Erm, not sure if i'm too late, watched this in FB. Someone posted. So gonna watch it!!

Movie trailer: An orphan journeys across Europe to the 2005 Champions League Final in Istanbul.

how many gol maxi has totally scored now?

eh? i tot it was meireles who gave the through pass?

can't deny that we are on form now and lady luck is definitely smiling upon us. Hope this goes on for a long time

What a difference having Glenn playing in right back. It's almost as if we had a winger attacking down the right. Not trying to take anything from Flano but the difference of composure and attacking prowess between the two is like night and day.

I think Lucas right now has truly come out of his shell, he's been good this season but lately he's taken it up to the next level. If Suarez is the brain of the team then Lucas is simply the heartbeat of the team. He has the guile and intelligence of Xabi, the aggressiveness of Masc and i dare say a better leader than Gerrard. He's vocal but not dominating; a trait that has allowed his midfield partner to settle in and blossom. Spearing is just one the many midfielders he has clicked with. He doesn't dictate the play instead he distribute the ball in all direction and allowed his teammates to be more active in buildups. I don't think Spearing would be as good as he has been had Gerrard been playing instead of Lucas.

Our recent run reminds me a lot of the 2008/2009 2nd half run. we were on fire. wining matches with goals and finish the season 2nd. everyone is optimistic the following season but fate were to have another plan for us.

Its always nice to see the team winning with relying on captain wonder and the young one playing. I can see everyone is having fun on the field right now. I'm hoping the summer prep will build on the fantastic jon KD have done so far.

I certainly hope he gets a permanent deal. Problem is he wants full control over transfers and I can understand the logic behind it but we've got Damien Comolli looking after that now. Too many chefs?

My colleague told me about it this morning. Summer release. Can't wait. Looks to be a touching story and I'm glad that the magic of Istanbul is going to be played on the silver screen. Man, I shed tears each time I think about Istanbul and our half-time revival. I read testimonials from the players over and over again. I dare say very few fans would still be singing being 3-0 down. People talk about songs involving glory and riches but ours is about sticking together and at half-time in Istanbul, the fans let the players know that they still believed, and that they were still behind them. I still remember Steven Gerrard's battle cry as they walked out onto the pitch for the second half.

nice, especially when kenny dalglish appear

i wonder do forwards like amoo , pacheco , eccleston , flora , saric , ngog will hav future with liverpool .. dey oredi 20age but still didnt get the game til now

Its the same with RB ain't it. Come to think of it, most managers would've want full control over transfers since its their neck that's on the line if the transfers/results don't turn up well. Esp so for British manager, where it isn't a norm to have the Director of Football as a watchdog. More so Kenny, an old school manager in a time there's no such nonsense as DoF & managers have ultimate say in every team decisions.

taiwo n mexes oredi signed for ac.. haiz we shuld get 'em both

It was shelvey with the through ball...

that is the major transformation made by KD.

Mr Duke, i would like to read your opinion. Which would you prefer? KD have full control over the transfer or Damien Comolli have full control? i know Comolli have a decent record in signing players but Kd also have that record too.

Those of you who know our King from before, would acknowledge that he is a class act. He never whines or complains. He is a master at handling press interviews and is both humorous and spontaneous. In fact, he does remind you a little about Shankly, albeit a little less blunt. He is also fondly remembered by all Liverpool fans for his conduct after Hillsborough where he attended and gave tribute at numerous funeral services. Here are some of his quotes :-


“There is no one anywhere in the world at any stage who is any bigger or any better than this football club.” - Dalglish

“For me personally I came here to win three points and if Carlo Ancelotti (Chelsea Manager) had been playing up front I’d still have wanted the three points. The personnel and the opposition are not important to me. Whatever someone wants to do with their life, that’s entirely their choice. Our incentive was to get three points and that’s what we did and the only people who are important to me are those in red shirts”. – Kenny when pressed on Torres factor when Liverpool won against Chelsea in Feb 2011

Oldie but a good one: Dalglish couldn’t resist a dig as he walked past his rival manager in the tunnel while carrying his young daughter Lauren. He said to the radio interviewer speaking to Ferguson: “You’d be better off talking to my baby. She’s only six weeks old but you’d get more sense from her than him.”

Press: How do you stop a cruise ship?
KD: Well there's big brick walls isn't there. It's usually called a port.

Press: Where were you when you got the call, Kenny? By the pool?
KD: Like any true professional athlete, I was at the bar.

KD: I’ve not had time to do much – I’ve not identified any new staff or players or anything like that. In fact, it took me a bit of time to identify the current players.

Interviewer: When was the last time you cried?
Torres: (something or other)
Dalglish: I can't remember
Interviewer: You a hard man, then Kenny?
Dalglish: Not really... 'ave just got a terrible memory

Interview: What's your most extravagant purchase?
KK: Marriage licence

Making no apologies for this at all - my favourite Kenny quotation ever is in here:
MccKuntbag: "How can we correct the situation?"
Kenny: "You know that big headline – 'The Truth'? All you have to do is put 'We lied' in the same size. Then you might be all right."
MacKuntbag: "I cannot do that."
Kenny: "Well, I cannot help you then." - That was it. I put the phone down.

Dalglish on modern dangers with refs...."If you say Good Morning to somebody you've got a chance of getting a red card"

"Daniel Agger came off because he had a stomach problem, I knew he had a stomach problem because I went into the toilet after him!"

"If the supporters like me, then it's only half as much as I like them."

I hope KD stays as permanent manager. Really do..

i would like them working with each other..

what a win

hope we can thrash tottenham later


YWNA

I would also like to point out that aside from attending many of the Hillsborough funerals, Dalglish also entered Walton Prison to placate the inmates who were understandably less than pleased with the police.

nice

btw, liked pepe and rafa part?

3:06

those that had the opportunity to watch, witness KD in his playing days & thereafter his first stint as player/manager knows that he is consistent in his sense of homour,

well, maybe now...like fine wine0...more at ease of himself
(given the catastrophe/ disasters that had befallen on liverpool back then, the biggest was the complete shut out sentence from europe competition by UEFA, after heysel stadium disaster< to me it was as if a devil casted an evil cursed on us.

dalglish has made liverpool players comfortable with themselves, the smiles, the jokes, the spirit is clearly shown in the way we play, the way the players express themselves. At a time all the players we so sick of the upper management in-fighting (u know who la) that they could not love to play football.

the cloud has shifted, though in my opinion... it hasn't fully blowen over (just give the dalglish the job, fenway as the conflict over players transfer may just be a cancerous black spot that feeds negativity)

the 'honeymoon' period is still in at liverpool, once the pre season gets started (& once we sort the gaffer position) the real work begins.

what a nice game of "football"!
did maxi outbeat hernandez early goal?
