Liverpool - Look on ye mighty and despair!

[Kiss_The_Goat]

Scouse fans are freaking out at losing a game at home.

When your a mid table team, you lose games at home fairly often, they need to get use to it.

Im 99% certain that if Kenny Dalgliesh had become manager, they would be in the relegation zone right now.

Roy got them moving in the right direction just a few weeks ago, there form was becoming worryingly good. They dont play for fucking ages then they lose 1 match and its the end of the world.

Fuck off Liverpool

or not. 3 off the drop zone. snigger.

I hope they appoint Dalgliesh! That'll guarantee they go down. Would be hilarious!

Cards on table, I can't abide LFC's fans, but any fans at any club would be close to mutiny after home defeats to:

1. Northampton - especially given the wide open nature of the LC this year
2. Blackpool - who were only 18 months ago bookies' favourites to go down to League 1, and
3. Wolves - who were bottom at the time of playing them.

I went on there to try & get some of the free michael shields they're advertising. Don't know what they do but I'm not going without.

he's right tho...i kinda feel badly for him. He's had the deck stacked against him, and not having the foresight to see that might be hubris, but...Liverpool as a club, and as fans..seem to have been courting failure the last 18 months. They WANT it...and they are getting it in spades. And their players are delivering on that desire. Interesting.

His grovelling to Taggart has been bizzare and inexcusable though, especially for someone in that job. For all of Rafa's faults at least he had a healthy hatred of Baconface.

The writing was on the wall when all and sundry took Joe Cole to be their Messiah four or five months back. How an out-of-form Chelsea reject was meant to turn them into title contenders I'm not sure.

Konchesky's mum didn't help things either though mind.

I can remember the various 'experts' on Talksport telling the world how much better he was than David Silva; "I mean who's David Silva..?" Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaa etc.

They REALLY said that?????

Hodgson is definitely the wrong target - I feel sorry for him cleaning up Rafa's mess. In some ways I don't know how they managed to consistently finish 4th and do well in the Champions' League for so long: Houllier and Benitez were both awful in the transfer market.

The first signs of the inevitable came last season when they finished 7th. Hodgson was quite correct to criticse Benitez's transfers back in November, and yet somehow Benitez then got an apology out of him.

This (http://www.footbo.com/Teams/Liverpool/Transfers) covers most of the Benitez years, but other than Torres and Alonso its hard to pick out resounding hits. Benitez spent £70m on Keane, Babel, Aquilani and Johnson. Only Johnson is a regular, and even then he's hardly world class. There are plenty of undiscloseds - how much did the likes of Riera and Lucas cost?

Without digging into Houllier's record, this gives you an idea of a typical summer's activity for Gerard: http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/latest-n ... s-for-reds . (Unhappily for Villa, Gerard is about to get up to his old tricks for them: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba ... ofana.html).

Their squad doesn't anywhere near match their ambitions, and Hodgson clearly doesn't have the budget to sort it out in the short term. The signings he has made are trying to plug the holes with what he can get. Woy did a great job at Fulham, and given time he might be able to turn things round, but it doesn't matter who is manager for the time being - no way is the squad that Benitez left or that they have now good enough for top 4 or even top 6.

I see the bollox is now linking them with a 'come and get me' plea from none other than Daniel Sturridge, God's self-appointed chosen footballer, who has apparently started 2 Premier games in 2 seasons in the very weak promised land of Chelsea.

Ideal match.
