They were poo at the end of last season when Hodgson was merely a glint in Tom Hicks' eye.

He's playing half the team out of position and has changed the team's tactics from a pressing game, to a holding one. How can you not judge him on it?
Cole on the left, Meireles on the right, Kuyt behind the forward, etc. The same was said about the Northampton game, yet again; players out of position and no subs or tactical changes until the 90th minute. He's utterly clueless.
Even at our worst last year, we weren't regularly getting bossed in possession. It just didn't happen. I think Roy has now had the worst start to a season for a Liverpool manager in 50 years.

Farcical
Great players succeed in spite of crap management
Gerrard, Torres, and their hangers on etc are simply not that good and any attempt to deflect the blame is simply nonsense
If Shane Warne were a footballer and "Woy" were his coach, Liverpool would still be top because any fool can recognise that the objective is to score more goals than the opposition
The 'pool should've punted Stevie 2 years ago

I think every Liverpool fan is asking that question. Why wasn't he played behind Torres? Why was Meireles, a CM - who has always played as a CM - now suddenly played wide on the right? Why wasn't Kuyt on the right, instead of behind Torres? Poulsen makes Lucas look like Xavi.
I'm certainly not one of the people who was happy with Roy coming but reading around even those that were are starting to apologise. Just what in the hell has happened?
It's not too late to turn it around, and who knows...a run of results might change the complexion completely but as it is...we suck, bad. It's early days, and my comment was in jest...but I fear for Roy if we don't beat Blackpool. **** will hit the fan.

Exactly. If he is exempt from criticism, then he should as well be for praise.

Aside from the fact he's a sand dancer who's flattered to deceive for about 5 years now?!!
Ikki, what's up with Cole on the left?

Aye, was in reference to the "out of position" part.

Did you actually watch your team last year and this - your captain has been embarrassingly bad and he carried his form into the WC
Torres was the same and, injuries or not, he is no closer to being "the best striker in the world" than I am!
It's about time that SOS and the Liverpool supporters get their head out of their arse and stick the boot up underperforming/overpaid players

Did you just watch the match? Gerrard was MOTM. Gerrard has scored 4 goals in 7 games this year. How has he been the problem? Torres has been injured sure, but scored 22 goals in 32 games last year. He could have scored again today but he selflessly gave the ball to Kuyt to make it 3 assists now in the last 2 matches. Based on what logic are these two the problem?

Felt a bit sorry for poor old Roy during his BBC interview. Completely incoherent waffle, the pressure is obviously getting to him.

Just going to have a bit of a boast about the City result today. While the game may not have appeared enthralling to the neutral, due to the lack of goalmouth action, thought it was still an absorbing battle. Chelsea were coming, rightly, as the team to beat, they are the Champs, and probably will be again, while we knew we had to up our game from recent weeks and rise to the challenge, and so we did.
Kompany and Toure continue to be outstanding at the heart of our defence this season, while De Jong ensures there's not too much for them to do. Hart had relatively nothing to do today, and Tevez took his half chance exceptionally well. A great day indeed!
