Roy Hodson in serious pressure

Roy Hodson took charge of Liverpool after Rafael Benitez left it last season, Hodson is under serious pressure after disappointing start of the season. His tactics were challenged at all levels and its now up to Liverpool fans till how long they can beer the shame.

We are not challenging Hodson's abilities, dont forget he is the one who took Fulham to Europa League final. But with Liverpool he is unable to to show his best. It is confirmed that if Liverpool fails to qualify for Champions League this season then it would be very difficult for Liverpool to retain Fernando Torres and Gerrard.

Following the last week exit from the hands of league two side Northampton reduces Red's chances of realistically winning a trophy to two in Europe and the FA cup.

No doubt he has a very talented squad but now its up to him, how he manage things in the current situation and compete with the top 4 in Premier League.

Money vs Age

Chelsea with a trumendous start will be looking to penalize city to continue their domination over the BPL. But on the other side city will be looking to cheak if there big million ponds investment will be of any good or not. As per update city as usuall will not be planning to consider Adabayor in their starting line up which is a real set back as the Togolese star was one of the most fear full strikes during his time at Arsenal. Well one thing is for sure any player who ever left Arsenal had suffered weather it was Thierry Henry or Emmanuel Petit, this can be considered as a message to Febregas weather he still want to move back to Nivao Camp. Coming back to the match well no changes expected in chelsea line up. But as per city thieir italian wonder kid Balotelli might get a chance to play again the blues.

Methink: As per recent performence chelsea have been outstanding. But thier skill will be really tested when they will face city. As before the blues didnt face any big names in BPL. If we look blue's star performer they all are in form but as per recent injuries of Kalau and Lampard Blues are suffering little bit. On the other side city are still facing some issue to gether up their reathum. But with Tevas coming back in form after scoring two goals agains wigan shows a good sign for city fans. But on the other hand city fans wold be realy anxiously waiting to see three players to fire i.e. David Silva, Toure, and Balotelli. So in the end it will be superb game but one thing for sure blues will dominate the game as per their recent performence.

Peace :)
