Its all about opinions isn't it at the end of the day Roy can do no right with some at the moment, his record for Liverpool is on a par with King Kenny yet he was ridiculed and sacked and KD is a hero despite spending god knows how many millions more that RH and his job is safe as houses!
Hodgson's record as Lpool manager: P31 W13 D9 L9. Dalglish's record since returning as Lpool manager: P30 W15 D6 L9
Problem with Hodgson's Liverpool record is that his wins were
2-0 v FC Rabotnicki Away
2-0 v FC Rabotnicki Home
1-0 v Trabzonspor Home
2-1 v Trabzonspor Away
1-0 v West Brom Home
4-1 v Steaua Bucharest Home
2-1 v Blackburn Home
1-0 v Bolton Away
3-1 v Napoli Home
2-0 v Chelsea Home
3-0 v West Ham Home
3-0 v Villa Home
2-1 v Bolton Home
Bar the wins against Chelsea and Villa, and maybe Bolton, none of them were particularly impressive. They were wins again Europa League opposition that ranged from poor to mediocre, and home wins against lower end Prem teams. Just look at his record in full:
http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/latest-news/roy-hodgson-the-complete-record really doesn't make nice reading. His record away was abysmal, most of them being either thrashings (a la Swansea) or dull draws. It was also terribly inconsistent, a good win was followed by a disappointing draw or a shocking defeat. Plus his Liverpool days somewhat parallel his here so far, a promising start (wins against Europa League opposition, a win against WBA, a draw against Birmingham and a commendable showing against Man United, the only real downer pre Northampton Carling Cup being a 3-0 loss v Man City) but then it all started to go downhill beginning with the loss against Northampton in the cup.
Maybe having Dalglish breathing down his neck didn't help, and maybe he didn't get the funds that Dalglish got, but the fact is Hodgson failed big time with Liverpool, a Liverpool side which had several world class players.
It might seem that I'm pettily having a go at Hodgson, but I'm just stating the facts. Nobody can deny he did a great job steadying the ship with us at the end of last season guiding us to safety, but not many can deny his tenure with Liverpool was very poor and he's done a sub-par job here so far this season. He still has a lot of questions being asked of him that need answering, he hasn't proved anything yet.
