Its not Hodgson’s fault that Liverpool have a poor squad, that rests with the owners who have allowed a negative net spend for the last four transfer windows, but the performances against the likes of West Brom, Utrecht, Northampton and Blackpool are his fault, and Purslow’s for appointing him.

Why did he sell Riera? Riera had a problem with Benitez, not with Liverpool. In fact, he’d be infinitely better at Pool than Olympiakos. Why did he sell Insua, when Aurelio is made of glass? Why did he not keep Aquilani? Why did he replace Mascherano with such a shit player?
