All ifs and maybe's, depends on players bought and how current players would have reacted. But agree he is a better manager than Hodgson. Imo he would have shown his true worth in his 2nd season in charge, first season would still have been about finishing top 6 at best. |

yeah obviously but it isnt just about the finish its the performances and result, he would def have done better, in fact a lot better this liverpool team is a good team, we are weak in terms of having speed to attack with so we are kinda one dimensional but still this season is a disaster at the moment |

nah that's where we disagree, it's not alot better. I think you underestimate a lot of teams around you. If you have a weakness you get exposed in the league, that's been shown up with the top 3 and I wouldn't fancy you against many atm and alot of that is down to to your players. Yeh the performances might be better under Pelligrino, but they might expose you to more losses as well. This I'm pretty sure about considering his style and the players you have. Second season it would be different tho. |

I don't understand the first sentence? I don't think it's all about Woy btw, I keep saying its a combination of everything including the quality of the squad and the desire and attitude of the players. I did say earlier that was justified considering he'd been there 6 seasons. You can't apply the same to a new manager in his first season, and with a weaker squad. |

roy has a better squad than last season, or about the same. in fact so far he has had a fit torres all season which we didnt last season at all its his job to manage the players, if he cant then he is doing a bad job answer this so we can end it lol is roy underachieving? |
| no | |

No way does Roy have a better squad then last season. Most of it isn't even his squad and the purchases he has made are nowhere near liverpool quality. The only exception is Meireles who is ok. As I said I think you are about where you should be. It's a much of a muchness, put it this way - would it be underachieving to say you should be 8th instead of 9th? Hardly. A few weeks ago there were threads about whether liverpool were in a relegation battle, and now you're top half of the table. Ppl's attitudes change very quickly, lets face it there's no way you were gonna finish top 4 regardless of who was in charge. And now it seems unlikely (with the squad you have) you can better what you did last season so what difference does it make? Wait until summer, you'll get a new manager who will bring in some decent players and next season is where it begins. I want to emphasise the "decent players" bit cos no manager with this squad is gonna get you top 4 mate. Edited by treble, Dec 12 2010, 01:54 AM.

I swear we're repeating ourselves now It's not relegation man! I said before that's like 8 points off Chelsea which under the circumstances, considering the difference in squad and both team's performances, it isn't bad. Look how easily you caught up to Spurs, if you had won today some of you WOULD be saying top 4 is realistic, I read exactly that when you caught Spurs up a couple of weeks ago.
