Liverpool's season so far, a fan's view: 'It’s been very poor and I blame Roy'

By Garreth Cummings

1) How do you think your club’s season has gone so far?

You don’t need me to tell you that it’s been poor. Very poor, in fact. I blame Roy.

2) What would be a good finish for your side in the league? Do you fancy your chances in the FA Cup?

I fear that the manager is more accepting of mediocrity than the majority of the ­support, and would probably settle for a top-half finish. A good finish would be ­somewhere in the European places, and it’s not beyond us as things stand. I blame Roy.

3) Where would you like to strengthen your team in the January window and will it happen? Any particular players you’d like to see at your club?

I don’t think that there will be any major strengthening of our squad in January – Comolli has not long come in to his role, and the new owners need time to assess the ­direction they want us to go in. I’d expect player (and manager) replacements in the summer rather than January. I blame Roy.

4) Are you bothered that England failed to land the 2018 World Cup bid?

On a personal level, I would have loved to have seen a World Cup in this country, but I’m more worried about Qatar getting 2022 than I am about Russia 2018. I blame Roy.

5) Is there one big decision your club has to take or has taken? Will it make or break your season?

The decision to replace Rafa Benitez with Roy Hodgson. It appears to have already ­broken our season. I blame Roy.
