my mate, I've been confused with Torres body language all season, but I realised today he's red through and through. I totally agree with the Lavezzi partnership, Torres runs in straight lines and isn't that effective at runing directly at centre halfs. A partner such as Lavezzi would be a suitable compliment playing in the hole similar to the Beardsley role. As a stop gap, Hodgson should put Joe Cole up front with Torres for now, Ngog is just to fragile. Hodgson can't play Ngog against Mancs in the FA Cup or we won't get a sniff up front. Even after going 1 down today, the shape and balance of the team was different to Wednesday night and it was clear a goal was inevitable. We played some great stuff second half today, possession play was good, off the ball vision was competent and Agger made a big difference with his passing vision, which enabled quick counter attacking football. I think the Hodgson doubters may have to eat humble pie if he gets the opportunity to make a couple of shrewd signings this January. We're just a couple of quality signings, together with squad improvement and confidence injection from being challengers again.

I cannot believe how fickle some fans are. One game should not change your opinion. Five hours ago I would stick my head out and say about 98% of fans wanted Hodgson's head. A late goal from Cole, which am pleased about, has change so many opinions already. This is until our next embarrassing result, when fans turn again. The old owl is not up for the job, never has been never will. I understand there is no one available to step in at present, but Kenny plus Thompson as number two is better than what we have in Roy and Sammy.

On another note I cannot believe a couple of fans wanted our beloved Liverpool to lose today. That is shameful and a disgrace! No matter how you feel, the result you wish for should always be a victory! Paisley and Shankly would turn in there graves.

The passion today was awesome and the fans felt it to, may it continue.

Did everyone hear Roy Hodgson's comments after the game today? Because therein lie the crux of his problems. I can't remember his exact words, but to paraphrase he basically said that he wouldn't have been too upset or had too much of a problem if the match had finished 1-1. What a stupid thing to say! A great manager, a WINNER would say he was upset that we conceded a cheap goal from a set-piece and we wasted a few good chances to score more goals. And that's the point. I don't think Roy is a winner. He's not ruthless enough. He's too busy trying to be objective and be friends with all the other managers and not upset anyone (unless it's his own fans or players). But I fear we'll have to muddle through this season as best we can and bring in a WINNER in the summer. Who that will be though. . . who knows? But hopefully they won't play Raul Meireles on the right wing!

"Isn't Konchelski's wife the sister of the footballing CH that was b* *ing Wayne Bridge's Baby's Momma. Don't we sing a little song about her love for Scouse C* * when that player plays against us. So between mother and mother in law that had to be a great conversation starter around the Christmas get together. Bye Bye Konch".

No - JT's brother Paul (Darlington FC) is married to Konchesky;'s sister. Whatever gets said by his family does not detract from the fact that our player himself is professional and never said anything but positive things about the club. Leave the family out of it - Whilst he may not be the quality player we wanted the lad has played to the best of his ability!

As a German fan, I would like to provide some information about Rangnick.

His nickname here in Germany is "Professor", since he has much experience and talks much about football, however, it is also meant in an ironic way, because he is known for talking much rubbish and always believing to have a better football knowledge than other people.

He helped Hannover to be promoted to the first league and also helped Hoffenheim, which were a third league club, when he became their coach, to become a first league club with decent results.

However, his teams lack consistency and discipline and that is why he never managed to get top results in the end.

Furthermore, there have always been personal problems between him and the clubs. If I remember correctly, the former Hoffenheim manager Schindelmeiser resigned because of a conflict between them. There were also conflicts at Schalke between him and other leading club members. The current situation at Hoffenheim is certainly another example.

To sum up, he is not highly rated in Germany at all (I do not know why some people on this site claim that he would be) and certainly not the coach we need. He would be able to handle a club like Liverpool.

Re: Roy singing. At least the man is making the effort, he has apologised even though I don't think he had anything to apologise for. All he did was apply for a job, after all. And so what if he is friendly with AF, I blame the senior people who brought him in for not briefing him properly going into these press conferences. All the guy gives a fk about is football, not politics. Tactics aside, the man is what he is, and it was up to somebody else to figure out if he was a good fit for Liverpool. .where is that person now?

We all liked him when he wasn't our manager, we all liked his fulham team. .the kop gave fulham a 30 second ovation for going thru against Juve. I am ashamed to call myself an LFC fan now after reading all over the internet the fkng poison some so-called fans are coming out with, and the treatment of some of the playing staff has been fkng outrageous.

You know what, The Liverpool Way is more than passion, it is what has made even our deepest enemies envious of us forever. It is why our manager doesn't shag the physio's wife. why we don't call black players racist names. It is why we are supposed to be tolerant and knowledgable. It is more than what goes on on the pitch. It was what made us special, why we were loved all over the world, as the aristocrats of English and European football.

Now I witness a bunch of shellsuit-wearing foul-mouthed spittle-gobbed fkheads rant on the internet about a man who is DOING HIS BEST for the club. IT IS UP TO NESV if he stays or goes.

Almost 40 years I have followed this beautiful club, this beautiful ideal. Now I am closer than at any time in my life to walking away, and it's not LFC or Hodgson or Henry that is making that happen, it is the fans.

Just thought I'd comment on some of the issues of the past few weeks.

Firstly, a good win today, although we left it late. It's probably too late to save Hodgson's job and we'll never know whether he was the right man as he never stood a chance right from the start. One of the things that Roy definitely got right was his comment about the supporters. If the management at the Club is not what it used to be and the team is not what it used to be, the supporters are definitely not what they used to be. In the last couple of seasons, both players and management have been booed, players can't make a mistake without screams and abuse from the stands, people on sites like this use them to abuse players and the Manager. Liverpool FC sold their soul years ago and priced genuine scouse supporters out of the game. If televison ever do interviews with fans outside the ground, you are very lucky to hear one scouse accent. This new breed of outsiders might spend in the clubshop etc but they have no humour, no knowledge of the game, no awareness of when players with no confidence need a lift and have the attutude that they pay their money so they can moan as much as they like. Even Shankly himself would have struggled to have a rapport with some of the morons who call themselves Liverpool supporters now. Some are even advocating that we sell Torres. What short memories they have. They are too thick to realise that even great players can struggle after injury and are mentally afraid of extending themselves in case they get injured again, particularly where hamstrings are concerned. This leads to lack of confidence and subsequent poor form. Supporters of the 70's and 80's would have recognised that and helped the player to rediscover confidence. Meanwhile, fellers who stood at the back of the Kop for years now watch games on Sky or in the pub. If you read this and recognise yourself, piss off from where you came and that would be the best thing you could do for the team!

