The Official Liverpool thread

You Villa fans should ease up on GH too, you wont go down, and given time he'll do a good job.

[Winrew]

Excellent ( long ) post Swoops , you thought about writing a book ?

[Swooperman]

No, you don't get enough time

[Gavster]

Kenny has been quoted as saying, "it'll take time" to repair Liverpool's damage.

Funny that. Didn't Hodgson say something similar?

Just how deluded are these fans? Without going into the huge detail Swoops did, it just seems they think they'll be in the top-5 by the end of the season just by appointing their hero. Hodgson didn't have a stab at a transfer window under the new management, so he's still largely playing the hand dealt to him by Rafa, which lets be honest, was made up of only 3 or 4 outstanding players.

It truly is a shame for the poor bloke. He's getting the blame for Rafa's piss-poor purchases. Nice £7.5M pay-off though

So Kenny, they think, is the answer. Well he was last in charge of Celtic back in 2000 which was a fairly short appointment. Prior to that he was at Newcastle, where he was shit. At Liverpool and Blackburn he had money to buy, so results were obviously better.

Now football has changed rather a lot since he was in his prime in the nineties. Liverpool has also changed rather a lot too. The team is on the slide big time. There's little new blood to pin your hopes on being the next big thing as Rafa did little to lessen the burden on Gerrard and Torres. So with money still being tight, I don't understand what Kenny can do, that with time, Roy couldn't have done.


I just find the whole thing very bizarre

ust turned on the United Liverpool cup game. Every time I see him it fills me with fresh amazement at how the hell Lucas is playing professional football at this level.

I remember a few years ago a random member of the public managed to get into a pre match team photograph as Man United posed before a game but this is the first time I've ever seen one actually get on the pitch and play.

Fucking useless cunt.

I thinks its rather delusional too as Hodgson was dealt a bad hand of cards and those have just been passed onto Dalglish, you can't sell some of your best players and expect whats left to pick up the pieces, Hodgson is a good manager and not become a bad one overnight, given a full summer of pre season training and some cash to spend, History tells us he would have done a good job.
Liverpool also have a lot of dead wood left over from Benitez'z time there, I'm pretty sure Hodgson would have got rid of that too once he had time to bring in his own players, and I'm not talking of the likes of Kanchelski either who was more of an emergency signing.

Can Dalglish do any better? I don't think so but hope he can stir up enough passion until the end of the season at least as Liverpool need to try and rekindle soemthing to get out of the rut they are in otherwise its not impossible they could end up in a relegation dogfight.
This Summer will probably be one of the most important in Liverpools history as major decisions will have to be made and it will test the resolve of Liverpools new owners to see just how comitted they are to investing in the club.

For Liverpools sake I hope they come good as I've always had a soft spot for them due to having enjoyed watching them play when they were at their best during the 70's and 80's, probably the best club side I have ever seen.

Nice post too Swoops, I've bookmarked it half way down and will finish it off after the City match

[Punter]

I'm not bitter or ought but..

Howard Webb managed to last all of 20 seconds before awarding his fourth penalty to Manchester United from his last six games in charge at Old Trafford. Does his MBE stand for Manchester Bias Everytime?

[Swooperman]

Credit where credits due

[Punter]

Cheers Swoop'

We just won at Chelsea, against Torres, without Torres, without Carroll and without Suarez

[Gavster]

Nice one Kop.

I have to say, I'm well happy Liverpool beat Chelski. Good to see them stick it to Torres and moneybags Abramovich.

Torres eh... Why commit £50m to him?

[Swooperman]

I think if he rediscovers his best form, as he was starting to look like he might in the last few games at Liverpool, then, & you have to bear in mind his age, hes a decent signing tbh. Liverpool couldnt turn that price down, neither could Newcastle (neither could Sunderland)

[Punter]

I think Torres will shine at Chelski, eventually. Is he eligible to play in the CL? I wouldn't be to surprised if he gets a winners medal if he is.

I've been seeing snippets of this rumour over the past two/three months, the ball seems gathering a bit of pace too...Reina linked to Utd
Pepe Reina opens the door to a £20million transfer to Manchester United | The Sun |Sport|Football

Best goalkeeper in the world imo and i'd still say the same if he does move.

Of course he is Kop, on account of his previous team not being good enough to play in the competition this season (or next).

Hope this helps
