Kuyt: It's like 'total football' Dirk Kuyt admits the Liverpool players have found a new lease of life under Kenny Dalglish and has likened the Scot's approach to the much-vaunted Dutch model. The 30-year-old has been impressed by the way the boss has stamped his mark on the Reds squad and has also reserved praise for the influence of new first-team coach, Steve Clarke. Kuyt said: "It comes close to the Dutch style. Playing with early pressure on the opponents and a passing game with the ball low on the ground. Not all those long balls anymore. "Dalglish and Clarke have this vision. If you have Torres and Gerrard in the team, we will be stronger against 80 per cent of the opponents when we put the pressure on them in their own half. "The combination of Dalglish and Clarke is a really good one. Clarke has come in from outside the club. "He has the same role as he had earlier with Mourinho at Chelsea. Under Clarke we now do totally different training sessions. We do a lot of positional play in small spaces. "And while Clarke is doing sessions with us, Dalglish will talk all the stress away from the players. "He is a living legend here. He has the charisma, the experience and the confidence to create peace. He also has a fabulous connection with the fans. They love him here. "I could not believe it the first time he went out on the pitch against Everton, 11 years since he last coached a team. "The noise at Anfield was incredible. With Dalglish the atmosphere at the club is changing." source |

Despite the big win, i was kinda worried about the triangle passing style that they played throughout the match. It worked sometimes but after awhile it becomes predictable hence the interceptions that gave us away to counter attacks.
Also worried it's almost 24th and no signings at all. Still need a reliable left back and a proven striker. Winger too |

QUOTE(weichieh007 @ Jan 23 2011, 11:51 AM) If we didn't manage to bring in any player by the end of the January transfer window, I would like to see Liverpool sacking Mr "Transfer-Strategy-Man" Comoli as well. I don't see the point of him sitting in Liverpool's office doing nothing.. I know we may not have Man City's bank, but Kenny or any manager would have done this by themselves; sitting and waiting for players to come? i think patience is the key. Comoli hasnt done anything wrong or right yet. We still have time. Judge him after few months.Added on January 23, 2011, 10:20 pm QUOTE(nando @ Jan 23 2011, 10:17 PM) i think patience is the key.

From the guardian.. "My missus said that," Dalglish told us. "She said: 'I'm sleeping with the Liverpool manager again, after 20 years.'" blardy scouse humour...! |

Have a read.
QUOTE Pass and move. It was once the Liverpool groove. For 90 minutes at a freezing Molineux on a pudding of a pitch, the ancient Anfield merits were revived by a manager whose 'caretaker' prefix might have to be scrapped by popular demand. When Kenny Dalglish addressed his audience for his post-match ‘King’s speech’, he appeared to have aged far better than a club whose past, present and future is dominated by the charismatic figure of its greatest ever player. With barely a grey hair flecking a full head of hair, a face worn only by a few wrinkles, Liverpool’s emperor flashed a dazzling smile, delivered a few quips and gave little away after overseeing a trademark 3-0 triumph. But for the glasses hitched on the bridge of his nose, you could have blinked and been transported back two decades to the winter of 1991, when Dalglish had last overseen a Liverpool win. Victories hewn from a domination of the physical battle followed by a demonstration of superior technique were as standard in Liverpool’s golden era as a pint of gold top. When Fernando Torres put an emphatic finish to a 32-pass move to put Liverpool 3-0 up and herald chants of ‘Dalglish, Dalglish’ and the signature anthems of ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ and ‘Scouser Tommy’ from the red-and-white division of Molineux, you could almost smell the unity that had been so badly missing in a season of crisis and instability. What had Dalglish done to conjure Liverpool’s most handsome away victory of the season in only his fourth game in charge when his predecessor Roy Hodgson had forged the most toothless travelling beast since the Elephant Man? “He is enjoying a support and warmth that Roy didn’t and he has garnered that and nurtured it,” noted defeated Wolves boss Mick McCarthy. “They are certainly on a better roll because of it.” Two who have been energised by the regime change are Torres and Raul Meireles, provider of the opening goal and scorer of the second in sensational fashion, one which would have been a standout number in a highlights reel of Graeme Souness/Terry McDermott wonder goals. Meireles, it must be said, showed signs of blossoming in to a bona fide midfield creator under Hodgson, the man who brought him to Anfield in perhaps his only semi-successful purchase. But it is uncanny that the Portuguese first opened his Liverpool scoring account against Everton last weekend and then doubled it against Wolves while a Scot in a padded coat barked out orders from the touchline. The most obvious change under Dalglish is the willingness to throw more bodies forward when Liverpool are in possession. Under Hodgson, a Liverpool goal was a signal to batten down the hatches and squeeze the life out of the game. The caginess rarely worked. At Molineux, the visitors kept the ball on the bumpy floor and committed at least four men to their penetrating attacks even when they were two goals to the good. It was not only refreshing but a reminder to Liverpool fans that the principles fashioned by the boot room are not pass their sell-by date even in an era of greater scientific, physical and tactical sophistication. The greatest beneficiary of the back to basics philosophy has been Torres, who was so subdued when Dalglish responded to the SoS from Boston that the whispers about his attitude and commitment were becoming deafening. If it came to a choice between the fans venting their disdain on player or manager, El Nino might have figured that it was one battle he was not going to win. His sleeves-rolled-up approach had been noticeable against Manchester United, Blackpool and Everton, and even more so against the macho opponents from the Black Country. “Apart from his two goals, he worked his socks off,” said Dalglish. “That performance will do for us every day of the week.” It would be foolhardy and facile to claim Liverpool’s messiah is merely picking up from where he left off 20 years ago but the difference in the approach and verve of the players compared to a month ago was stark. A hint of swagger has returned to the red side of Merseyside – and for that one man can take the bulk of the credit. |

wasn't there a rap song "pass and move" back in the 1990s that the supporters used to sing apart from the "Liverpool - We're Never Gonna Stop" tune?

YNWA Sir Bob.. forever the greatest English manager!
not to bother with the lack of signing yet. KD and Commoli know what they are doing. we may missed CL this season but i pretty confidence top 7 and hopefully KD will stay beyond this season. although it was only Wolves yesterday but you could see the renewed faith and confidence from the players. especially torres. poulsen have a cracking game? it would never crossed your mind right?

The top priority now is defence and clean sheet.
Defence is somehow still shaky and fargile a lot of time. Going forwards has been massive improving. If not the pitch condition, we could see more goals. The ball simply hard to travel or for some longer splitting pass. Shelvev should score when 1 v 1 against Gk after just coming in, may be lack of experience. |

Just watched the video highlights to try to analyse what went right. Obviously the passing has improved. However I felt that the enthusiasm and (almost) urgency with which the players performed last night made a huge difference.
Mereiles has always been running up and down, true to a description of him when he was first bought, that he is "an all action" midfielder in the same mould as Terry McDermott. However, he never seemed to have the 'cooperation' from his team-mates. Last night, he even did a lovely back-heel that was a delight to watch and he could do that because his team-mates were working together with him. I've always felt that Poulsen was not a bad player - a bit slow perhaps, but experienced and possessing good vision. Perhaps he will go on to improve and become our second Jan Molby. I think what KD said about the players having to work hard, is the key. One of the hallmarks of the all-conquering Liverpool in the 70s and 80s is the work-rate! Come on you Reds .. your time has come .. again! |

Guys if you haven't watch the MOTD highlights then you should and go straight to the analysis part at the end which shows that we indeed attack in numbers with Kuyt, Maxi and Merieles always run forward everytime we attack.