As for Roy, I thought he would make sensible team selections, play players in their right positions, and get players playing above themselves as he did at Fulham. Instead, he has tried to err on the side of caution and this has backfired on him. After 10 years of Houllier and Benitez who always set out the team not to lose in the first instance, when Roy started doing the same he got the backlash of years of frustration. Still , there is no need to crucify the man and make his job even more difficult than it already is.

As for who should succeed Hodgson, who should we look for? Owen Coyle has been mooted and he should be considered. I's not always straightforward to look at results, more what can a particular manager bring to Liverpool. For example, Owen Coyle has just brought his team to Anfield and lost. In the previous game, Mick McCarthy brought his team and won. Does that mean that Fr. Paul Stone is a better manager than Coyle? Not really, because McCarthy's game plan was to press and harry for 90 minutes while Coyle at least tried to have a go. Houllier, Benitez and now Hodgson all had rigid formations where players were afraid to move out of their zone. This makes it almost impossible to break down modern defences as they know that nobody will turn up in an unexpected area. We need a Manager who will be brave enough to let players use their initiative. We need a manager who can play a back four who are good enough not to need two defensive players sitting in front of them all the time. I hope that NESV make the right decision but please let it be someone who will inspire players rather than demotivate them, a manager who will have confidence in his teams ability to play and let them off the leash a bit.

Just a couple more points. In the last decade Liverpool have had three of the best strikers in world football. Both Fowler and Owen had their Liverpool careers cut short by injury in their prime. I am hoping that Torres does not suffer the same fate. How unlucky would we be if that happened?

I think the future is bright with youngsters coming through. Suso, Sterling and Shelvey are the cream of the crop and I think they will take Liverpool back to the top when they eventually break through, provided we have a Manager brave enough to give them chances and astute enough to sign decent players to play alongside them.

Why have Liverppol not won the title for over 20 years. Poor management, simple as that. They have not addressed weaknesses that supporters have known about for years. McManaman was the last player who could beat a man in a wide position. Only 10 years to sort that one boys, so no hurry there. For over 2 seasons we have had no decent back up striker. Poor signings, failure to motivate, playing square pegs in round holes and incomprehensible team selections are other reasons.

Finally, I would never boo or slag players off at the game as it only has a detrimental effect but here is a message to the players.

You are just about to let the poorest Man Utd side for over 20 years take the title and our record without even putting up a fight.

If you don't want to play for the shirt, get out of the club.

If you don't want to play for the Manager, you should at least be playing for the supporters.

If you roll up your sleeves and stay and bring the title back to Anfield in the next coupe of seasons, you will see celebrations like you never thought possible in football and you will be legends for ever.

Good result today and we played with some passion and urgency in the second half anyway.
The crowd was also good today.

I feel that Roy will be with us till the summer now so let's rid the negativaty and get behind the team and Roy, we might just do better than we fear as the fourth spot may still be there for the taking and if we can add a couple of quality signings in Jan it could give us the lift we need.


What's your honest opinion on the above ed ?

LFC1 {ed's note - getting behind the team at the matches will help performances massively but I still think Hodgson needs to go or we will end up in a relegation battle. I just can't see any signings making a difference while they are being told to sit deep and hoof the ball for 90 minutes.}

Just got back from the game lads, and they can't be accused of no heart today.I actually felt sorry for Roy today.I never wanted him at the club, because of his style of management.He was singing you'll never walk alone at the start of the match.Sammy Lee wasn't .I respect Roy for that and have actually changed my mind on the point that I now think he should be giving till the end of the season.He is a nice man and doesn't deseve some of the abuse he gets.It was uncomfortable watching him today I sit not far from the dugout.He does want to succeed.He just plays the wrong tactics for me.Lets stop hounding the man and if he doesn't make top 4 at the end of the season.Thank him and make the change. Happy new year

Who cares if he sings YNWA? He's only doing now because his relationship with the fans has broken down, and they have no faith in him so he's trying to sing our famous anthem to redeem himself. Why didn't he sing it before then? You were gullable enough to actually buy it.

And now you're happy to see him here until the end of the season? I bet after the Wolves game you wanted him out asap and now that we win he deserves a chance and all does he? I bet if we lose the next game you'll be on calling for his head again. He has to go, he's not good enough, his tactics are awful, his football is more like rugby with all the hoofs, and I really don't care if he's a nice man, he's not the man for the job. Do you think all of our managers should be hired on the basis that they are nice men?

He his not a good enough player for us, but from someone who remembers Joey Jones the player not the myth.we have had worse, or as bad. His connection with Roy plus his mother flaming the fire made him a hate figure.He didn't personally deserve the abuse he got while he has the red shirt on.I thought Ian Huntley was getting taken off against Wolves. I felt sorry for him I am not saying I want him in the team or Roy managing us. I would just like some fans to respect people.

Anfield was great man roy looked to so upset during the whole game it is pretty clear he had been told that he better keep getting wins and just wins well done for signing the Anthem good man. Maybe he knew he wasn't up to the anfield job but who in their right mind would turn it down im 24 and i know nothing about being a manager but i would still take it. ! Good luck to you Roy as long as you are manager i think he is a decent manager i just think he lacks something very key to being manager of a club like Liverpool and that's the ability get the players fired up today was down to Stevie. Top stuff going blackburn next week come on boys i don't care if its 1-0 88th minute just get the result then beat blackpool too!

Both Rushie and Tommo were at the game as spectators. I was a bit surprised Tommo was there as I would have expected him to be at the Sky Sports studio.

We can all point the finger at Roy and use him as our first call to blame and im as bad as anyone but the players for me are totally uninterested and it frustrates me to see our so called "stars" not taking it upon themselves to grind results out. Maybe they should look at our league standing, look at our loyal and disheartend supporters and a look at themselves and there ridiculous wage demands, kick each other up the apse and give it 100%. Todays game with Bolton was the first ive seen all our players show abit of passion and determination to win. The problem being in the next game we won't show the same bite. I agree a new manager is needed, id personally look at O'Neil here and as hes been there, hes done it and hes got charisma. I don't think he would be everones first choice but i don't think he stands for any messing and he won't settle for any player giving any less than 110% week in week out. What are your thoughts ed?

Couple of tranfer "rumours" too. West Ham are close on the loan signing of Ryan Babel till the end of the season and aparently we are offering a trial to Diego Buananotte.

I am from holland and i heard louis talk alot on the dutch Sport1 channel and i honestly can say , that he might consider going to liverpool if he was asked. Atleast ponder about it. . .

Anyways I have to say the crowd was outstanding today. . i was one of the critisis(typo? ) but wow . . i really enjoyed the crowd today loved the noise . .

