Looking down... yes we are in 19th
Much has been written in recent months about our beloved Liverpool FC. Most have suggested that our demise is unstoppable & has been coming for a while. The wider football family has largely taken great satisfaction in our unusual lowly position.
TV pundits, journalists, opposing managers & fans all seem to have taken a collective delight in our plight. The topic on every one’s lips is “What is happening to Liverpool FC?” Sitting in nineteenth position in the Premier League is a first for our club. We have listened and read about who is to blame for this, Hicks & Gillett, Purslow, Rafa, Moores, Torres etc etc.
These debates give endless column inches, endless minutes on SKY. When you are second from bottom of the league the blame game wont deliver much needed points. Yes its points Liverpool requires – FACT. Starting with the ‘BIGGEST’ member of Fergie’s fan club on Sunday – Big Sam’s Blackburn. All red’s fans know what Rovers will bring to the table on Sunday. The team needs to be prepared to dismantle this plan and stamp their own authority on the game.
Across the wonderful web, polls are already cropping up which suggest our manager’s reign may not stretch too far into the future. Until Mr Henry & the board decide otherwise, we must pray that Roy starts to see the fruits of his reported labour. The boss claimed Sunday’s performance against our Mersey rivals was our best of the season, erm… eh… no Roy.

STELLA ARTOIS WORLD DRAUGHT MASTERS
We need Roy OUT if we are to have a chance. He’s clueless and offers no reassurance to the players. End of!
Interesting to hear the throw away comment by Rafa about talking to some players about the new medical staff. perhaps all is not good in that department
i believe its not just about passion but some more would help, the Qaulity of some of our players are sub standard, some left over from what rafa left behind & some that have since come in, for me if we got a manager & we have that lacks passion & presents himself as dull then its hardly surprising that the team reflects that on the pitch.
I don’t care about intangibles like “passion” and “determination”. I want to see a side full of athleticism and quality!
Ragish stuff off what has roy hodgson done wrong he doesnt have anything to work with you shudnt pass comment on something you have no idea about!
King Kenny currently not doing anything major with LFC…perhaps roy can appoint him as a special assistant/trainer anything to get him a role with the LFC squad..i feel his presence would be more than enough to trigger the players and inject some passion into them, esp players with low sense of confidence & belief at the moment..
all these talks bout sacking roy will not happen until january at least…and we have to stick with what we have until jan transfer…but between now & jan, we need to improve…we cant remain on 19th till Jan or else no big name players in a right state of mind would wanna join us & fight a relegation…
and i really wish Roy would stop coming out the papers and defend his players like he did after sunday’s match…cant say BS like the players played well (second half or not) cos the fact was, as everyone knows, we were horrible against everton..we have nothing to offer at them…its been all everton from first whistle till last..there was no delivery to torres..the crosses into box were terrible..Gerrard couldnt get a single shot right…and carra…omg…his body language completely exposed what he’s gonna do or who he’s gonna pass the ball to…roy should never attempt to play him down the right ever again…
its time roy…to play an attacking formation…give it all out..and issue the players an ultimatum…cole & meireless must improve their form if we are ever gonna have a shot at equaling or better our table finish last season…
how can they show passion when they are coached by a headless chicken like roy? fire him pronto
