Well I'm not exactly quoting Mr. Anonymous but he/she said something like that.
Sounds familiar?
Liverpool fans around the globe are once again caught in a dilemma: support/go against Roy Hodgson. At one moment it seems as if the tide has turned. 4 match winning streak, 6 games unbeaten run. Then along came Stoke, and they really "Stoke"-ed Liverpool to the brim.
OK LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT THE STATS OF THAT GAME. How about this: How the players play reflects the manager. Sounds familiar too?
Sloppy and poor. Two words to summarise the entire performance against Stoke. How does one explain this? We almost beat Arsenal, saved by a last minute equaliser; almost drew against Manchester United with NO SHOTS ON TARGET, but saved by a certain Bulgarian hattrick, beat Chelsea almost convincingly, but against the likes of Sunderland, Birmingham, Everton, Blackpool (OMG), West Brom, Wigan, Manchester City (ok never mind them - rich asses), and now Stoke.
Guess how many points we have from here? A miserable 6 points! Of course not adding the victories over Blackburn and Bolton - that's another 6 pts. Plus the 4 points against the other Big Four - 16 points in total.
From 13 games. (which means 16 of a possible - and staggering - 39 points. It's not even half.)
Now every team fancies beating Liverpool. Chelsea only recognises MU as their ONLY threat to the BPL title, though Arsenal and (even) Spurs (damn it) are having a go.
Liverpool? Top of the table. Of the bottom half.
Sorry Roy, you're time is seriously up. Unless you can explain how was it you managed to beat Chelsea (ok, maybe 'cause no Lamps, Essien and Drogba, and ohh what a difference he's made when he came on), and Blackburn (ok no Nelsen and Samba), I don't see how you can convince any fans. A manager makes his mark by winning games and taking a club to a different level. We tried to support you, but results don't lie. This is not the Liverpool team we use to know, and if you're not to blame, I don't know whose else now.
Players follow the instruction of their manager, and you can't tell us that you didn't instruct them to play like that (sloppy and poor). Every game you win buys you another match. Sorry man. You're a nice gentleman, but you seriously need to go.
Take care, and wish you a success in the future. I wouldn't say no clubs will hire you, but maybe top clubs has learned their lesson.
PS: To Purslow and co: WHAT THE HELL WENT THRU YOUR DAMN MIND WHEN HIRING HIM?! SURELY YOU KNOW DAGLISH HAS A BETTER RECORD?
Urgh...
