Liverpool Thread - Premier League Champions* 2019/20

jonjo, kelly and spearing all started for the first team just over a week ago

lol just kidding i do love you guys, promise

Maxi!!! 1-0

Come on boys!

Injury time is killer...

Wo0t!!

We in the top 4 now?? ...just asking.

WIN  nice pass from Torres

Fking get in there! Stoked with that  Up to 12th we go, boys! Maxi, there's a good lad. Kyrgiakos was boss again, and Lucas played well for a lot of it, espesh the first half. Ngog did well when he came on. Great pass from Torres.

oh its already been brought!!

Mate, we're going to give those pansy ass lundoners a damn good hiding. Roy said so...

Traveling reds fans were brilliant today!!

^ They were tops.

Hopefully the improved support over the last couple of weeks will make for a memorable Anfield night against those other Blues. Get Gerry along for another YNWA rendition!

Torres still looks a bit off but wasn't it good to see him try some thing sthat he used to try, he's not far off from being back to where he was...Well done Maxi and Ngog too. I'm glad to see that Roy has given up on Poulsen.

Not a bad move bringing Poulsen on at the end though. If it had gone much longer Poulsen could have just bored Bolton into submission.

What about Roy....honestly will he stay or go?

I'll say, out in June 2011

Gone by Christmas. The players have turned this form around, not Roy. Something has changed behind the scenes that has caused a drastic change in tactics and 1XI. He's on borrowed time. NESV don't appear to be the type to make rash decisions so I imagine they'll get the new board and top level in place and ensure they have a a solid couple of managerial replacements in sight before he goes.
It'll be interesting to see if they invoke his contract clause that can see him removed by new owners within 28 days. Bit under 2 weeks left to invoke it...TheKop2010-11-01 10:46:39

Roy Hodgson will meet John W Henry after Liverpool win at Bolton

Long way to come for a meeting...

Henry will return to Merseyside from the US for meetings before the visit of Chelsea to Anfield on Sunday. Plans for the transfer window will be discussed............ Tui Billboard?

Roy: Morning John, we need to make some really big changes to the squad.

John: Your absolutely right, Roy. Your fired.

ok, so if Roy does go who are our options? Is there going to be anyone "better" atm for the club? It could go either way imo.

Anyways whats he doing coming out and saying that the club need five or six new players in Jan. Looking at what he has bought already I'd buy him a copy of four four two and give him a pair of scissors as thats the closest I'd want him choosing players for the club! Really irked me when he got Raul and he came out and said that he's been on my radar for quite a while! You're at liverpool now mate.........not fulham!

NESV appeared to have some good contacts in their approach and due diligence of the club, they're smart people. I just can't see them spending $300m only to let it fall through their grasp due to sloppy due diligence into the manager. When they bought the Red Sox they fired the manager after 8 days so I know they're not afraid to make the big calls.

Kenny as Director of Football should be having a large say and people like Purslow and Broughton would need to explain why they hired him in the first place, was it a short term appointment or a longer term. If longer term, why? (That I'm sure would have all been done before purchasing the club)

Pellegrini is still top of the list for me. He's already stated he wants to manage again and is hoping to find something by Christmas. I just hope, we're that something.

News coming out that Pelligrini been offered the Malaga job. A couple of days to decide whether to take it...

Damn hope not...

Dag Nam It..............surely it's better to get rid of Roy now rather than bumble along for a while and then cause more disruption? Still, the new owners seem on to it and I have no reason to doubt them....yet!

Doh, sounds like he is signing for Malaga.

Not sure if Roy will be going so soon now, NESV will need to think long and hard about a suitable replacement. Who else is out there? Any national coaches we could nab?

Where did you see that Kop?  That's a shame if it's true. Tyler2010-11-03 13:02:16

 
fantastic coach, he is coaching turkey atm

http://twitter.com/#!/ChristianMcr Guy that has some sort link with Malaga. He even admits Pellegrini would be better for Pool. Guess we won't know for sure until tomorrow.

Hiddink is coaching Turkey, only just started I blieve so I can't see us luring him away.

Johan Cruyff
Queiroz
Klinsmann
Mancini (if Citeh don't make top 4 his ass will be on the block)

(I'm just throwing names out there)

I would vote for Hiddink or Pelligrini. Although if Hiddink has just started in Turkey, he would potentially not be keen to break his contract although surely he would be keen to take over Liverpool.

NESV won't be making any drastic changes to management all by themselves, i think they would be getting a lot of advice from various people(probably including Purslow who appointed woy). So unless we lose the next few in a row i doubt anything will change short term.

They have said themselves they are new to the football business, and i personally would be pretty worried if they came in and started making drastic footballing decisions when they don't know what they are doing.

Been thinking about it this arvo and I guess if spent that much cash on a club that to be perfectly fair is treading water at the moment there's two things I'd want in place, no money spared. One - Club leadership (ie CEO, board etc) and Two - A manger that will see me through the initial tough stuff and create a platform for the players to build.

If 'that' manager just started at a club or national side I'd target them anyway. Better to have gone for the best there is than sit back and settle for second.

Let's go for Hiddink and Low, target Pellegrini. If he's about to sign for Malaga get on the blower and tell him to hold fire. Manuel, we need to chat!

Seems so easy sitting in arm chair, wearing my Red Shirt drinking a Calsberg...


EDIT: I should add that it's for those reasons above (and only those reasons) I'd be happy have Roy stay until Christmas on the proviso that we don't start sinking all over again. If we look like we're in trouble over the next month get him out and get Kenny in until we find the manager. I'm happy for some time to be taken to ensure we get the right guy.TheKop2010-11-03 18:59:35

After watching the phoenix tonight.....I feel real good about Liverpool!

Why? You still won't qualify for Europe next year.

The nix really did remind me of Liverpool tonight.
