Liverpool bias on Talksport? that would be a first. I take it that's the first time you've listened to it then.

Anything to do with News Intl. (Talk Sport/Sky Sports) is best avoided. Talksport inparticular have gob.. sorry I mean people like Adrian Durham and Alan Brazil to make the rest of the morons they have on there appear to be remotely intelligent.

You are not a world class team anymore. Doesn't matter what you used to be. Leeds were a top team once. Liverpool have no money and a weak squad.

Roy Hodson isn't a bad manager.

He took a weak Fulham team from relagation material to the UEFA Cup Final.
He was the man everyone thought should have one Manager Of The Year instead of Redknapp.
He was on the cusp of taking the biggest job in England
He was the fans' choice.

You don't go from all that to useless in 6 games. The fans are notoriously fickle but even so they are taking the biscuit here. There are 6 points (that's 2 wins) between 4th and bottom of the league. And Liverpool have played Arsenal, Citeh and Man Utd in those 6 games.

Get a grip!

This.

Liverpool have 3 great players in a squad of 25-ish. Torres is made of balsa wood and only plays 1/3 of a season. Gerrard is great but only one man. Cole seems to be very inconsistent.

Liverpool needs to stop assuming they should be top 4 and start playing like they should be.

I think 'Gerrard = World Class' is very debatable. Not the same since Alonso left.

It's been poor for a couple of seasons but not this poor. Hodgson, bad manager? more like a case of wrong man for the job. Hodgson recently cited his 35 years of experience to justify his managerial ability and methods but the stark reality is that in 35 years he doesn't really have a great deal to boast about. Foisting defend deep, stand off and unload tactics on a team who have had a completely different mentality drilled into them under the previous regime is clearly going to do significant damage and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realise that's exactly what is happening.

There is enough ability in the current squad without bigging up individual names to justify a better quality of football than the drivel that's currently being served up. There is no excuse.

Spot on, people expect instant success.
Remember Fergie in 1986 anyone ? Almost sacked for a run of bad results, the rest is history.

Some people do expect instant success which of course isn't the right attitude, however:

there are also some people who expect their new manager to conduct himself in a dignified and respectful fashion not only in the way that he treats the players and fans of his new club (in his willingness to blab to his media pals) but also that he at least ensures that there a semblence of competence reflected in the way he organises the players at his disposal regardless of the result...

unfortunately Roy has thus far failed on all of the above counts: blame the players then backtrack, insult the fans who are protesting against the owners then backtrack etc etc, list goes on. Seeing as he's so loved by his LMA chums and mates in the BBC/Sky perhaps he's better off somewhere where he's wanted, God forbid England fans, he could be the successor to Capello!

I hope that certain people and most of all the board at LFC who have no footballing knowledge who were behind the sacking of Rafael Benitez are now satisfied with what they've done.

(Don't mean to sound harsh on Roy the man outside football, he seems like a decent bloke but the poor guy looks like a broken man already and for the sake of his health I hope he does the right thing)

So for all the Liverpool fans who goaded United supporters when the owner of an American football team took over......

Maybe a re-name to "The Liverpool Redsox" is on the cards...? :)

Interesting how this news comes out at the same time as Mike Jefferies viral anti-Tom Hicks video. Smokescreen? I wonder who's feeding Dan Roan/BBC