When we were 1-0 down , i heard a small group starting to cheer louder and louder ( Liverpool , liverpool) and all of a sudden the goal dropped. really amazing effort from our team and props to Roy hodgson , he made the team play great today Maybe a bit lucky but still i loved this game :) . . Maybe its just me happy to feel excited about a liverpool game ( We havent had much this season. . )

No, let's not give him one more minute to wreck our club. Obviously the sheer relief at actually scraping a win has made you forget the shapeless, pointless, dreadful hoof and run that we have been playing - the shocking signings - and the appalling attitude to the clubs supporters.

Aurelio- Fantastic offers crosses corners gets forward great first touch great skill and the reason i love him so much if because hes got a point to prove seeing as hes been injured.

Johnson- Not really sure? Looked okay going forward well done.

Lucas- Keep working son!
Meireles - :(

Joe cole - go on son!

Kuyt- waste. don't care if he works hard whenever we are on the break hes too slow.

Maxi- Thought he was really really good.

Gerrard- Simply Stevie.

Ngog- He's completely gash? Ryan would have offered more jesus! Head down not got great skills. Uh i know he is young but. !

Torres- Fustraiting first half but the lad has got it we all know that was a goal he had bolton tormented! All of you saying sell him just be quiet! You can't replace him. Just having him on the pitch scares defenders you notice how he gets roughed up in the first 15 of every game im glad hes getting tougher and fighting back good lad!
quick not fantastic celebrations guys! Truly great real passion!
Quick word on Matty Taylor not saying we should sign him but thought he played really well got scared when he had a set piece.
Big well done 9th with 2 games in hand on the teams above us? love it!
As for roy well. i wish him the best of luck while he is in charge and no i don't think kenny will be a good idea just really dissapointed we lost all 3 at wolves woulda been 28 points :(! but that's football. 2-3 players in jan ALL with pace would be huge!
ED Quick questions? Thoughts on Fernando?

Let's give Roy time. He took over during a transfer window when the two clowns were still owning Liverpool. The team at the time was poor only winning four of our last ten prem games last season. He had little money to spend in that window which saw the arrival of Joe cole who 99 percent of us were pleased with. We seem to forget that the majority of this team was there when he took over. He needs support from the owners and the supporters our selves. He took little old fulham to a Europa league final, so in time with a little help I believe he can get this club back on track.

Ahhhh my bad. I wouldn't want them to spend ridiculous money. It would rip the soul and heart out of our club. Giving the club a solid foundation to build on is key. Investment in youth, a new stadium (as much as I'd like stay at Anfield, it's not feasible) and exploiting the Asian market and USA, and finally a manager with the winning mentality and the character to represent the club as much as I hate to admit it, like Fergie has, he has become synonymous with the Mancs, or even Wenger at Arsenal.

The all powerful manager scenario is great until he either gets fired or quits. I think it makes perfect sense to have a strategy as a club and the manager fits in to that model. It is the same in any other business environment so why should football be any different? You give one guy too much power and ultimately it corrupts. RED77

To sum up Woy he took the distinctly average Konchesky to our beloved club because he had worked with him before and felt 'comfortable' having him in his side. There were better options available to him but he went with a poor player to make him feel more at ease in his new club. Wrong attitude from day one. RED77

I know you asked for the ed's response on this, but I just want to disagree for one reason; J Cole is not a wide player. When he came on today he was practically playing straight down the middle. Great that he got a goal today, but it's very tricky to squeeze him into the team. In my opinion a new wide right player needs to be bought in this window because Kuyt won't frighten defenders, and Joe would get lost out there for the same reason.

Joe Cole player their for Chelsea and was player of the year. He's more then able to play their.

I agree Kuyt needs to be sold. He's useless.

There is such a negative atmosphere hanging over Anfield right now. Whatever Woy whines about not getting the support from the beginning it was ultimately HIS responsibility to get the team playing for him and then the support would have followed. We have an opportunity now to create a new dynasty. Similar to when the scum took Ferguson. Having seen what Coyle has done to that Bolton side his training methods are obviously top drawer. Add to that it is clear the players buy into his ethos and really play for the guy. Could we roll the dice and take a gamble on him creating something special at Anfield? He would clearly walk to our club. After Woy I want a younger hungrier manager. RED77

Please Liverpool FC save us from this constant dribble that Roy Hodgson comes out with, first he tries to conclude that we were the better team from the first to the last, not sure what game he was watching in the first half, then he says that a 3 week break done him and the team no favours.
Is this fool for real, he tries reverting to the team that beat Wset ham and it backfires, i think he only dropped Gerrard to try and prove he was in charge and that if they lost he did it his way, absolute rubbish, three players saved his bacon, Gerrard who ran the show when he appeared, Torres who got the equaliser and looked a total differant player after that and Joe Cole who got the winner, all three have privatley been lambasted by Hodgson.
This need sorting out and sorting out quick, dropping Gerrard after wednesday night was a dead man walking joke of a decision, he was not brilliant on wed but there where 9 others who were as bad.
The sooner we get rid of this mug the better, bring in "Cocco the clown" for all i care but please make a decision, Anfield needs to be full every week so we can lift our team and show potential new players what the Anfield roar is all about.

Now a short window of opportunity has opened for Roy to go. He's won a game in the last minute and that will no doubt leave a lasting taste in the mouth of the London media if he is sacked - giving him a good chance at the England job. It's a win win situation for both parties. My choice for interim manager would be Kenny. What is needed most at Liverpool is a massive lift for both fans and players, Kenny would provide that.

Onto the game, today's performance was fantastic, but it has only highlighted the fact that we have no Plan B. If Torres and Gerrard, particularly Gerrard, aren't performing then we lose the game. That has to be remedied. There are a few leaders coming through the ranks at the moment (Shelvey, Coady) but no clinical strikers that have the potential to be world class.

Ynwa. Exactly mate. That kinda animated reaction from reina was so pleasing to watch. . It was much more animated than one messi would give to maradona after argentina thrash their opponents.
Even torres. It is very clear that he is frustrated with himself . With his poor form and when He does score he feels top of the world and exults all that frustration through his celebration in a happy way. . And his hug with gerrard was great to watch. . And stevie-take a bow. .
Aurelio-some really positive movements from him offensively. Close to resolute in defence. Agger is undoubtedly great in his dribbling and footballing mind. Example -the way he dribbled upto corner flag and took the foul.
Kuyt looked fresh and energetic which he always is but this time his technic dint desert him.
Ngog sucked. In my opinion he is too much of 2 solo . Keeps his head down while dribbling and simply can't spot the free man in an excellent position. Johnson too lazy. The last man to be marking in corners and freekicks . This led to the goal.
On the whole one man changed the game completely like he has done ever since he donned the liverpool shirt. .
I badly want hodgson out. Cos if this kinda performance we can give under hodgson, we would be world beaters under some attack oriented manager. But I doubt Hodgson will face the guillotine which loomed large over his neck until joecole kicked it away.so I hope we draw the inspiration we have lacked all season from this game. Beat blackburn in their own den. And send united packing in the fa cup in their own den. These two results can catapult our destiny further upwards

Don't give up hope if you read between the lines on Kenny's rally cry it sounds verymuch like he'll still take over from Hodgson. What do you think ED ?

