Tony Cascarino has lambasted Roy Hodgson’s managerial reign at Anfield, suggesting the under-fire Liverpool boss is failing the club’s rich footballing traditions.

The former Republic of Ireland international claims the results under the ex-Fulham manager have not been good enough, but even more alarmingly for the club’s fans, are the manner in which these poor results have been achieved.

Citing the drab 0-0 draw against Utrecht on Wednesday night, the much maligned football pundit believes Hodgson’s tactics are far too similar to those he implemented at Craven Cottage, and criticises him for turning the footballing institution that is Liverpool into a “bigger-budget Fulham”.

Cascarino told the Times: “Any Liverpool manager has a duty to play with a certain style: fluent, attractive, attacking, passing football.

“Roy Hodgson is not only failing with the results, he's failing in his duty to the club's traditions and to the fans, and that's a pretty serious combination. If you haven't got style, you at least need results.

“The goalless draw against Utrecht in the Europa League on Wednesday confirmed that Hodgson's cautious tactics and conservative attitude have permeated the whole squad: because he picked a second-string team and the football was as unambitious and unexciting as it is when the first XI take to the field.

He continued: “Nine away games, one win and six losses is dreadful. That's relegation form, and even if you could argue that Liverpool no longer have a squad good enough for the top four, they ought to be challenging for the top six.

“It's not a new problem for Hodgson. With Fulham his record was: 2008-09, three away league wins; 2009-10, one away league win. It has to be the manager's tactics.

“Hodgson has quickly turned Liverpool into a bigger-budget Fulham: they go out, away from home, not to lose. They should be going out to win.

“Imagine Manchester United or Arsenal playing such dull football, given their reputation and past success.

“It wouldn't be tolerated. Nor should it be at Anfield even if the club isn't the force it once was.

“That's no excuse for failing to entertain and failing to act like the big team Liverpool still are.

He added: “Hodgson remains inflexible, conservative, old-fashioned.”

Tony who?

You don't know who Tony Cascarino is?

Played for Ireland, Chelsea, Villa and a few French sides. I think he played for Celtic too. Anyway, he was a decent centre forward, especially in France.

He was a battering ram, aka a donkey

Hi
Usual supect here. How are you hysterical over-reacting lady?



I honestly dont give a sh'it what "big cas" says. And do you know why? Because his opinions on anything dont interest me in the slightest. As an adult I have learned that certain people talk sense and are interesting. Some are fascinating and others are half wits to be ignored. I chooose the people I listen to, watch or read about because I can and because I want to. Its called being a grown up
Cascarinos opinion means as much to me as Loius walshes, andy grays or david beckhams. If he says Roy is fab it means nothing. If he says hes sh'ite it means nothing. Utter meaningless drivel

DANNY MURPHY believes Roy Hodgson will guide Liverpool back into the Champions League this season.

The former Reds midfielder, who returns to Anfield with Fulham today, insists his old boss at Craven Cottage is the right man to restore the club’s fortunes.

Liverpool go into the game in ninth place but Murphy is confident Hodgson’s side will swiftly climb the table.

“If I was a betting man, I would guarantee they are going to finish in the top four,” he said.

“The club is in a bit of a predicament, but you couldn’t ask for a more humble gentleman to deal with that.

“The dilemma for me came when I was getting calls from people at Liverpool asking me about Roy. I knew I could say nothing and they would still probably employ him.

“But I was praising him because that’s what he deserves, being honest and knowing that it would probably help them decide he was the right man.

“I didn’t want to see him go, but football success generally means that people move on.

“The great thing for him was that he got to manage one of the great teams in Europe and Liverpool got one of the best coaches around.”

Murphy, who made 294 appearances for the Reds between 1997 and 2004, says Hodgson will need time to produce a team capable of challenging for the title.

“I hear positive sounds coming out of the club about him. The people up there don’t suffer fools,” he said.

“You will get a more successful Liverpool there this season, but the fans are realistic at the moment about what’s achievable.

“Roy wants to be a success and success for Liverpool is competing with Manchester United and Chelsea.

“He might need a bit longer than one season to do that, but he will bring them closer. I don’t think the fans expect them to win the Premier League this season - they are more realistic than that
“I think some stability, getting back into the Champions League and getting extra money in is what’s needed. Roy will do that. He’s a winner.”

Fulham go into the game without a win in seven games and the skipper admits they are desperate to end that miserable run.

“Of course there will be some hype around the game because of Roy, but I know what he’s like, he’s as professional as any manager I’ve ever worked with and he’ll be concentrating on getting his team together to try and get three points,” he said.

“Like Roy, we’ll purely be concentrating on trying to get some more points on the board from a game against a good Liverpool side who seem to have turned a corner.

“Yes, I have some good memories from my time there, but we need a result at the moment, and that will be the only thing on my mind.

“Other than the one disappointing performance against Manchester City there has been plenty to be positive about so we don’t fear anybody.”




....  “I think some stability, getting back into the Champions League and getting extra money in is what’s needed. Roy will do that. He’s a winner.” ...... apparently he struggles with winning AWAY  though Danny
"If I was a betting man, I would guarantee they are going to finish in the top four,” he said.
If you were a betting man Danny you would be homeless
“I hear positive sounds coming out of the club about him. The people up there don’t suffer fools,”
No we don't Super Dan and that's why we have already  decided the managers  time at the club is already up 

Danny Murphy's predictions also include ... all the snow across England will dissipate ...leaving only fluffy clouds we can use to travel to work on

I know who he is mate, my point was he has never had a nice word to sayt about anyone, since he has not been playing the only way he can keep his name in the media is to give them a good sound bite, thats why the media run to him, they know its going to be worth it. some of the stuff he said abouy Kenny K was bang out of order two years ago.
