Very un-Hodgson performance by Liverpool today with passing from the back rather than hoofing it up the field. We also seemed to have a midfield which is nice for a change.
Helped that Bolton could only field 4 of 7 subs and didn't have Stuart Holden (who's been one of their best players). Still good win but changes little in my eyes, will be reminded of this if/when United stuff us next weekend.
Leighton Baines turned down a move to Bayern Munich. I can understand - if he left he would have been playing for one of the biggest teams in Europe, playing in the Champions League and by playing in a different country it could have made him a better, more well rounded and experienced player....

What an idiot.
Can't blame him. Eventually Moyes is going to drop the One Ring, and when he does Bainesy will be right there to pounce on it. Filthy hobbitses!

Luis Gustavo was just signed to play left back. Isn't that what Baines is? Of course Gustavo is Brazilian, so he could probably play defensive midfielder in addition.

I doubt we'll see Hodgson Saturday for the Merseyside Derby. Even if he makes it to Saturday, he would have to win. A loss there would certainly spell the end. But it's not all his fault, you can just tell Liverpool doesn't have the players.
Tottenham has zero consistency. Zero.
And how long before Ancelotti gets the axe. Losing 1-nil can't make the Russian happy.
Blatter says Qatar World Cup likely in January, though I'm sure it has absolutely nothing to do with Qatar in June being inappropriate for the World Cup.
He also threw in that FIFA is more transparent than the IOC, who spends "money like a housewife."

I'm stumped.
I'm so disappointed by that. Keegan I can get because he's crazy but Barnes....man, that guy's my f***in hero.
Anyway, a thought to ponder this Sunday when United are beating us senseless - except for Hyypia, Riera and Mascherano, Woy could put out the exact same team that beat United 4-1 - and that was a United team with Ronaldo and Tevez.

Indeed, to say nothing of John's unbroken record of success as a manager at the highest level and his transformation of Tranmere from relegation candidates to play-off contenders.
Actually, let me check my notes on that one and come back to you.

Best wishes, Doug
LFC' supporters will welcome this change albeit a cosmetic one. We'll see how long this honeymoon period will last and more importantly will he be able to stop the exit of some players at the end of the season?
Some fans thought that Roy's tactics were ancient history yet Dalglish hasn't managed for a decade.
That`s brilliant!
