Roy : I'll pat myself on the back over Torres.

[usernameunknown]

Oh dear!!

 

“I thought Torres today was much, much different to the one in the first couple of games, and I will pat myself on the back by saying I told you so.

 

“People wanted to see his best the moment he stepped back onto the field after the World Cup, but I said he needed games, he needed time"

 

Liverpool Daily Post - Liverpool FC - Liverpool FC News - Expectations are too high at Liverpool FC says Roy Hodgson

 

Can someone stop this guy from talking please?

[gkmacca]

Can someone stop these guys from over-analysing quotes, please?

[Dirk]

In the scheme of things, what Roy says in press conferences is largely an irrelevance. Although I was unhappy with his comments about the protest.

[gkmacca]

He was asked if the protests helped HIM prepare for GAMES. His response was entirely understandable. People really need to stop this pointless victimising of other victims and concentrate on the real bad guys.

[goatboy59]

REVENGE

[mgw100]

I agree 100% with gkmacca

If he keeps talking shit I'll keep highlighting it.

 

He can pat himself on the back when he does something useful like winning a league game.

[silverlining]

As if Woy can pat himself on the back.

 

I'd be impressed if he could pat himself on the knee without sitting down first.

[Original202]

Jesus wept.

[JohnnyH]

Jesus. Every little word he says is picked apart with a fine toothed comb. Give it a rest would yiz.

[Lurtz]

This forum is getting worse by the day.

[lfc84]

just like the manager

[sh#t waffle]

I really don't see the big deal in what he's said there.

[silverlining]

It's not interesting in any way at all.

[Dicko]

I really don't see the big deal in what he's said there.

 

Neither do I.

This however contains a fair bit of shite, mixed in with one or two salient points.

 

“The expectations being placed on the team are ones they will find very hard to live up to until they bed in as a team."

 

“It’s more a case of using certain players in certain positions in certain games to get them to the position I want.

 

“It’s them finding their legs as Liverpool players and me finding where best to use them, but we are going to see a very tight league this year.

 

“The understanding will of course only come from games, and we’re all coming to terms with the expectations.

 

“Everything is still very new, a lot of new players, some uncertainty about the ownership, but the moment we’re not flying people say it’s not good enough.

 

“I’m not saying it is, but that maybe it’s something that could have been predicted.

 

“We can’t do more than we’re doing and we have probably the most passionate and interested fans in the world. I have a lot of faith in those fans and they know how difficult it can be at times.

 

“I consider myself unlucky not to be sitting here describing a victory.

 

“We weren’t given an easy start and the next period will be very important. It was important to bounce back because if we hadn’t had that magnificent reaction, it would have been a very black day. We showed a lot of character and determination and played some very good football.”

 

“It’s on my mind to play Torres, Raul Meireles and Dirk Kuyt on Thursday.

 

“I think they’re knitting together well.

 

“I thought Torres today was much, much different to the one in the first couple of games, and I will pat myself on the back by saying I told you so.

 

“People wanted to see his best the moment he stepped back onto the field after the World Cup, but I said he needed games, he needed time

 

“He was unlucky not to score one of the goals of the month, with that magnificent control and volley that was inaccurately ruled out for offside.

 

“It was only Meireles’ second start and there was another start for Joe Cole. There are moments giving me satisfaction but I know it’s a big job and I can’t just wave a magic wand and Liverpool will suddenly dominate English football again. But there were a lot of pleasing factors today.”

[lfc84]

he is talking in the past tense. in his mind, its mission acomplished so far as torres being back to his best is concerned

[John101]

Nothing in it, although i do find it a bit odd he finds the need to pat himself on the back, for Torres coming back to match sharpness like.

[Guest PurpleNose]

Any chance we can create a general dog shit thread for all of this stuff?

[usernameunknown]

I really don't see the big deal in what he's said there.

 

Praising yourself for saying Torres would take a while to get back to full flow and being proven right doesnt sit right with me.

 

Would you hear Ferguson praising himself for saying he was proven right over Rooney's personal issues affecting his form? I doubt it, because he'd be pissed off his star striker is out of form for so long.

 

I guess thats the difference between winners and losers.

[Irishlad]

I'm starting to get really pissed off with absolute twats starting thread after thread of pointless shit aimed at Hodgson.

 

He's here & not going anywhere. So stop crying over your keyboards.

You'd complain that he's a cunt if he acted like Ferguson.

Hello Evertonian, how are ya?

[hamstrung]

Hello Evertonian, how are ya?

 

Are you having a breakdown of some sort?

[t1971]

More interested in what hes doing (or not doing as it would seem) on the pitch. But he does talk quite a bit of crap.

[usernameunknown]

Not that im aware of. Are you?
