Love that people say he did an excellent job with Fulham, no he didn't (imo). People seem to forget Steve McCLaren's run in the Europa league with Middlesborough. A lucky cup run doth not a good team make....I mean jesus look at the team we won the CL with! Traore has got to be the worst player to ever recieve a cl winners medal.
Roy is a (not so terrible manager I may have over reacted a touch), I saw someone post on the LFC forums that Hodgson has only won 11 away games since 1997..I don't know how reliable a stat that is (I'm sure someone could find out with a bit of digging) but if true that's an absolutely appauling statistic & makes you wonder how the guy has managed to blag his way through premier league management for all these years!
He said judge him after 10 games, I did, I thought he should of gone then but we kept hold of him, it's now been almost 20 (league games) & although we are starting to improve here & there I still think he's awful. It's taken him all this time to move Meireles into the centre & persists with playing a formation our squad isn't suited to & wonders why we look about as dangerous as a 3 legged kitten going forward (Just ******* go back to 4-5-1!!!!)...some of the decisions he's made since he's been here have been absolutely baffling & I'm not talking about the transfer window. Playing RM on the right, dropping Babel for a completely uninterested looking Torres after playing his 2 best games for the club in a long time, playing Carra /Skrtel instead of Kyrgiakos despite Kyrgiakos looking like our only half decent defender for start of the campaign. Not bringing Wilson into the side despite our back four looking like they've forgotten what defending is, playing Pacheco shunted out on the right & then dropping him after the whole team looked absolutely abysmal. Idespite him looking like one of the few players in our reserves that actually deserves a shot in the first team on merit). The list goes on & on!
Sorry to rant but he absolutely infuriates me & if he was any other manager the press would of ripped him a new arsehole but because it's Roy he's seemingly untouchable. Mancini's City side are within touching distance of the title despite playing like **** for the majority of the season so far & yet the media tear him a new one week in week out. The sooner he gets the boot & takes the Blackburn job the happier I'll be in all honesty.
