Liverpool FC

[Pogba4Now]

hodgson was a good teacher and manager of less than star players... great at fulham and would be equally adept with any mid to low table team. liverpool needs a manager with a proven record of success at the highest level, not just good performances but trophies

Almost Liverpool players are "less than star players". Liverpool's downfall is not something to do with the manager. Its to do the quality of the team. If you look at your lineup, the players are of similar quality as Fulham except Gerrard and Torres.

Krygiarkos, Konchesky, Carragher, Jovanovic, N'Gog. How are you gonna challenge for the UCL if you're playing players like these on a regular basis? IMO Benitez ruined the team. You guys had a lot of good players that you could've used well. Bellamy, Kewell, Keane etc. They were sold and average or declining players (J. Cole, Zenden etc) were brought in.

And Aquilani: What a waste. How can you spend 20 millions on him?

Gerrard and Torres? Only?

Half a team-thread, seems appropriate.

Half a team -thread.

...IMO Benitez ruined the team.....

The board room was constantly blocking him. He was forced into situations that were against his wishes. He had very little freedom to manage the way he wanted to.

......And Aquilani: What a waste. How can you spend 20 millions on him?

A desperation move after Xabi Alonso was forced to leave us by Real Scum-drid. We had to bring in someone to appease Mascherano(HAHAHA, look at him now, rotting on the Barca bench...HAHAHAHAHA). That and his bad luck with injuries.

I've said this befoer and I'll say it again....people kept putting us in the same league as Chelsea or Arsenal. Under previouis management, we were not. We could not spend like Chelsea and we were not give time to build up youth stars because of the owner's rising debts. Now, we are in a similar situation to those other clubs....but we need time to catch up.

Gerrard and Torres? Only?

I know who you're thinking of: Meireles

Ok maybe he could be added to these 2 as well, but he's hardly impressed so far. He's been average as the rest.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

b. It would be appropriate for a number of other threads as well.ex: Dortmund, Inter.

Dortmund? There's no Dortmund thread here. There are no Dortmund fans here.

I think his username was Voltaic Borusse. I don't know if he's still around.

He's top quality to me. but being the best in Liverpool in this state is quite difficult i think.

And if im not mistaken, hes playing in a different position that he usually played.

...And another disappointing match for Liverpool. Well, be happy that the legend Dalglish is back although I don't think the coach is the problem to look at here.

 

[1966+2006]

So, as Liverpool fans, what's your take on Hodgson's sacking and his replacement?

 

[newbie original]

He wasn't given enough time. It wasn't working(no denying that) but he wasn't given enough time to fix it.

People are backing Dalglish....for what, I don't know.

I would expect Torres to leave in the summer. Infact, if we loose another 2-3 games within the next 3-4 weeks, there's a chance that he could be transferred in this January transfer window.

 

[1966+2006]

I think you'd actually benefit from selling Torres, to be honest.

hah cheeky

 

[newbie original]

We have now lost both games to Blackpool this season.

I can't wait for this season to end.

 

[newbie original]

So, upcoming Merseyside Derby vs Everton.

Needless to say, it is a MUST-WIN game. Let's see if Dalglish is able to inspire his team to victory and avoid the season sweep at the hands of a city rival.

Table:
Stndg.....TEAM.......P......GDiff.....Pts
12.........Everton....21......-2........25
13.........Liverpool...21......-4........25

SLAP!!!

Liverpool 1-0 Everton, after 36 minutes.

Goal Scored by Raul Meireles, 29'.

TAKE THAT!

 

[Pogba4Now]

1 goal means nothing. His performance is still average.

 

[newbie original]

So 1-0 becomes 1-2 in less than 10 minutes. Dirk Kuyt then equalizes....reminding everyone that he still plays for Liverpool.

We should have had this game in the bag. I can sense both teams now sitting back and satisfying themselves with 1 point.

Really, this was a must-win game for us.

Today was a great win and some spirit is back in the team. Let's see if they can start to turn things around now.
