Liverpool FC

[kinboshi]

But whatever what you say, we have always been performing and been expecting to perform like we did tonight. It didn't take Woy's skills to take us this far...

[MANTIS01]

Cole and Jovanavic were both free transfers so not exactly overpriced.
Ive been a Liverpool fan since the gloomy Graeme Souness days, Roy Hodgson is the worst manager we've had since then.

It doesnt matter which way you paint the picture this current team should not be 3 points off the relegation zone.

No shit?

[MANTIS01]

Hang on.

Ngog was one of the best players on the pitch tonight, and then he was subbed for that excuse of a player, babel.

Just to clarify. Ngog is lol. The kid's record is 22 goals in 105 apps and zero international caps. He starts up front at Anfield for Liverpool FC in a game they need to win. Look at any of the big teams and the calibre of the strikers that start their home games. I agree he was the best Liverpool player on display and that is just terrible.

[MANTIS01]

Also, Johnson has actually lost a lot of weight since the early part of the season when he clearly shouldn't have been playing?

Pleased to hear that half way through the season Glen Johnson has finally decided to eat less and exercise more. Great spirit and determination.

Mantis, do you think Liverpool would have more or less points so far this season if Rafa was still in charge?

where do you see a Roy lead team finishing this season?

Agree with the Babel comment, but, really?

Depends what Henry decides to do in the next few weeks mate and whether he wants to back Hodgson in the window. I imagine that is a serious decision the owner is wrestling with right now. I think Liverpool fans should forget about Benitez.

Yes Rafa is gone, and Roy is new, but like he does himself you seem to point the finger of blame at every corner except Roys.

Whatever the situation has been off the field and the strength of the squad on it, Roy has done badly this season. The players he has at his disposal should have a lot more points in the bag and home losses to Blackpool and Wolves just arent good enough. Never have i seen before the Liverpool fans have such a short fuse with a manager. This is Liverpool, all managers are supported to the hilt by the fans and given time, sometimes too much time. So why are so many calling for his head already, these fans are no mugs, no gloryhunters, they know their football. Maybe Roy just isnt good enough for LFC.

Roy will be leaving, its just a matter of when as far as i see. Fans assumed that when H&G left that was it, we had reached bottom and it was time to come back up, well we now see that we havent hit bottom yet. We can see the future and it does look brighter but we still have some distance to travel, i dont know who is right for the job, i dont think kenny is the answer, but Roy will be with us no longer than the end of the season and i hope Sammy Lee is sent packing as well.

Having seen a lot of this over the years at my club, let me tell you that half this team don't want to play for the manager. He hasn't got the dressing room, its clear as day

This.

Unfortunately the likes of Carragher (who was getting less and less playing time under Benitez and now has a new contract) seems to have a huge say in what's what.

Some of that stat work is irrelevant.

25 of those starts were for PSG bringing 3 goals. All of which he was under 20 for.

At Liverpool he's scored 19 in 80 games. Not bad for £1.5m coming from French reserves to an EPL top 4 club (at the time). I have no doubt at all this kid will turn into an excellent player.

[The Baron]

Terrible.

Woy has to look at what he's doing? Maybe Mantis will tell us different...

Nah, I think he's under serious pressure now. But whatever happens to the manager it wont change the fact the current Liverpool FC side is complete shite. I mean your centre back pairing is a joke. Kyrgiakos is just a donkey and the best coach in the world wont make him anything else. Why is Johnson so fat? What's wrong with Torres? I mean why not play Dalglish up front cos he used to be good once as well. Cole and Jovanovic both overpriced imo. N'Gog is lol. Babel on the bench. The whole squad is devoid of passion and desire.

LOL pretty obvious from your own post that the problem is related to not wanting to play for the manager?

This.

Bad style, bad tactics, bad man management, bad tranfers, bad interviews and today an absolute shocker of a comment about the fans so just bad in every aspect of his reign.

Bodgson out!

Agree on one front. Some players will go if he comes back and we have to accept continuously biased press negativity and an "us vs them" mentality all over again.

However, no one better is available right now, he loves the club, he'll have finances (when he's backed his record is excellent), he's unemployed, he's local and he's waaaaaaay better than Hodgson. We could do a lot worse.

I'd rather someone new but w/e, beggars can't be choosers.

We've signed Sylvain Marveaux - laters Babel

[77dave]

Liverpool have all but concluded the signing of Rennes midfielder Sylvain Marveaux, with the player a guest in the directors' box for last night's 0-1 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

 The Frenchman is capable of playing both on the left wing and at full back, but generally turns out in the former position - from where he scored ten goals in Ligue 1 last season.

Liverpool have longed for an outlet on the left hand side of their midfield for a very long time, and Marveaux's pace and ball control will be valuable assets for the Reds.

With his contract with Rennes ending in summer 2011, Liverpool have secured his signature for just £1.5m, but cannot expect immediate results.

Marveaux is currently out of action with a groin complaint that has troubled him intermittently recently, and Roy Hodgson will hope Liverpool's revamped medical team can manage it effectively.


Does this end us being linked to Ashley Young?