Anyone debating if they should hope we lose to get rid of Woy needs to sort their attitude out sharpish. We don't need fans like you supporting our club. The situation will be resolved very soon and childish attitudes will have zero impact but losing 3 or 4 in a row could see us dragged into a very unwanted relegation battle and the doomsday scenario of us slipping out of the Prem. So wake up, this isn't a game, do your job of supporting and let the grown ups do the decision making when it is needed. RED77

Hoooh! !what a game.lfc wins 2-1.
Gerrard was phenominal, absolute top class from our skipper.
I am happy about this victory because of many reasons:

# torres scored.looked more confident and dedicated in the 2nd half.

# joe cole scored.saw his joy after he scored in injury time.he looked relieved.i think he was having a starting trouble , like he tries too hard to prove his worth.hopefully our marquee signing can hopefully kick on his lfc career. # stevie's wonderful display. # roy saves his job.don't think i'm a fan of him.frankly speaking currently there are no other good option of managers available at the moment . Don't say about rafa because we sacked him once .so bring him back will bring a negative image to the club. I think roy will continue till end of season .hope that he gets better every game from now. Then when the season ends i think nesv will bring in options like boas , because they like to have young top class managers.

AM I CORRECT ED?

Well done liverpool much better second half. better balance on the left with aurelio and maxi got to start every match for me. gerrard was outstanding. ( ed. how much input do the sports science team have over team selection? coz am thinking gerrards been told not to start that game?) so glad we won that game, imagine going into the manc game with anoter defeat. got to be positive now and take something from that second half their. ( oh! and i am not a roy supporter ive come on here and give him s* t for months, we all know and i think nesv know he's going, its just when. so we should take that win and start being positive now and get behind the team

Yeah right Ed . I will remind of this statement in a couple of weeks :¬)
It was a very good performance all round, but lets face it we and more so Roy were very very very lucky Meireles got injured early and Gerrard came on. if he didn't it would have been a different result.

I am just wondering what will happen when Carra is fit again, will Mr H drop Agger again?

Ok lets make sense of this, we won because torres finally got some service ( half a chance, and that's why he is world class) the finish was second to none.
the service was stevie g, who played 5 positions, our best winger with the best crosses, and yes we all know we need wingers. So some say let Roy pick his players and build his team. I don't trust him with any kind of cash. He has purchased poulson who doesn't play because hes terrible, konchesky who is benched as he is terrible, meirreles who is a great addittion, but on the right wing? Joe cole who looks past it. Now I know when hodgson joined we really needed a striker and a winger, and the above is what we got. Hodgson is picking a midtable team because that's what he is use to. Liverpool cannot settle for these 4-5 million type s* t players.

What a great performance from Steven Gerrard. You could see Torres' confidence improve massively after the goal. Also really solid from Maxi. Hopefully we'll see a fit Meireles come in for Lucas, Konchesky left wherever he's been hidden away, and the confidence grow. Anyone notice the massive hug between Hodgson and Pepe? Perhaps the manager hasn't quite lost the players' support to the extent we thought. Not that he shouldn't be sacked of course.

What you saw there was one man - Gerrard, digging Liverpool out of a hole with pure determination and hardwork. We shouldn't be in a position where we rely on that against a Bolton side so ravaged with injury that they couldn't even muster a full set of substitutes.

Hodgson - get lost.

We were playing a team with only 15 fit players today, were lucky not to concede more goals and the style of football is too defensive and not LFC. . .

last I checked you could only start 11 and use 3 subs. 11+3+14.

Yes its a win, but when wolves and bolton can come to anfield with no feat what so ever we have problems. we really need so wingers with speed and creativity, I like agger going forward, but skytel(spelling) is a bit a a donkey. Its just a matter of time until hodgson will be gone, leaving soon will be Skytel, kuyt ( tries but to slow and getting too old) Maxi or joe cole one of the two is going. Jova all but gone. No one else will leave, but to have any shot of champions league this season will need at least 4 new additions. 2 wingers, 1 striker, 1 center back.

Please do not be fooled that a win today means Roy can take us where we need to be! He can't, he doesn't know how. Please make the necessary change.

This manager does not have the class, respect, technical knowledge or proven history that LFC deserve and need.

I Got to be honest with you all. . This has been far the best performance liverpool FC gave us uder roy hodgson . By a landscape. . i Really enjoyed this game especially the second half , fantastic finish to the game . .

This may either be because roy's departure is there . . or he might of finally turned his own tactics around and starts to play attractive football? anyways we just have to w8 and see. .

Kuyt was good btw , Great crosses and first touches by him. he is getting back to his Form,

Maxi Great,
Torres Getting into shape?
Gerrard MOTM for me. . .
I also loved to see agger play with skrtel in the back , great partnership imo

And don't be afraid of the dark.

And the sweet silver song of a lark.

Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.


Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone.

I don't have much confidence in this signing if it happens.

I find myself in a bit of a jam because when Davies put that first goal in I thought there it is, that's the end for Roy. But that Torres goes and scores one and I would love to see Torres score three and win us the match. I do not know what to think anymore. I don't want the team to lose ever but it is honestly better in the long term interest of our club. Which way are you leaning Ed? Win or lose?

Hi Ed's Happy New Year to you all, just a quick thought i know it's stated that NESV do not want to go down the route of giving Kenny the role but i think Roy & Sammy both need to be replaced with Kenny on a temp role and Didi Hamman along side him with a view to taking the role permanently. He's young, has previously stated he would love to manage us one day, vastly experienced in the English game there are endless plus point to this installment the only downside is his inexperience in management but who better to learn from.

Watching this lot, I am starting to have some sympathy with RH.

How many professional footballers are unable to control the ball and pass it to one of their own players.

Torres, Kuyt, Ngog, Skrtel, Johnson are a disgrace.

If roy hodgson is not sacked tonight/ tommorow morning then summat is seriously wrong with NESV
it is so very clear the fans do not want him here and the players jus look like they cba to be honest

1-0 down to bolton is a joke i do not no why ngog plays upfront when he struggles to score at all id rather play kuyt o bable up there with him but rather bable for me cause he has the speed and pace and when he wants to he can score aswell

not a rumour jus a very angry fan

happy new year to all reds fans :D

Im fed up of Roy's excuses. It isn't my squad, left a sub standard squad, fans not behind me etc etc.

