Not about winning: just about playing !

Hello guys,

Again i’m watching our Reds facing Everton. And again our football is sad, boring and boldless. In fact, we’re still not playing football…

We are all happy to be only focus now on football. A new owner has come, and we all hope that he will bring back glory days of the club… But he can’t do everything, and reality is that we play a really poor football.

We’re still making ridiculous defensive mistakes. Our first passes in attack are still bad. We are not creating moves and actions. Our attacks are stereotypical and are easy for defense to cancel. Torres is still alone in attack.
Who is not eating his fingers when watching our Reds?

Hodgson say “we need time”: new coach, new players, new way? Let’s be realistics: since the start of the season, only two matches gave me smiling and hoping: Arsenal and Trabz at home. Only two…

The problem is that we don’t play football. In those times of trouble (and we all hope it’s over now), without speaking about winning, we could at least expect passion, spirit, desire of building a victory. But we only have seen that two times…

I know that blaming Hodgson, and only him, is easy and coward.

Players are responsible too. They are on the pitch, they have to play football. But the coach gives his plans, his way of seeing football. He’s there to make them a winning eleven, with his tactical and mental approach of victory…
Sometimes, when it doesn’t work, players are rebelling, and trying to “make” something else on the pitch. And when they make it, it already meens that coach has lost the dressing rooms. But those kind of reactions are very rare…

This afternoon, when you look our starting eleven, we’ve got 8 players who are used to play together. Only Konchelsky, Cole and Mereiles are new players…

How is it possible that with 8 on 11 we are not “playing” football ? Does it mean that Roy’s way is inhibiting our football, and frustrating our hopes ?

Players have now the choice to rebel and try to play an “other” football (and i think they will not because they respect the coach and his tactical approach). Whatever the chose, for my part, it only means that, after 10 games, Roy’s way is not what ne need…

The football we were expecting is not the the football we are seeing since the begining of the season. And even if we are not the club which use to fire his manager after 3 or 4 months, it’s the only solution now, before it’s late…

We want to win titles yes of course, we all know that the minima, on the pitch, is making us proud of our players. Because they wanted, because they tried, because they smelt passion, bold and team spirit all match long…

With Roy’s way, we don’t see that. He should go…
