Suggesting that the defeat was merely the players fault. He got everything right, but his players are performing way below the expectation and nothing he could do about it, which vindicate why he was in no desire to make a change and used only two substitution including to replace an injured N'gog. He showed a sign of disbelieve and frustration by rubbing his face in front of the camera after the team was so close to get another great draw against the mighty Newcastle. Pity old man, he is one of the best in the world with over 30 years of experienced, but always being let down by his players poor performance. The board should consider giving him all the money so he could completely reshuffle the team, then, who knows maybe he can get us in top half of the table..

I miss Risse

can't resist, so here we go.

a known cheat who pisses on the idea of fair play, and known to take a bite out of opponents. eccentric some? perfect fit for you Reds I'd say.

I'd rather walk alone.

and seriously, give Roy a chance. he had what, barely 6 months? after inheriting a team in tatters legacy of that fat spanish waiter.

what is happening, is you've always been a 2 man team. and it's just showing now, you don't get lucky every season.

Incidentally, where has Mr. Positivity gone? As I've said repeatedly along with some other posters, there is being positive and there's being deluded.

Very2 sorry, perhaps you're right.. Or perhaps I were right... We never know, Harry's appointed as liverpool manager is not something that have happen... Thats why we having this conversation... I'm sorry to making you guys feel like i'm neglecting any of you guys comment, but what i've comment is not base on just this forum, I had many other forum and many liverpool friends... There are plenty who agree & disagree with their own reason to speak.. Most of them who disagree speak of his character reason, which I totally want to avoid... This is a subjective matter, so nobody is consider right until it is actually happen...  it is getting hot in here, so lets just stop talking about Redknapp...
I'm not a big fan of Rafa... He's good, but not that good... I really hope to see an attractive passing kind of football such as Arsenal, Barca, or Blackpool be deploy under Liverpool side... But most of our past & current manager don't have that kind of play under their playbook... Its not going to guarantee us a win week-in week-out, but these kind of play have high probability to win us games... What Rafa have done is something different, that I can accept... But what Roy have done are very unacceptable to me... NESV, please bring us new manager a.s.a.p...

Blame no support from fans?? 

If Roy still Liverpool manager on 3rd of January, I can say the new Liverpool owners are as dumb as the previous two yanks.. Oh, they too are yanks anyway..

Dalglish is the popular choice and I see no reason why he shouldn't be put in charge until the end of the season. I've been backing his appointment pre-Hodgson and I'm backing it now. He commands the respect of both the players and the fans and he'll revitalise the decaying motivation levels. Whether or not he will make a significant contribution on the pitch is questionable but heck, its hard to do any worse than Hodgson has.

For the longer term, Frank Rijkaard's name excites me. It can be said that we are in need of an overhaul and it was he that gave Barcelona a new look despite slow start, disposing of the old guard comprising of mainly Dutchmen like Philip Cocu, Marc Overmars and Michael Reiziger. He promoted players like Victor Valdes, Xavi, Puyol and Iniesta from the club's youth team, and signed new stars like Deco, Ronaldinho, Eto, Marquez and Giuly. Not sure what happened at Galatasaray but I reckon its the only blemish in his career so far. Oh, that and his televised spit into Rudi Voeller's hair during the 1990 World Cup.

This kid didn't play much in the last World Cup but he looked an exciting player whenever he was brought on.

Long but interesting article. I like his philosophy on young players and he may just be able to revitalise our academy. However, despite having success at the lower levels, he has yet to prove himself in the top flight.

now I'm not defending Roy, but this is not true (in a way, if you look at last season, but for the whole managing career of his life, might be different). he lead Fulham to the Europa League final, something Rafa could not do (but losing out to the eventual winners of the Europa League)

No offence but I wonder where this manuscript came from. It isn't exactly what was said was it?

King Kenny does give super interviews and like Shankly, he's funny.

caling other team names does make us really classy now does it? I dislike Everton as much as the next 'Pool supporter, but do we really need to sink so low?
