Some news from Ressies

Mavinga has had a moan at Hodgson saying he gives preferential treatment to the english players ""I'm disappointed, angry, want to leave. Roy prefers Eng players to foreign" http://www.francefootball.fr/FF....ir.html

and Gulacsi is keen to go out on loan with euro clubs wanting him as 1st choice and his agent says his development will suffer "waiting for an injury or red card"...

Thats bound to happen for the first few weeks though.
When Rafa arrived 4 or 5 Spanish players came straight away along with his backroom staff.

Not like the French to moan

I cannot believe there are people on here having a go at Roy. Given the time he has had in the job, the limited resources in terms of transfer budget, internal issues with the ownership, uncertainty over the plans of our top stars etc etc; does anyone honestly think that, other than a win vs. Arsenal, we could have had a better more positive start to the season? Absolutely not! The man deserves a HUGE amount of credit for what he has done so far.

Im not sure people these days are actually having a go at Hodgson - cant remember anyone saying they wont support the manager

The next few month's are going too be hard on the club,and the manager, the players and us the fans.
We are in for a bumpy ride but I do think we will come through it stronger at the end.
I think Hodgson has a thankless task right now, he's a better man than me for taking it on.. he might make the odd mistake but hey.. we are still LFC.. the best.

I will be positive when i see things to be positive about dawsino - the latest news about masher just adds to the problems we face

by **dawson99** » Mon Aug 23, 2010 5:31 pm

Masher's a co.ck, hes wanted to leave for ages, we need to get rid sooner tho, nhot last day of the transfers....

by **Benny The Noon** » Mon Aug 23, 2010 5:32 pm

Yeah but he is a world class player mate and one i wanted to keep .

Well it may only be two league games in, but he's on a roll already

Worst Liverpool Premiership starts (2 games in)

10/11 : P2 W0 D1 L1 F1 A4 PTS 1 (GD -3)
03/04 : P2 W0 D1 L1 F1 A2 PTS 1 (GD -1)
97/98 : P2 W0 D1 L1 F2 A3 PTS 1 (GD -1)

Every other season has seen us pick up three points or more after two games, and if some are thinking "it was a tough start", is that to say we've never had demanding starts before?!?! Villa away and Chelsea at home in 07/08 and 03/04, Southampton away and Arsenal at home in 98/99 (before Southampton became complete pants), Boro away and Arsenal at home (Boro a decent side then)

That was a terrible display against citeh, and Woy did as much as Rafa often did in the face of adversity - nothing. He too stuck by his misfiring guns to the bitter death, changes almost an afterthought as though we were winning 3-0 not losing 3-0 - as we were when the first change was FINALLY made. I don't agree with making three changes at half-time, too risky with the chance of red cards and injuries, but you do need to react to the way the team's playing if not as much then more than the scoreline.

I expect it's no skin of Woy's nose, he's used to losing away from home and probably just wrote it off in his mind as a bad day at the office against a big spending team. Did he not see them against spudz!?!? That wasn't a contest, that was see how good we can make citeh look. As for Mascherano's "head not in the right place", even I'll confess he is a professional and would give his all. I suspect that is smokescreen talk for Mascherano wanting out, Woy not wanting to damage his asset on the point of sale and a chance for Mascherano to see that he doesn't have to be part of Woy's plans so pushing him towards making a decision.

As well as the mistake of playing 4-4-2 he has now said he played agger on Monday against medical advice - that's putting your foot in mouth moment .

by **In and Out** » Wed Aug 25, 2010 11:06 am

Is this the 'lets crucify Roy thread'?

Benny your foots been in your mouth for at least half of the 10,000 posts you've made in this place over the years!

Hodgson is very frank and honest with the media, to be honest I find it very refreshing. I like the fact he comments on transfer speculation and stories in the press rather than leaving us fans to play the guessing game.