I don't hate Roy and I don't think he's a bad man, he is just not right for us.

He claims no other manager could do a better job with the players he has! Balls.

Are you telling me player for players the following teams have better players than us?

Bolton
Sunderland
Stoke
Blackpool
Blackburn
Everton
Newcastle
West Brom

NO THEY DONT!

The fact is Roy does not have the ability to get the players we have to play together and perform. The longer this goes on, the more we will be in danger, the less players, managers, fans etc will want to come.

I know that there is no obvious replacement, but is NESV don't act now, theyll be left a football club that is worth a hell of a lot less than what they bought it for! !

NESV, act now! !

3 changes that could do a world of good for our team this year. Replace Roy Hodgson with guus hiddink as care taker. Replace Ngog and place gerrard in the hole. Meireles and lucas in the midfield.
Replace johnson with kelly.
Remainin is the same as today's XI.

Very poor they are clearly trying and working, serious lack of confidence.Bolton are pressing us so high up the pitch because they have no fear but we are sitting off.Crazy!

"Alwight boys, twy and keep it at 1-0. When you sense danger, pass it back to Weina and he'll hoof it up for Towwes. Agger, you gonna come off so dat Gewward can push back and make woom for Chwistian Poulsen to hold the ball in midfield. Auwelio, you come off for Konchesky. Skwtl, you twy and talk Kevin Davies into joining the Wed Wevolution. We need a nice tallman to hoof it up to."

Happy new year all, especially the Eds (Ed Edn Eddy)
Manager is my main concern.

Van Gaal im sure has no interest in LFC.
Boas signed extension to contract and happy working with "technically gifted" players. Breaking records etc. .Deschamps possibilty but can't see him "jumping now" as he wouldn't at the start of the season, and quoted that the approach from LFC was timed wrong. Rijkaards out of hours "habits" already ruled him out of the running. Pelligrina also ruled out and now in another job. Jurgen Klopp recently extended his tenure to 2014 so the list of "possibles" gets shorter. I suppose another downfall for us the fact that so many of our players are "over rated" and not the most gifted or tecnically skilled players we would like at LFC So will the REAL LFC please stand up and be counted.
JIm22

I think Boas might go in the summer. We need a caretaker manager till the end of the season. Sack roy, and get Kenny in on caretaker role. In the summer go after Owen Coyle or Boas. Im sure they would join us. Boas doesn't want to stay in a club that are selling players. They would want to go to a club that would spend money and is on the up.

A bit of an overreaction above. I think the point is that dirk kuyt had a superb goal record in holland and never hit the same heights. Not saying the same will be true of wolfswinkel and hopefully the difference between him and kuyt is that he's much quicker for the prem.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Just about Dirk. he played as a striker in Holland. He's a poacher. Neither Rafa of Woy played him in this position. I know he now plays rw for Holland but I'd still like to see him upfront with Torres on a regular basis. It just makes sense to me to try that for a while and see what happens. Though I'm no student of the game so what do I know.

Can you imagine being Fernando Torres right now? Your first 2 seasons you were on fire with the team around you playing well. Gerrard and he formed a deadly partnership, short passing and moving. Torres strives off through balls, much like Ian Rush. They are not target men, we can ill afford to be playing this long ball tripe, something has to change, that something is the manager. There is no respect, passion, desire, hunger or tactical awareness from Hodgson.

The whole squad look like a Sunday league team. Hodgson is not respected outside England and it will be so hard to attract big name players.

I expect, that if things don't change immidiatly, a mass exodus at Liverpool. Sorry to sound so glum, I just don't see things looking up anytime soon.

Happy new year all, especially the Eds (Ed Edn Eddy)
Manager is my main concern.

Van Gaal im sure has no interest in LFC.
Boas signed extension to contract and happy working with "technically gifted" players. Breaking records etc. .Deschamps possibilty but can't see him "jumping now" as he wouldn't at the start of the season, and quoted that the approach from LFC was timed wrong. Rijkaards out of hours "habits" already ruled him out of the running. Pelligrina also ruled out and now in another job. Jurgen Klopp recently extended his tenure to 2014 so the list of "possibles" gets shorter. I suppose another downfall for us the fact that so many of our players are "over rated" and not the most gifted or tecnically skilled players we would like at LFC So will the REAL LFC please stand up and be counted.

Why do people think we will sign wolfswinkel, he played against us and didn't impress and hes out with that shoulder injury that he pick up against us.
he won't be good in the PL

what the? Are you mentally ill i do not think scouting is based on one game im pretty sure Commoli knows that! his goal scoring record is prime and hes young have you actually watched him play other than 2 games and as you said in one he got injured. Btw its a collar bone not just " shoulder injury " they usually heal in around 5-6 weeks. He's a born finisher and is recieving rave reviews in holland. So don't go on about the PL cos we all know the football played in the Pl is rubbish in comparison to spain that's why we do so crap in the world cup! Ricky is a top player and im really hoping we sign him !

He does well in lower leagues like the dutch league. come on look at babel he was great in the dutch league but has don't nothing in the PL. but the prem isn't nothing like the Spanish league, the spanish play the beautiful game but the English dont. as far as i remember the Spanish didn't really light up the world up did they. i just thought Ricky wasnt good enough on games i saw him. i can have an opinion.

Just an observation. If you listen to the interview on Sky Sports News called "Hodgson accepts fans' anger" he makes an unprompted reference to "the next seven games coming up".

There are seven games including the FA Cup tie in January and I think that he must have been given the ultimatum that results improve by the end of January or he's gone and that slip of the tongue has given this away.

A bit of an overreaction above. I think the point is that dirk kuyt had a superb goal record in holland and never hit the same heights. Not saying the same will be true of wolfswinkel and hopefully the difference between him and kuyt is that he's much quicker for the prem

{ed's note - I would prefer to bring in just one or two top quality players and use youngsters to fill in the gaps in the squad. I am not sure about Marveaux myself, but that is because I have never seen him play to judge him so I will just hope he turns out to be a top class player.}

Their are quite varied opinions of Marveaux. Some say he's their best player, other say he's useless. I guess we will find out soon. I just hope we buy someone for a decent amount of money. Not look for cheap bargains. Would love Honda but I don't think he'll come. We have to many players in the positions he plays.

Im just beginning to lose patience with liverpool.
marveaux never capped by france even when they had 23 players suspended. . and horau or whatever his name is. if we sign these players i bet ye in the summer ye will want to see the back of them, i know carlton cole is not great but whats to say hes he is better than these guys who knows.
keep this post in mind ed cause i will be proved right!
i prefer to give amoo r pacheco a game rather than sign these clowns!

