The Liverpool FC Thread VII

To be fair we actually need the Racists to do Everton in the semi's otherwise we might get screwed out of a European spot. I'm not too confident of them doing it mind but they must be the luckiest side in the league so hopefully they can scrape through.

I want Kenny in charge for at least one more season. Hes won a trophy this season, so he deserves a chance. If he gets sacked, I would only except it, if hes replaced with a better manager. If he wins the FA cup, he should definetly not be sacked.

Kenny is a good manager, its just he's been out the game so long. He needs time to adjust as the league is different now compared to 20 years ago. It's like when Fergie first came to United his first few seasons weren't so great. He was given time to adjust and look where United are now.

If Kenny goes I don't want Rafa back, as despite having a good spell(apart from the last season), going back to Rafa will just be a step backwards, as then what was the point of sacking him in the first place.

i dont get it, if liverpool progress and beat everton, how comes our european spot will be in jeapordy?

Gerrard is obviously awesome but we can't build a team around him now. Realistically we have 7 or 8 players who are good enough to play for Liverpool FC out of a squad of 25.

Henry might give a new manager a bit of a war chest to play with but look at City - £450m or whatever it is spent and they still can't walk the league.

It looks like United, Chelsea and Arsenal will all spend big this transfer window, as well as City as per usual, and no one knows what Spurs will do - if they hold on to Bale and Modric they'll certainly be sniffing around next season too. It's a pretty depressing state of affairs all told, and I'm not sure anyone has an answer at the moment.

Because Everton would take the European spot as losing finalists. Unless they can win it. Reina getting sent off was a terrible thing for both teams.

Your support was abysmal today, not a peep from you all game.

You post good stuff on the music section but really post a load of rubbish on the football forum don't you

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ A 2nd placed award in the football awards I'll have you know. To be honest I just wanted to see the usual L18 meltdown, doesn't look like he's around though so I hope he hasn't taking it too badly. Bless him, the poor lad was still claiming champions league qualification last time he started biting.

Reina, Skrtel, Agger, Gerrard (yes I'd still have him in this bracket, form is temporary class is permanent), Lucas, Suarez. Johnson/Kelly and Enrique are good enough as well imo.

Minus his last season with the club, he was always on the money (except a few questionable transfers and tactical decisions). I think he can lead us to better days, and at least CL football.

We played better football, we looked more hungry and we had fighting spirit. How I miss those days when he would conduct a post match interview and talk about our character after going 2 goals down but winning.

Oh if it was my choice, I think I'd take Benitez. He knows the club pretty much in side out, even it might have changed somewhat in 2 years. He knows most of the senior players and was tactically spot on most of the time.
He got quite a lot of stick from the media and fans after his Ferguson 'its a fact' press conference tbh but he was good for the most part.

I'm also putting his name forward because I cant see another top class manager that is available, or someone of a high calibre that we can attract.

Kenny is a very good manager, and you can tell by some of the style of football played that his tactics are legitamate and work, however players lack the technical competence to execute them, hence why we have a midfield who cant midfield, strikers who cant score, and wingers who cant cross.

My problem with him is that he has spent millions and millions of the clubs money on ****ing lame and useless servants. if it was hodgson, he would be gone by now. I feel sorry for gerrard, he has gone from playing with players like alonso, mascherano, torres and arbeloa, to the likes of carroll, downing, henderson and charlie adam. From the season we can tell that this buy british policy is complete ****.

Our team is absolute **** from top to bottom, buy midtable, statistic signings/flavour of the months, and this is what you get, absolute garbage of the highest order. last summer, we had the makings to launch a genuine assault on the league, but bad bad business in the transfer window has cost us

Newcastles transfer policy makes ours looks amateurish/non existant

I'd like to see over the summer:
OUT
Henderson - 10-12m
Adam - £2-3m
Carroll - £8-14m
Kuyt - £6-10m (Good player but not good enough for a regular start)
Downing - £9-10m

About 50m

No more english players, two wingers, a holding midfielder, and A ****ING STRIKER.

I'm not convinced by Enrique/Suarez. With the latter, he has that spark you want but I'm not sure where he should fit in. He doesnt score enough to be the main striker, he doesn't seem to like to play with a partner up front and he can't play off a striker because he doesn't pass enough.

Pathetic. Manager is very average, as is your squad.

Can some of you apologise to WHW and acknowledge that yours truly was right about the appointment of Kenneth Dalglish?

Bring back Woy.

I'd love to see his stats with Liverpool compared with Dalglish's in his current reign as Liverpool boss.

Dalglish needs to either call it a day and resign, or the board need to show balls and fire Dalglish. Sad for Liverpool fans that it's come to this.

I think people can't deny that Dalglish has only been given this long because of his reputation at Liverpool. Given Benitez got forced out despite nearly winning a title, Villas-Boas left Chelsea after six months and Liverpool outed Hodgson in December (?), it seems utterly incongruous that Dalglish has been allowed to waste so much money to do so badly.
