Was I right or was I right

Now let's stop the Roy Hodgson bashing if there is still any out there doing it. He isn't nor was he ever incompetent. He may not have even been over matched by the Club. No it may well have been that this year (and arguably last year) Liverpool just sucked.

Harsh words from a Liverpool fan, but come on. We can beat Man Utd, Chelsea, amongst others and cannot beat Blackpool and my father in laws beloved Wolves. No depth, no desire and dwindling ambition? Is that it or is it more?

As my father used to say it isn't just one thing that is wrong it usually is five or six things.

Here are my top five things to fix.

1. Fix the Academy and start to develop more in house talent within the Club. Recruit these players from England and abroad. The next Steven Gerrad is not necessarily from somewhere on the Mersey, he might even be from, god forbid, Spain (Cesc Fabregas ring a bell).

2. Look to replace Gerrard and Carragher now. Identify their possible replacements as best a you can and train them in the style and method of these two legends. Don't wait until they are past it. Do it now.

3. Fix the platform of the squad by retooling the back four. Keep Skrtel and Martin Kelly (and Carra for the time being) and move on. Yes even get rid of Glen Johnson. Once the base of the field of play is fixed the play can start to move forward with a lot more confidence.

4. Invest in a new Stadium or drastically expand the current one. Look at the Gunners. There model is enviable and should be followed by more clubs that don't have rich Russian owners.This allows for more game day revenue and perhaps some real estate opportunities.

5. Play with a minimum of two strikers, and maybe even three. Yes, the time of the lone flash striker is done. The strength of the squad is currently in Saurez, Carroll, and Kuyt (and once in awhile N'Gog) and should be exploited.

There my top five, and it doesn't even include my thoughts on FA Cup over the league, and how to replace King Kenny.

That is all.

Oh yeah, Roy great job last weekend. We don't miss you , but I knew you had it in you.
