Yeah read my post , I put down something decent unlike you dragging up a discussion on Roy because most people should know LFC fans didn't enjoy his time as manager.

I didn't drag up anything. I joined an ongoing discussion. We'll park it here anyway, it's only going to drag on again.

I still don't understand why pool fans hate Hodgson so much, he was giving no money not even 1 cent, turned over a decent profit and has a similar point ratio to Kenny and Rodgers.

I know this BS doesn't merit a response but ... Your assertion that he didn't spend any money is untrue. And as for a similar point ratio to those that came after ... what a moronic comment to make.

To give you some insight as to why fans don't like him here are a list of some of the crimes he committed against Liverpool FC:

He released Diego Cavaleri and signed Brad Jones for £2.5M as a replacement. Since then Cavaleri became the first choice keeper for Fluminese where he has won a league title and also became a Brazilian international.

Despite Emiliano Insua being the only left back in the squad, Hodgson's first action as manager was to try to off-load the player. Paul Konchesky was signed as a replacement in a deal that valued the 29 year old at over £5M.

Christian Poulsen was signed for £4.5M from Juventus, to play in a position where he already had Javier Mascherano, Lucas Leiva, Steven Gerrard, Raul Meireles and Jay Spearing.

He criticised the fans for protesting against what the American owners were doing to the club and suggested they were conspiring against him.

He didn't stand up for the club in the media. When Ferguson accused Torres of being a cheat, Hodgson refused to comment. After a backlash from the fans and the local media he came up with something about how he knew Ferguson and thought it was obvious to anyone with some intelligence that the comment was just to deflect attention away from Nani. The implication being that the fans were stupid.

He made out that Benitez had barred Dalglish from the club when it was in fact Benitez who had brought Dalglish back into the setup.

He publicly criticised the players and questioned how they could be considered international players. The following day he said he hadn't criticised them.

In early October he gave up on the league campaign and told the fans they should accept the fact that the club was in a relegation battle.

The 2-0 defeat away to Everton after FSG bought the club was described as the best performance of the season and getting a result in the game would have been Utopia.

He wanted to sign Bobby Zamora instead of Luis Suarez.

You'll notice I didn't mention the football played, that in itself was a crime against the sport. Daniel Agger was dropped from the first team because he didn't "Just launch it!".

Nice to see benteke remembering how to score just in time to play us.

Villa do us a favour today. Sunday week is gonna be interesting though.

Attracting top talent, especially when we aren't in London is goibg to be harder than keeping pur top talent.
We should give Sterling his 325k and focus on Martin's contract.

Their team are being decimated today, Clarke, Agbonlahor crocked knees and now a red card for Sanchez. They brought on Joe Cole :eek: We might have a chance lads, but let's not talk ourselves up - they have Benteke.

Hmm, I'm thinking of arranging stuff for that weekend (drinking based) and 5pm or so would be better rather than starting stupidly early.

Was sceptical when Danny Ings was first linked to Liverpool but the more I see of him, the more he really looks like a proper player. In a team like Barnsley he stands out a mile.

Ah the old Barnsley/Burnley confusion - done it myself plenty of times.

I'd agree with every part of this bar Insua - if I recall correctly Insua was let go and the Joe Cole deal were done during the vacuum between Rafa and Hodgson, and the self-styled "Fernando Torres of Finance" Cecil Purslow started trying his hand at football management..

Insua went to Galatasaray on the transfer dead-line, August 31st. The same day that Konchesky was signed.

Liverpool's Jordan Henderson set to sign new contract worth £100,000 a week... Mirror.co.uk 22:44

Liverpool FC's Raheem Sterling pictured smoking shisha pipe as strong as 200...Mirror.co.uk 22:44

.

Jordan Henderson is ready to commit his long-term future to Liverpool by signing a new £100,000-a-week deal.

Sunday Mirror Sport understands the deadlock over a new contract for the man set to succeed Steven Gerrard as the Kop captain has been broken in the last few days.

Midfielder Henderson, who has just over a year left on his current deal, turned down an £80,000-a-week offer as he wanted a package that reflected his growing influence at the club.

It now seems likely he will seal the four-year deal by the end of the season.

He will fit in well with the other smokers at Arsenal.

And? I don't care if Sterling is smoking crack. I'm not having a go at him, just joking about where he's from. Sure it's only dried fruit he's smoking anyway. Lighten up ffs.

Cavaleri went to Cesena first where he played 2nd fiddle to a 41 year old and then moved to Fluminese without having played a league game. Just so all the facts are out there.

Just to dispel a myth, those 'shishas' have a reputation as being a harmless alternative to cigarettes but the opposite is the complete truth.

Footballers really shouldn't be going near them.

I smoked one with a few Indian lads on holiday before. They told me it was just dried fruit, didn't think there was tobacco in it at all.

Would be a grand signing at the right price, 5milliom or thereabouts. Obviously as a backup and not first choice.

ricero

Watching villa yesterday and again I'm very impressed with benteke again he's in fantastic form.

If we could ship Mario out this summer and bring in benteke it would be great business.

brevity

Anyone here get The Sunday Times? There is a brief day-in-the-life type interview with Sterling in one of the magazines.

Apart from name dropping the type of car he drives, he comes across quite well IMO and certainly not this money grabbing mercenary that seems to be doing the rounds.

Talks about his family (didn't know his father was murdered in Jamaica) and mum a quite a bit and also mentions his host family when he was first living in Liverpool.

Worth a read.

smileyj1987

Here people just a thought , Hernandez seems to be only used as a squad player at Real Madrid and Man Utd. Would anyone think signing him would be a good idea. I think it's a move that if it was to happen could be a good one for LFC. The bloke will get goals and well LFC need goals.

Harry Palmr

Nope nope nope - he is tap in merchant and as such wrong for Liverpools approach to the game which really requires a bit more - namely the ability to carry the ball into the dangerous areas rather than wait about for a ball.

MD1990

This is why I would like to see us go for Krychowiak since Nainngolan would be unlikely without CL football.
Been superb for Sevilla this season.

Don't know, Harry. It's not going to happen but it could open up new options to get a similar type player who would always be in around the box ready to shoot.

And i can't count how many times i have seen a wide player get to the end line and have to pull the ball back outside the box from the lack of some predator type in the box to tap it in from a pass across goals.

Harry Palmr

If the side is built on pacey transitional football an 18 yard prowler feels counter to that.

Mignolet is bigging up Origi in a few papers, looking at the Lille side they are 4 wins from their last 5 they play Evian TG at 4 pm for anyone not interested in the Manchester derby.

Origi starts centrally for Lille in three man attack