{Editor's Note: Marveaux was injured for the French game that took place when the players were banned. I assume that you are not a Liverpool supporter - or is it now the in-thing to trash players before they have even signed for the club?}


I am a fan of liverpool ed (life long) i was being to harsh maybe but WOY came on the tv and i just snapped at the keyboard lol.
anyways i'm all for new signings but ed would you prefer to give the youth a chance first and then splashing the cash if not successful? {ed's note - I would prefer to bring in just one or two top quality players and use youngsters to fill in the gaps in the squad. I am not sure about Marveaux myself, but that is because I have never seen him play to judge him so I will just hope he turns out to be a top class player.}

This is not a CRISIS! . . . yes you're absolutely 100% correct Roy, it will only be a "crisis" if we slip into the bottom three, I mean a club like Liverpool has no devine right to think that it should be up nearer the top of the table as opposed to being down at the bottom . . that could be misinterpreted as an elitetist comment.

Speaking of "misintrepreted" I see you have backtracked from your comments on Thursday re the fans, I wonder if a certain "rumoured" meeting with the owners cleared the haze which obviously shrouds your views and vision . . Roy, do you like coffee? if the answer is yes, then wake up and smell it - the club ON the pitch is in CRISIS!

Forget your polite appraisals of the opposition, forget making yourself the cordially "old man" of football, liked by all, and not wanting to step on any toes, whilst you are still in a job, start focusing on the job at hand - managing Liverpool Football Club, instilling some passion and fight back into the players, and with that, restoring PRIDE back into the famous red shirt . . oh I forgot, that's probably not how you perceive your job, I suppose that's the job of the fans as well? Sorry Roy, I forgot again, You are trying to do your best!

As a true fan of LFC it isn't really in my character to call for the "removal" of our Manager, however with each passing day, and each faux pas filled press conference (not to mention poor team performance), I find myself facing reality that Roy simply isn't up to the task . .Roy do everybody a favour and not least yourself, resign and walk away with some dignity before the performances coupled with your comments leave NESV with no other option then to sack you.

Perfect post and sums up the reality we face with each passing day. .!

Mate do your homework?
Sylvain is a left sided midfielder ( that is where he will play for us )
Honda can litterally play anywhere he was a defensive midfielder for some of his career then for Japan he is a striker and for Moscow he almost has a free role but its mainly an attacking midfielder left sided
and finally Elia is a winger! right or left!
So we can sign ALL 3 and play them in different positions! !

You say Torres ain't fast, what? Let's get one thing straight, Torres is going through a bad patch but on his day, and hel have his day again, he is one of the best strikers and natural finishers in the world today, he is also one of the fastest players with the ball at his feet and is pacye without it which actually disent matter that much if youare a good footballer. Fowler wasn't that fast but he could keep the ball at his feet and could finish with either foot from anywhere on the pitch.

Watch nando play. He is a lot slower then he was. He just to have a quick burst of energy to outpace opponents. He hasn't got that anymore. Remember against tottenham, he got those two 1v1 chances, did you see that the defenders caught up with him. fowler has good feet but Torres doesn't.

I saw Torres get out paced by bramble! ! ! Just sell him now, the sulky w***er.

Next, buy Bale for 35m and Cavani from Palermo, and Kjaer from Wolfsburg. aLSO pALERMO YOUNGSTER PASTORE FOR 15M. AND YES, SELL OUR DEAD WOOD- MOST OF OUR SQUAD REALLY! !

{Editor's Note: Schweinsteiger is contracted until the end of June 2016; Aguero would cost £50M plus £200k per week; Higuain is injured; Torres is worth half what you suggest .............. I could go on.}

Hi everybody.
It seems to me that football fans never learn.It was just about 7 months ago that many fans were laughably duped by the two fellas "James007" and "Mr Broughton" about how LFC had been taken over by some Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), and how this was kept hush-hush so as "avoid selling clubs overinflating the prices of our targets".

James007, notably, maintained how the targets would be "secretly swooped for", and the whole thing made public after the closing of the transfer window.
And stupidly enough, some folks fell for it, hook, line and sinker.Much to my astonishment.

Well, as we all know how it eventually turned out, there was no "QIA", and certainly no transfers completed in clandestine fashion.
"James" and "Broughton" had fabricated a series of finely crafted lies. .and soon after quicky evaporated.

Now it seems like we've another versions of "James007" and "Mr Broughton" in Red1974 and kdkop. .albeit poor ones.
And interestingly enough, some seem to be already falling for it.lol.

A friendly though unsolicited advice:don't bite. .it's bait.
Red1974 and kdkop know h*ck all about the ins and outs at Anfield.

By the way, I doubt if Henry has seen the priest on a mountain of sugar as yet, hence he won't be pouring the white liquid in that bottle down the drain any time soon.

Very interesting quotes from a new interview with Kenny. Usually he puts out some support for Roy, but he chose his words very carefully, not mentioning Roy at all, more focusing on the club. Read what you will but when I read this it tells me Roy's exit could be imminent.

"Let's just press the pause button and throw all our efforts and energies into one basket.

"Everyone - whether players, supporters, staff or whatever - has to throw everything towards the one aim and that is to get us three badly needed points from the game against Bolton today.

"Because if everyone sticks together we'll have a better chance of getting those three points.

"Then if we want to have a discussion after that, we can.

"But the three points for the club is more important than any single person and how they feel.

"So let's forget the issues today and concentrate on getting those three points."

"It is about Liverpool Football Club right now - not about any individual person.

"If everybody does their job properly; if everybody sticks together; if the players excite the fans and the fans support the players and everyone is led in one direction, then we should get the result today.

"But without everybody being on the same page, it will make it a bit more difficult."

Ed what do u think bout owen coyle as a liverpool manager, hes team plays good attacking play, he is very vocal and players respect him, has done a great job at boltan in a short period of time with little r no budget and was a club in s* t? {ed's note - he is definitely someone we should be considering, he has impressed me greatly.}

I disagree as good as he has been for Bolton it will just be another Roy situation all over again, Bolton are a mid table team as are Fulham. Liverpool needs a bigger manager to attract world class players something I can't see Owen doing. {ed's note - the club attracts the players, not the manager. The difference between Roy and Coyle is that Coyle plays good attacking football, Roy is extremely defensive.}

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Roy has been given several chances in his long career to prove himself at top clubs. . Inter/ Lfc/ Blackburn (at a stretch). . . . .He's had 35 years in football management and the result is for all to see. Owen Coyle is still 'wet behind the ears'. . He's managed Burnley and Bolton and impressed the socks off me. . brought Burnley up and then moved onto Bolton and has done wonders with that team. .gets them playing well. attacking and their defensive displays are a lot better, they are harder to beat and the players WANT TO PLAY FOR Him, he must have good motivation and man management skills.

