I don't even know what to say. Roy thinks we played very well today and is shocked we lost...

If by played very well he means we were lucky to only lose 2-0 then yes I agree with him 100%

What annoyed me the most was any time they showed him during the game he looked so damn clueless, I said back in the summer and I'll say it again, Rafa always gets the tatics spot on (his talent evaluation can be suspect but that's easily fixed), we were silly to let him go. Always felt Roy would be in over his head and I think he's proved it. Get him out the fuck and bring in a Liverpool man to right the ship. Kenny we need you.

Unfortunately I think Roy will still be manager for at least a couple more games, possibly until January and by then it may be to late.

 

[CaribbeanJoseph]

Yea I think the owners will be reluctant to replace him so soon even though at this point Kenny is the only way forward imo, I will say this, if Roy is still manager come January we will be serious relegation candidates, no debbie downer.

We're serious candidates right now. Hopefully guys don't start wanting out in January because I'm thinking Torres is going to. The two we've got to keep no matter what are Gerrard and Reina.

 

[CaribbeanJoseph]

I don't think the threat of relegation is serious atm, we can still easily turn things around, Nando will find his form soon enough. My worry is that Roy doesn't seem very open to change and if he won't change neither will the results and if we're in the same position come January, it might be too late.

 

[mgoblue2290]

It doesn't help Torres isn't getting any service from the guys behind him. If we sell Torres, we'll have to buy another striker. I know we're rumored with Lisandro Lopez but he can't be our only man.

 

[CaribbeanJoseph]

Co-sign on Hazard but fuck selling Nando, yea he's had a rough start but c'mon, he'll bounce back, would be a BIG mistake, it doesn't help that he's getting shite service or that he's our only goal threat due to Hodgson's genius tactics completely neutralizing Stevie G. He needs to ease back into things gently and unfortunately we can't afford to let him but I have no doubts he"ll find his form soon enough.

 

[CaribbeanJoseph]

Oh I agree he's playing shite and yes his body language is poor but I think/hope that it's a confidence issue rather than disinterest. I also think the injury was more serious than we realised and he shouldn't have been in the Spanish WC squad at all and should have been concentrating on rehab instead. Like I said, in an ideal world we would be able to ease him back into things but we simply don't have anybody else up font. He's come back form injury before and after all he's done for us, I just can't understand how some have lost faith so easily.

 

[mgoblue2290]

I think its disinterest and regret he didn't leave in the summer. I mean Hazard provides a winger, but we still need, if we sell Torres, 2 more strikers. Maybe we can finagle Dzeko and Lisandro too since we're dreaming about Hazard.

 

[BigHouseUSA]

You guys need Ameobi.

 

[mgoblue2290]

What reliable strikers who can play by themselves are even available or would be in January? Dzeko is the definition of a pipe dream but it seems like Lisandro is a legitimate target. I wish we could've gotten Huntelaar in the summer window too.

 

[mgoblue2290]

Bobby Zamora. :golfclap:

Isn't he coming off major surgery?

 

[BigHouseUSA]

We'll give you Peter Lovenkrands for a Cheez-It.

 

[calgaryballer]

If everyone here can see Torres is off form, which teams are going to drop a bundle on him in January?

 

[mgoblue2290]

The same teams who would've in the summer.

Also I just read a rumor of Wayne Rooney possibly being sold. I'd forgive him for the sin of playing for Everton and Man U, if he came to us. lets see who thinks im serious

 

[BigHouseUSA]

What about Xisco. He's tall and Spanish, should work well with Torres?

 

[mgoblue2290]

City!

Mancini has been quoted as saying that he wants another striker in Jan. Why, I don't know.

Nothing like hoarding guys and upsetting team chemistry. Liverpool should invest in cloning and see if we can't clone King Kenny and Ian Rush and let them run around out there.

Here are your signings.
