King Kenny Can't Stop The Rot

[Rookie]

Squad is good enough to be better then where they are now, fact.

Complete balls. Bar Torres (when he wants to), Gerrard and Reina exactly what else is good about that squad. Hodgson was dealing with shit players and Dalglish is dealing with the same shit. Changing the manager will do next to nothing

Where would you say the likes of Lucas, Babel, Ngog, Kyrgiakos, Konchesky should be other than mid table?

 

[Jonno]

Torres must be thinking 'what the f*** am I doing anywhere near this place?'

See! See! It is all Woy's fault. He brought Konchesky in you see.

[SNOOBS]

Lucas Leiva is class.

 

[Easy 10]

Look to the bench to gauge the strength of a squad. Liverpools bench last night was:

Gulacsi, Konchesky, Kyrgiakos, Wilson, Maxi, Shelvey, Ngog.

And that, barring Gerrard and Joe Cole, I guess is their full strength squad?

of course! nothing to do with Rafa.....

Unfortunately for them, that would indeed appear to be the case. What a fabulous legacy Rafa left behind eh.

Have who you want in charge, you can't polish a turd. If the cash isn't there for a MAJOR squad overhaul then they need to sell Torres and start again. He's not going to want to play with this shower of shit beyond this season anyway.

Q: What do Liverpool FC and a scouse girl's knickers have in common ?































A: One yank and they're down

I get a strange regard for these issues when Prem sides do well/do badly;

I kinda feel admiration for their good football when they are flying high, and this is what makes some people 'glom' onto Prem sides as "their team" - when they live nowhere near the club.
However, when they hit the skids and become shite, I'm just as pleased in disregard for the sad bastardos! It makes me happy to know that the
people who glommed and leached, are now in doubt, and the ones used to success and claiming "I'm a supporter through thick and thin" are put to the test. Also, that they take a turn at watching sporty-sport wherein their team doesn't always finish up as winnaahs.

Turncoat? Nah, after being Albion since day one that won't wash. It's that vicarious thing about watching football for good skills and endeavor - it's not important who wins or loses when it's not my team.

One thing that's changed for me lately though, is the admiration I have held for West Ham since 1966, and sympathy for them shedding so many good players to the richer Prem clubs. I don't mind their chairmen's demise if they take the drop.

 

[Easy 10]

My admiration for West Ham ended when they played a ringer for a whole season, and cheated the drop.

although I was suprised to see a Kenny thread end up in the east end!

It's one of the reasons that Hodgson would have been good for them. The complaint that he wasn't able to work with big-name players doesn't hold water because they're going to leave at the end of the season. You need someone who can build a team, making good use of money and someone with a bit of nous. What Liverpool don't want is a big-name Charlie and they certainly don't want anyone who's got firm roots in Liverpool and a connection with the club - they needed someone with an objective eye.

They're really painted themselves into a corner by appointing Dalglish, it's going to end in a lot of tears at self-pity city. Probably be a minute's silence somewhere along the lines.

 

[NMH]

I bet Fulham could be smacking their lips about having Roy rejoin them!

Benitez must be laughing his tits off at all of this. Somehow he's walked away with his reputation amongst their idiot fans more or less intact, having absolutely RUINED the club with shit. expensive and old signings all over the show. Hodgson stepped in, not unlike a complete MUG, and has carried the can for his complete shambles.

And now "King" Kenny will be afforded about 3 years to turn it round. A time period in which he will get the club no higher than 6th place and perhaps a league cup semi-final. And then when he eventually gets the chop, the media will be full of stories about how those loveable scousers on the Kop gave him SOOOO much time and were willing him to succeed at every turn, conveniently forgetting how they HOUNDED out Hodgson with f*** all support after about 5 months.

You wait, that's how it'll pan out.

This

Why did he leave last time? I was only about 10, but remember everyone being really shocked he just left, even though they were doing well

I seem to recall (although I might have it completely wrong) that we were the second to last team to play them under his first reign, in n FA Cup tie when Mike Small (?) had a perfectly good headed goal disallowed. Might be complete rubbish though

I unfortunately watched this game and their last at Blackburn. Liverpool are absolutely WOEFUL. Albion would beat them at the mo. Can't put into words how shit they are -all individuals as well - including Torres who doesnt wanna know.

Only going to get worse for them Sunday when they get twatted in the mersey derby.

Lucas is a Brazilian international and a class act, Babel is a £12m international striker who has shown glimpses of genius in his time at the club, David Ngog is a hugely promising young striker destined for great things, Kyrgiakos is an international and former European Championship winner in arguably the greatest ever defence in Euro history, Konchesky granted is not great but was still a cult hero at Fulham.

These are top players who are not doing themselves justice, a couple of new players around them and I think you will see how good these players are.

Liverpools problem is they were allowed to coast under Benitez, due to the fans over the top enthusiasm for any perceived opponents of the previous owners.
In the meantime Spurs and Citeh have overtaken them as credible contenders for the Champions league, one by being the richest club in the world and the other by employing a manager who understands how to build a squad to challenge at the top table.
Benitez managed to waste the money he was given on Babels and Aquilanies.
Hodgson inherited a weak squad, further depleted by the poor form of his two genuine star performers and the prima donna nature of footballers egged on by the melodramatic posturing of the fans.
The whole episode reflects poorly on the club, but makes the fans look even worse, making them appear spiteful, self-pitying and lacking in knowledge, accusations more normally flung at their rivals in Manchester.

He hasn't been out of football for 20 years, and he would of never stopped watching football or Liverpool. He is here as a temp as he knows the club like the back of his hands, what the fans want to see on the pitch, and the style of football the club wants. He is 59, several managers surpass that, Fergie to name one.

correct, Redknapp, Wenger and Ferguson are all older than Dalglish
