The problem for Roddy (and many other Liverpool fans) is that they are in the delicate position where Hodgson can make them, and their opinions, look very silly.

They've already been made to look stupid by the blind faith they showed in the useless Dalglish, so if a man who they turned on, because he dared to be almost un-Liverpool like when he was in the job, gets one or two half decent results and suddenly gets a bit of praise from the media, then their reaction is always going to be the typical Liverpool one, which is lashing out, followed by a dose of self pity, mainly about how Hodgson is to blame for the state they are in (conveniently forgetting how Benitez put them there in the first place, and how Dalglish has actually made them even worse).

I don't think anybody thinks Hodgson is a particularly great manager, but the way Liverpool fans go on, you would think he is a total incompetent, with little knowledge of the game.

The truth is, despite Roddy wanting us to suddenly become Real Madrid or Barcalona and to play flowing football, we simply aren't good enough and we have a stark choice - Either try to play attacking football (and fail miserably) or get used to the fact that, for the moment, stealing results by stifling more talented teams is our only option.

It always makes me laugh when the media portray LFC fans as "amongst the most knowledgeable in the game." They, in fact, come across as quite the opposite.

I honestly do not see where Roddy is coming from in his posts. To spout the biggest load of nonsense then try to hide behind denials is clearly ridiculous. What an embarrassment to his team.

Week in, week out he is shown up on here as wrong but instead of just admitting defeat he just keeps going, like a dog with a bone and makes it worse. I doubt even he believes what he writes.

He is a cracking troll though.
