Liverpool FC and Roy Hodgson
It is so frustrating being a LFC supporter!
Last night is the clearest indicator (if you still needed one) that something is fundamentally wrong with the set-up of the team.
Roy said "Judge me after 10 games", well I didnt Roy, but I AM going to judge you after 18. The only saving grace this team had this season was their home form and last night we were beaten at Anfield by the team with the worst away form of any team in the league! Now 3 points above the drop zone and the wins against Villa, West Ham and notably Chelsea a distant memory - things have to change....
Where was the width? Why the hell were we playing so deep and not pushing Wolves on our home turf? Players looked out of position and out of their depth against the team at the bottom of the league. If this continues and the teams around us in the table hit a good streak in the new year, we are looking at a relegation battle, no joke!!
And if LFC fans are expecting big money buys in January, think again. I can only hope that they buy sensibly. We need wingers, we need proven goalscorers and in reality so much more, but that would be a start.
Changing a team takes time, but at this stage, the manager needs to give us a clue where he is taking the team. I find that Roy does a lot of talking but tells us nothing. There is so much expectation of the Liverpool team due to the history of the club, the records will show this to be a dark period in the clubs history unless big changes happen, now!

2 world class players (Gerrard, Torres), decent keeper, but otherwise too many very average players.
Liverpool no longer have the financial clout to shop at Harrods, they can only afford to shop at Tesco's now
Once upon a time the likes of Konchesky, Kyriakos, Lucas, Ngog, Jovanovic etc would never have been considered good enough to play for Liverpool
Not entirely Roy Hodgson's fault though, Benitez had left the club in a mess and bailed out at a good time......a bit like Blair getting out and leaving brown with the mess!
3-0 down to Blackburn? Hodgson won't last the week then
