What shall I say?

Don’t even have energy for a match report after the loss to Stoke.

It had been 26 years since Stoke last beat us, that is a statistic that says a lot. It not just losing that bother’s me but if we had played some good football and we were unlucky I say OK and take the loss.

Let us be honest with ourselves we have been lucky this season judging by the way we have played we were lucky to get 3 points at Bolton, 1 point at Wigan and we almost got 1 at United.

With the exception of last Sunday’s game against Chelsea and the one against Steaua Bucharest I can’t think of any other game that we played to the Liverpool standard.

Roy is a nice guy but I am afraid that he is not the right man for Liverpool.

  1. Well maybe the Blackburn game was a good one too but the record is pathetic.In Roy We NEVER Trusted.. RoyOut the sooner the better,he has nothing more to give whatsoever.I really don’t see the point.Tough times for the club but I beleive we will have only good days ahead..YNWA

    After the Chelsea’s victory, i wanted to believe that “something” was starting. As if Roy’s way could finally make us hoping a good football.

    But when you look our victory against Napoli, we didn’t play well and scored because of their mistakes. If you look our victory against Bolton, we didn’t play well.

    In fact, Antoine, as you say (and as i say too) we performed only against Chlesea, Bucarest and you can add Arsenal.

    I don’t understand Roy way of football and his way to defend it in medias. When we play bad he said that we were unlucky, it’s not deserved, and more: we played well.

    Come on Roy, be honnest, you’re not the man to coach Liverpool. Fans are not fucking blind: and if they sing Kenny’s name, it’s not to disturb the players, it’s simply because we want what you can’t give us: playing football with bold, heart, passion and fighting spirit.

  3. Roy Must Go for the sake of Liverpool. Pathetic performance. We cannot rely on Gerard and Torres all the time. Football is a team sport and you need 11 players to perform. Not 2.

    Roy is slow to turn things around during matches. He seems to have a problem with substitutions. As days go by, we seems to be playing more and more like Fulham with long balls and no build up play.

    Simply put, Roy is not the man for Liverpool.

  4. I hate to say this but last night Utd were down 2-0 and outplayed for 75 mins. With only 15 mins that they had the game in hand they secured their point and almost had Villa cried for nothing. Straightfully I’m f***ing jealous with their fighting spirit which I barely see in our squads under Roy’s.

  5. Not Kenny, at least not as full managaer. However, give him caretaker position till the summer so that he has NO pressure on him and that the media can’t crucify his rep as we’re actively searching for the “right man” all the time. This way Kenny can use his abilities to enthuse and guide our somewhat lack lustre “stars” and all the while we can look for someone worth investing in to see our team come back to the glory days we all want. Who that is, I have my opinions but I’m sure we all do and thats for another headline. Not asking for Roy to go but in all honesty, I don’t have faith in him. As a scouser, I’ll never call for my manager to be sacked. If he stays he gets my support and I can’t do any more than that.
    YNWA and keep safe. Lest we forget!!!

  6. Can someone explain to me what has changed since our win over Chelsea? We had nearly the same lineup today, so what changed? I don’t think Roy is the one to lead Liverpool to the top again, but how much of this can we blame on the manager? I really just don’t understand how he could get it so right against an in form Chelsea side yet fail hopelessly against Stoke?

    We have had some great individual performances in the past few games which has helped, but is it the tactics that are preventing us from hitting top form consistently, or is it the players?

    Rafa suffered from the same thing in his last season. We were a rather stagnant and average Liverpool, as we still are for the most part. We weren’t playing good football and we were usually grinding out what few results we got. Same this season. Too inconsistent.

  7. When wigan, stoke and even blackpool are more cohesive and in sync then I am afraid there is only one person to blame. Roy got his 10 games plus more, and at least from my perspective it is unfortunately time to consider new management… Too many long balls, no forward movement, desperate passing… Not Liverpool quality I am afraid…

  8. For the game before this Stoke debacle the excuse was tiredness. This time I think I’ll go out on a limb and say the excuse should be brianless. We had no idea what to do at the start, after the first goal and right all the ay to the end. The Chelsea result was to be honest a one half performance. We won all the 50/50 balls, never gave chelsea any time on the ball, use the flanks, passed like we had glue on the boots…… then the tables turned. Out opponents are doing to us what we did to Chelsea. And we have no idea how to counter it. To slow or speed up the pace. To stretch the opposition. To find the holes. We did nothing since the 2nd half against chelsea. I’ve got to be honest we have been crap. We score in the 7th minute and do nothing after that. We talk about the Stevie G blast against the upright. The truth is we didn’t deserve to win. We have no idea what we’re doing. And it’s terrible to watch. The players, the coaches… all just lost. What’s happening? It’s really difficult to watch. We’re talking about halves and minutes of brilliance. We’re Liverpool. We should be ripping them apart from the get go. At Anfield. Away. All the time just winning. Beautifully, with relentless hardwork or just ugly, But winning. We’re probably going to win big against the hammers but what about the games after that? If we had won we would have gone to 5th. Think about it boys. We won 3 to move out of the relegation zone and threw it all away with 2 of the worst Liverpool performances ever. Thank god you have fans like us who won’t let the team ever walk alone. We have enough well paid individuals to sort this out then to listen to simple fans like us, some from the other side of the world leave desperate comments like these.

  9. “It was always going to be a tough task and I knew we would be hard-pushed to win that battle but I thought we dealt with the pressure reasonably well.

    “Once they scored it was going to be an even further uphill battle.”

    This is what Roy had to say after the game.

    We are Liverpool…other teams should be scared of us and not the other way round dear Mr Hodgson. Please make way for a manager with a winning mentality, what we currently have is a manager with a small club mentality and this is going to lead us nowhere. That’s the first step NESV should make.

    Yesterday Stoke drew us to their game and beat us at it. We should be playing one touch pass and go football and not kicking long balls like Wimbledon in the 80s.

  10. Amanda, we let him off against Man City and Man United etc. But now we’ve lost one too many games and it’s not good enough.

  11. We, as fans, helped to oust Hicks and Gillett. It is our duty to our club to let it be known that Roy is not right for Liverpool.

    The performances have been below standard, forget the results!

    Let our voice be heard!

    Roy must go, kenny for the interim – then we can see!

  12. To those that “don understand” I beleive most will tell you that the Chelsae game, far from thinking he was the right man for the job, wsa nothing more than a temporary reprieve, the one game, ONE GAME, this season where he got his tactics right and the players were always going to be up for it. Its clear against the likes of Wigan and Stoke they are not, and that is no-ones fault but Hodgsons. He is the manager, the motivator. He is failing.

    Leave now, and leave us with some dignity.