Or just change the formation to 4-1-2-3 and be creative with it .

I have heard and read that Hodgsons' close relationship with Comolli may see him survive the axe. Is this in anyway true, and do you know whether their relationship is indeed a close one, or just media bulldust as per usual? Happy New Year too!

It's useless to have Honda, Aguero, Elia but woy still at LFC. he could play Aguero as CB, Honda as RB, Elia as DM. so first thing first : KICK WOY OUT! (coz he won't quit)

Good News for Liverpool fans around the world. Barca will not be getting Torres in the summer because they're skint. I was told by a former Barca player they'll try to get Cesc cash+ player and don't be too shocked if mascherano ended up at Arsenal because he can't get a game at Barca

Now at times i look at things and think i am going mad because the facts are so in your face that a blind begger could spot them, Roy i reckon is a nice old man who for god knows what reason has and is heald in high regard with people who know football but his lack of medals and success over his club jobs is proof beyond anything that he is a better Big Sam but no Jose - or Alex - Or king kenny. the idea that its a better option to hire roy over kenny a man who proved as a player manager to be made of real skills is total madness to me. i am not a dreamer who thinks king kenny is the answer to all lifes wrongs but he has a dame site more chance of success than any other name mentioned right now and i include o'neil the french big nose etc etc because he has the fabric in his veins, and that is the x factor missing. Nando chose us because of the history and passion he choose us ahead of any other. . . i work as a gaffer in my job and manage and lead 100 plus staff when we trade and i can tell you passion and love for the task ahead is worth more than anything else because we as a people respond to passion and emotion. So king kenny will give nando a man to please that is worthy of his efforts and stevie will have his idol to impress and the blow ins will feed off it its so plain its driving me mental that its not happened. Roy i understand was a safe bet when rafa h*cked off (by the way let us down with his rants to be sacked for his pay off- Not cool rafa) roy had got fulham to a final by some run of luck but had a league away record that was like a car crash but the final made him a safe bet kenny was a legend but the risk of asking him to be one again was to big that makes sense but listen to the fans we are not the kind of fans who turn our backs on managers because we lose a game i mean we loved rafa for years until he finally won a game with the big four and never turned on him. but enough is enough we the club need the passion back first before we can plan the future lose by all means but die trying to win. Sanks would turb in his grave with what we are being given. Bye bye roy. Kenny will kick start the liver bird and add a deep voice to the kop its fading and we need him right now we need a legend to remind the players why they touch the sign and why we sing the song.

As i sit here in beautiful Queensland, enjoying a leisurly New years day I have had time to ponder this whole Liverpool situation. i am a follower of Liverpool, i have never seen a game live but since cardiff sold toshack to Liverpool in the 70's Liverpool has been my team.
I look back at the steel of Tommy Smith, the industry of Callaghan, the finishing of Rush, Aldridge, Dalglish, the fire of Souness, the passion of keegan(his dust up with bremner will always stick in my mind)-all these guys played with their hearts on their sleeves- and then i look at the over paid, spoilt lot of players we have today-how lucky they are to have such well paid jobs and how nice it must be to be able to tell them who you want to play with. How easy they find it to turn their backs on their paymasters when things go wrong.Well perhaps they need to swap places with vreal people for a week or 2-they need to realise how richly rewarded they are and also need to look at who has made that possible.The supporters! !
So stop blaming a crap manager(yes Roy is a disaster) but good and great players do not suddenly become bad players-play for your supporters, show them you care half as much as the supporters do and you can become world beaters again. Roy is just not good enough for Liverpool, but perhaps now all the players need to show that they are, otherwise i will have to start watching Aussie rules which would not be good! !they run along bouncing their balls! ouch

"Football is about how Liverpool used to be run. Can you imagine being part of Bill Shankly's or Bob Paisley's squad and stepping out of line? Those players were great but they knew who they were playing for and didn't dare disrespect the club"

This quote is from Ian Holloway, the manager I want to see standing in the Anfield dugout.

I agree with ed here. Aqua is a pussy and is no where near as good as Hazard. Hazard will be the next Robben. I think Torres is micheal owen part 2. A striker needs 2 things or one of 2 things. Which are strong and aerially strong, or fast. Torres has neither these things. I say sell him for 35-40 million. There are still few teams willing to pay that much. You could get 20 million from Kuyt, Babel, Jova and Aqua easily. Llorente, Sanchez and hazard would cost about 65 million all together. But the big difference between Llorente and Torres is that Llorente will be able to handle the pl when he's 30. Unlike nando. I'd get slated by everyone for saying Torres is micheal owen part 2
- - / / / / / / / - -
You say Torres ain't fast, what? Let's get one thing straight, Torres is going through a bad patch but on his day, and hel have his day again, he is one of the best strikers and natural finishers in the world today, he is also one of the fastest players with the ball at his feet and is pacye without it which actually disent matter that much if youare a good footballer. Fowler wasn't that fast but he could keep the ball at his feet and could finish with either foot from anywhere on the pitch.

