still early stages and a win is a win but i dont see anything different from hodgsons approach to the game to benitez's. We dont have any quality to break down opponents, especially against the weaker ones. All i can say is lucky we have torres. Why on earth did we have only 1 striker against a team who lost 6nil to chelshit. Too defensive especially at home! We play like shit! I dont see any improvement in the formation and game play under hodgson. I just hope the new midfielder is creative and that we get a good striker. We need to play alot better if we want a top 4 spot.
must drop or sell lucas, he's got no pace,skill or brains for the epl.
Well, Liverpool won, but hardly, I might add.
If they won´t buy anyone in next two days, this club might be in deep troubles by January.
