Hodgson Prepares For Turkey Test Without Big Guns

As honeymoons go, Katie Price and Alex Reid’s lasted longer than Roy Hodgson’s at Liverpool.Less than two weeks into the new season and Hodgson is manfully trying to put out the fires which are breaking out all over Anfield.The first flames were lit on Friday when Kenny Huang’s Chinese consortium pulled out of takeover talks, putting the much-needed sale of the club back to square one.On Monday came Javier Mascherano’s refusal to play against Manchester City and the team’s 3-0 drubbing, which was a throwback to the bad old days of Rafa Benitez.
