So if he doesn't beat both arsenal & Citeh he doesn't get our support?

Get to fuck. He gets the same support any manager would get, if we start slow we shout our support for the team louder, that's all.

I swear some people have no fucking clue what the Liverpool way means anymore.

Agreed.

Roy has my 100% support not only because I think he is a very good manager and a top bloke but because he is now the manager of my beloved Liverpool FC and therefore gets my full backing.

C'mon you Reds!

So, I'm the only one that thought that was a shit article?

Purging the "obscure shadow men brought in by Benitez"?

I mean, come on!

Obscure shadow men is the publishable translation of overpriced, useless shit.

I know... so that leaves us with the fact that Rafa was a shit manager who suffocated everyone (including the fans) with his baffling over-complicated continental tactics, rarely signed a decent player and ensured our backroom staff consisted of useless Spanish nobodies.

Which is, as you say, shit, with the odd kernel of truth bobbing in it.

Not to worry though, Roy Hodgson is here to provide sagacious clarity.

Even Lippi would have said his tactics were baffling. Because often they were fucking thick, continental or not.

He once played Crouch on the wing.