Hey editor, a fine site you've got on the go there. - I'm an affronted LFC fan with an axe to grind. It took a while to write this so I hope you post it. I wan't to hear what LFC fans (and the others) think about this. here goes. I Just read the letter to NESV. LFC fan here - I'm responding to comments I've read from LFC & Non-LFC fans (there are only two types, are there not?) to this childish letter. Its the sheer bull it contains that bothers me - presenting LFC fans as clueless, reactionary, self-contradicting morons with no clue as what to do regarding the future of the club.'Dear Mr Hicks' was indeed cringeworthy, whatever the intention, as many who posted seemed to agree - but this latest fickle fan love-in? We got new owners. This is just a nonsense. Here's a breakdown of it for those that haven't read it (I suggest you do). If this is the voice of LFC fans, then we sound like clueless muppets.(1) The intro begins with 'control of the club and media management has been great', before going on to tell them (NESV) how to run the club and suggesting they are naive and being duped, using one poll (hilariously cited as 'polls show that 95%') that is not even referenced as its source. How the educated yanks must have laughed. So amateurish.(2) Inexperience - are you saying that Guardiola couldn't manage us? Thats what it reads as. You've narrowed our choices to Wenger, Ferguson, Mourinho or Ancelotti - or anyone from LFC who 'understands' LFC apparently. Is experience important or not? You haven't convinced me at all? do you even know? I know what you tried to say - that Roy's footballing philosophy is at odds with LFC. We can all agree on that (i hope) Try to explain that instead. Oh, by the way - Mr. 'Top Leagues' Wenger came from Japan, Ferguson from Scotland, Mourinho from Portugal, but all that is besides the point. Is it? hmmm. . I was sure you just said that. . .(3) Relationship with fans/ media- Again, no references - do I believe what you say here? or is it nonsense? there's no way to tell. Oh, and an 'inherent obligation' to take on Fergie in mind-games! That always worked well eh! Such a silly statement. I agree regarding Roy & the squad, he has flip-flopped regarding assessing the players & doesn't seem to know their strengths or even their best positions, apparently neither do you, you make that clear in the next section. As for the 3 'arrogance' comments listed. 1 is paraphrased and manipulated by leaving out text, 2 is indeed ludicrous (again, if its real - no proof as with much of this letter) and 3 is TRUE! unless you're delusional. If you think John Henry watches every kick and reads every word like us then you're being naive. You must prove your claims as true, otherwise its assumed you're just a knee-jerk.(4) Signings- So, PK for Insua was mad, I agree. AA for Poulson - I'd have kept AA but we needed a holding mid. Hasn't worked out so far. BJ-Buy Richard Wright! lol. I'm saying nothing! RM-great player, yes, played out of position, yes. Play Aurelio, Cole or Babel there! WHAT! since WHEN! You suggest doing what Roy does! As for VDV, I'm a long-term fan of his but suggesting you all thought to buying him was important pre-season? sure. Hindsight's 50/ 50.(5) Stats - true. yep. I feel the pain too. .(6) Overall, a childish joke of a letter. What makes it all worse is that it opens with a boast of the 'knowledgeable', 'intelligent', 'patient' LFC fan. These fans do exist, yet if this amatuerish letter is written by the intellectual elite at LFC then I'd hate to meet the idiots who follow the club! If this represents the views of all LFC fans (which I overwhelmingly doubt) then i dunno any more! Take a step back and read your letter again, are you Roy? You display all the attributes you criticise. You can chalk it all up to Contradictions if you want (your letter is full of them, for such a critic), Inexperience - also clearly shown by you, no sourcing or suggestions beyond 'sack Roy'. In fact its impossible to take your letter seriously. You are dealing with very wealthy, professional people here, try to remember that. Bad media handling (call them misled and naive but doing a great job?!? not to mention the 'inherent obligation' comment). Poor signings (I'm still mad we didn't get Richard Wright - if only you were the boss!) and you compound it all by suggesting some more 'players out-of-position' ideas that Roy may have missed! Honestly, I want Roy gone too. But not because of what YOU WROTE HERE! If the future of LFC is one of more moron-led reactionary campaigns against the manager then its gonna be a long road ahead, a road full of division. Whatever happened to 'You'll Never Walk Alone' - My Arse! These people [or person] have some nerve representing themselves as fans, it takes more than the shirt and a ticket. Don't sign that crap folks. Hodgsons will be gone in due course, but how to weed out these moronic parasites? Now! WHO WROTE THIS TRIPE! Michael Allen (if that's your real name). . I hope you're a 10-year old, I'd forgive you then - you certainly operate (and write) like one. So Roy hasn't had the famous Anfield support - is this the 'famous Anfield support' Michael? If it is, then Roy is only guilty of telling the truth. Before you answer that - you said the letter was NOT based on reaction to the Wolves game. Which suggests you wanted him out even before those comments were made, and have for some time. Some support, if this claim is true. I suggest however that it was actually written based on a reaction to Wolves - just pointing out that you're full of it. It seems like it was written in a real hurry, that's for sure. This letter, and your opinions are just like our defence - full of holes. I'd better go, this is too long as it is (I spent the New year countdown writing this - please print it - that's a sad tale).Thank you,

barry h

Ed wouldn't it make sense for NESV to spend big in january on very good young players as from the beginning of the 2011-2012 season, wouldn't UEFA start to account for transfers within the financial fair play rule which would mean that we will have to recruit players in the summer from player sales and profit we make but not through any additional investment from NESV as they wouldn't be allowed to do so by the FFPR from UEFA? {ed's note - that depends on lots of factors though. The more players we buy, the more we pay in wages, lowering our profits to start with. It is a chicken and egg situation, do you buy players to chase success or hope the success comes and spend the extra money you get then?}

If the rumours are true and NESV are getting rid of Roy. Then my question is why wait? If he is not good enough to manage us now why wait 2-3 months for the right person (which i understand) when they have give him a vote of no-confidence.

We have to get a caretaker manager in now Kenny if need be. I don't want Kenny to stay in the long term but he is needed now and could not do any worse.

It wouldn't supprise one bit if Hodgson resign's in the next week or so.

I took this of RAWK

Tony Barrett - The Times

Roy Hodgson has apologised to Liverpool fans for questioning their support, but his contrition has come too late to safeguard his future as manager after the club's owner, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), determined that he is not the man to take the club forward.


Though Hodgson is only six months into the three-year contract he signed last summer, he will be ousted as soon as a high-calibre replacement can be identified and recruited.


The 63-year-old has made it clear that he will not tender his resignation despite presiding over Liverpool's worst start to a season for 57 years and his relationship with the club's supporters breaking down, so FSG will effectively take the decision out of his hands by actively targeting his successor.


Should the right man become available Hodgson's departure will be confirmed before the end of the season, although FSG will continue to bide its time in a bid to ensure that the problems facing the club are not exacerbated by any short-term decisions, as was the case last summer after the removal of Rafael Benítez.


Hodgson was in damage-limitation mode yesterday, apologising to supporters for his assertion that they had failed to back him. But his remorse appeared to cut little ice, with an online petition calling for his immediate dismissal attracting more than 11,000 signatories and demanding "a manager of greater quality".


Liverpool's 1-0 defeat at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Wednesday was a setback too far for both fans and owners in a season in which embarrassing results have become a regular occurrence.


Hodgson attempted to build bridges before today's home match against Bolton Wanderers. "It is a cliché but we do need time, patience and support, and the support from our fans at this club is of vital importance because that is what has made the club great through the years, " he said yesterday.


"We need that support and we need them [the supporters] to get behind us because things aren't going well."

I find it hard to believe that NESV will give Roy power over the transfers if there gonna sack him. So either his sacking will happen over the weekend or we won't be buying anybody until the summer, in my opinion. We need to buy a Striker, this will be the most important signing Liverpool will ever make, because this could be the difference between finishing in the top half and, dare I say it, Relegation.

Right here's a thought . .

Why don't we all in tomorrows game get behind the team and even Roy and see what difference it makes . . probably none with Roy's tactics but least then the press can't put a slant on it that backs Roy and proves to Roy and the board the performances are down to Roy not the atmosphere

Thanks ed(s) been some great entertainment through tough times this year keep up the great work.

Here's to a wonderful 2011 to each and everyone of us LFC faithful.
