LFC Globe
No approach for any manager from #LFC as of now - no new manager expected till at least after the Blackburn game at best. More to come.

Roy out then shortly.

Watching the game yesterday i think Raul Meireles played about 5 balls that went forward and the rest were sideways or backwards. Im talking at least 75% of passes sideways or backwards.

If he is doing that its because he has been told to, I've seen meireles play several times before coming to Liverpool and he always seemed quite attacking minded.

I see that lfc globe are reporting that Gerrard and carragher have had a bust up with Torres.

He's an absolute beast of a player for his international team. Scores goals, gets forward, plays good probing passes and breaks up play well.
I wouldnt judge anyone on their LFC performance at the moment.

Not exactly true, Carra gave Torres a bit of a shouting because he 'wasnt working hard enough' to which Torres did the "shhh" animation. Gerrard got involved and told Carra to drop it and get back into position.

Thanks

Well as you can see quite a lot of his passes were backwards and sideways

If that's even remotely true we should dump Gerrard and Carragher. The former was a disgrace last season and the latter's a liability now.

Sadly he's not alone. That's how bad our passing has been in the majority of games this season. Everything is forwards 10 yards then sideways or backwards.

Alpherah · 18 Oct 2010 at 23:10

Thats because the only target actually up the pitch is Torres, who's marked out of the game by 4 defenders.

No this is breaking news, I get the impression they are talking about something which has happened since the match not during it.

Alpherah · 18 Oct 2010 at 23:15

mm yeah, probably stems from the game though.

As for a new manager (i can dream

) , Paul the octopus anyone?

Not sure whether Gerrard was involved but it's well known that Carra and Torres haven't seen eye to eye for a while.

It's possibly a case of putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with 5 though after the little argument yesterday.

As for all the Hodgson out talk; the owners met with various fans groups today and knowing 1 of the guys that met them, I'm certain he made it clear what the fan's feelings are towards Hodgson. Unfortunately this same guy is a total **** and most of his views (Hodgson aside) are most certainly not share by the majority.

Alpherah · 18 Oct 2010 at 23:21

Who might this guy be then?

Guessing you mean SoS?

BaZ87 · 18 Oct 2010 at 23:24

Not from SOS. Atk from TLW. He's a **** that honestly thinks he should be the new manager.

Mark1989 · 18 Oct 2010 at 23:25

Well if he goes which i sense he will why he left fullham ill never know, I hope rumours of O`Neil maybe getting a chance are mute as i wouldnt want him near liverpool either

I imagine if they opt for a change o'neill will be high on the list as he is available which most of the other options aren't.

Ahhh. Okay. Try to avoid fan-sites/forums when possible. Usually too many people with their own ill-informed agenda's.

Lets hope Henry and Werner have a chat with Lerner before making any decisions.

Which will still be imo a bad decsion to have him on the list and if he got it worse, id much rather Dalglish took it over till end of season and they did a full proper search for a manager and not a rush job which is what Roy was.

I'd happily accept that scenario
