Hodgson is a nice guy and a good manager, but he just couldn't cut it at Liverpool.
Too many shocking defeats, Northampton in the Carling Cup was the start, followed by losses to Blackpool, Everton.... Newcastle and finally for him, Blackburn.
Also the style of play at times was dreadful to watch, defensive, the long-ball, turgid stuff.
Neither did he get the best out of his players, which has been his biggest asset until he took over at Anfield.
By the end of his short reign, Liverpool's team of internationals were playing like relegation fodder.
Then he never had the backing of our fans, well he did in the beginning but the style of play and the bad results meant he was always going to be on a loser there.
John Henry made a point of listening to fans groups as soon as he bought the club and he was obviously listening to them again this week, as the axe fell swiftly on Roy Hodgson's head.
its not just a case of the results its his comments he said when being liverpools manager and alot more liverpool have always been behind their managers butr woy really didnt know how to talk to the media let alone the fans! glad to see the back of him king kenny all the way he should of got the job in the summer
ReplyDeleteI agree anonymous, his comments left alot to be desired
ReplyDeleteTo some extend I do agree with the skeptics who say that Dalglish has been out of regular managerial job for too long.
ReplyDeleteHowever what we need mostly at this moment is not new players or tactics but the REAL LIVERPOOL SPIRIT, the one that you see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kD7vtSIJe74
...and I think there's no doubt that there are only a few managers who could do that for us now and King Kenny definitely stands out of the bunch!!!
