King Kenny ??

[kmdmr1]

You obviously never watched Liverpool last season, the football under Hodgson was dire ( would have suited Carroll's long ball skills tho)
Hodgson also made the two worst signings in Living memory, knochesky and poulson, neither of whom should be in a Sunday league team let alone a premier league team.

Carroll will not come good in a Liverpool shirt and he does not appear to have the desire to want to either.

Kenny has not bought the players, the dealings are done by Commolli, the director of Football

I would be happy with the players we have but with Rafa back in charge.

I did watch Liverpool last year and they were poor and I have done so over the past few years to be exact,And I actually work with 3 season ticket holders,who go to every game,and even they have said its the worst football they have witnessed in years,like I said IMO Dogleish is a poor manager,his handling over the Suarez v Evra affair was poor to say the least,his after match interviews are quality,any tricky question and he is off,bring back hodgson,knochesky,poulson,

No the worst football was definitely under Hodgson, but still does not excuse Kenny. We have only had 4-5 terrible performances, but 10+ bad results. There is a difference. We battered Arsenal and could have been 4 up at half time, and no-one could have moaned. Arsenal had 3 good chances and put them away. Same at QPR.

We have played some really good stuff this season, at times, but results have been poor in the league. If henderson took some responsibillty, Adam run more, Downing shot and crossed better and Carroll worked harder, got stuck in and got in the right areas, we wouldn't be as badly off. Unfortunately Kenny/Commolli bought these players.

Its not the worst football in years, It is the most frustrating!

we are playing some decent football, but if we concede the first goal then the players heads go down and the management dont have any tactical clues. Not helped by playing people out of position

not even that, wingers don't get the ball quick enough, time ball gets out wide carroll is marked easy or the crosses are terrible. carroll works too hard and doing other things, look at the size of him, put him in the box and leave him there.

You may be right, but I'd rather watch football myself. Everyone was going on this pre-season about how to get the best out of Andy Caroll, I was thinking what about getting the best out of Suarez. We need someone to lead the line alongside Suarez, which leading the line these days does not just mean playing a big lump up front. You can lead the line in many other ways. Did you also suck the aggression out of him before you transferred him?

I heard an interesting stat the other day on the radio. Lucas has been injured for four months but has still made more tackles in the premier league than any other Liverpool player, which kind of suggests the players aren't putting a shift in.

Personally I think Kenny as a manager is a myth and also that Hodgson was never given a chance by the fans and was let down by the players.

Hodgson didn't deserve a chance to manage our club. He replaced mascherano with Poulsen and paid £4.5m for Paul Konchesky.

He was appointed so the 2 money men could sell the club and that was all. He was never ever gonna be a long term manager for us. His press conferences were nothing but shambolic aswell as the famous face rub at Newcastle and his quote of "the famous win against trabzonspor". Embarrassing.

I follow Liverpool - hard to same I'm a fan as I'm quite honestly fed up and disillusioned by LFC and football as a whole.

FIFA are a joke, the FA seem totally incapable of appointing an England manager or agreeing with clubs and referees what a legal tackle is and what it is not. The Suarez - Evra thing was a shambles too - read the full FA report, I though it was an eye opener and fully explains why Suarez and LFC chose not to appeal - Suarez was guilty before the hearing started because they believed Evra more - pretty much the summary of the report.

Then Liverpool, much like England too, are living life based upon past achievements and expect that this history will deliver future success by some divine right. Footballers get a tap on the ankle and spend minutes writhing around on the floor as if they have been shot and maimed. Rugby players dislocate joints, have them snapped back into place and they play on.

As a watcher of sport, I'd now much rather spend my money and time on sports other than football, where I know I'll get value for my money and good entertainment.

Not happening for Kenny again Today, late equaliser for Saurez.
Here he got booked for diving too.

The way the league is looking and LFC are shaping they'll be lucky to finish in the top half - Europe is not happening for another year.

Can you please clarify how Europe is not happening? - The Carling Cup win Guarantees a place in Europe for Next Season - this is part of the reason why the league form has slumped, they have nothing to play for - they were awful again today, but managed to keep up our record of hitting the post more than scoring. Also looked like Kuyts shot had crossed the line from where I was in the Anfield Road end.

If they cannot beat Villa at home,they might aswell pack in,
I know they hit the post,and stats show they should of won,but at the end of the day it was another dismal performance,Sack Kenny best option.........................

I wont argue with you and I think after losing at Blackburn on Tuesday and defeat in the FA Cup semi final the owners will have no other option

Are you mystic Meg??

 

[Dodger]

It's not Kenny fault you know......

Surely time to get rid of this fud of a gaffer,can't even beat Villa who are a truly dreadful team.

 

[jpenno]

Are you mystic Meg??

If I was I wouldnt have bought my tickets for both games !

On current perfomances I just cant see where we are going to score from, the tactics and players are all wromg, today we put loads of crosses in with carrol sat on the bench, he comes on and we stop crossing the ball - someone has got it all wrong and at present it looks like the King will soon have to abdicate

 

[HawkeyeMS]

Hodgson didn't deserve a chance to manage our club.

I think that just about proves my point, he was never given a chance by the fans and was hounded out for better results than your beloved Kenny. Still at least you got a point today so things are looking up

I'm sorry but Hodgson was given at least 4 months without any brickbats, despite most not fancying him from the start Including myself. He was doing daily press conferences that were frankly embarrassing,he was never a Liverpool manager. he also played the worst football I have seen in 30 years, including the worst performances and results. He had no redeeming features.

Would Newcastle,Spurs,Arsenal,Man U,Man City,Chelsea or even Everton get Hodgson, if there manager was sacked tomorrow, would they hell.

Even in 30 years of managing throughout Europe,apart from one successful season at Inter, who still sacked him, he hasn't done much.

 

[CrapHacker]

Liverpool have to keep Kenny.

He's a old has been racist that's great at making excuses and remembering the 'good old days' whilst blaming everyone else for his, and his team's, inadequacies.

Liverpool fans wanted him, they got him, (when the sane football world was laughing at them) and he's doing as well as anyone could expect of him. He was never any good as a coach, he's been a multiple bottle merchant as a manager, and he spends as much as it takes to get 2nd rate talent, without any care about getting any value for money at all.

The best thing is, Micky Quinn on Talksport going on, and on and on and on and on about how Liverpool were going to win the title this year.

It's that kind or arrogance that makes me wet myself.
