i think kenny just experimenting with the tactics in the league since we got nothing to play for.

seriously? What u means, KD anggap BPL as game rather than match

In any team, there is bound to be some "deadwood" players.
Building a better Liverpool team is the order of the day. This is what is facing KD. LFC has been out of the CL for the past 2 or 3 seasons, so the rebuilding / remodelling of the team will be a slow and ardous. But give KD a chance, just like SAF started out with MU in the late 1980s (that time LFC rules the English Football scene)

My analysis :
1) The team style of play have been over-reliant on 1 or 2 players. Nothing wrong with that, as other teams also did that like MU relying on CRonaldo and Rooney, Chelsea relying on Lampard and Terry etc. Whereas KD is trying to instill a system of pass and move, like what Barca or Arsenal is doing and not relying on 1 or 2 players, given time, this system should bear fruit. I hope KD will elevated the youth players from LFC and after 2 or 3 years, the system shold bear fruits. Of course, the current players in the team now like Spearo, Flanagan, Jonjo etc - these are young lads to build the team for the future.

2) LFC used to play (during Houllier and Rafa times) defensive and counter attacking style of football. This type of game is good for fast, pacey strikers (eg. Owen, Torres, Suarez). I believe KD is trying to build a team who plays a controlling type of gam through "pass and move". That's why KD is playing the youngsters even though they may be underperforming in order to built a close knitted team where everyone play to a system. (Like what is happening in Barca who have Iniesta, Xavi, Messi etc.) KD brought in Henderson, Spearo etc to supplement the lack of talent in LFC youth academy....

3) I agree that some of the current buys during KD time is questionable but how much can LFC expect these players after > 6 months with the team from tactical point of view. Adam use to be the "general" in midfield (attacking wise), but here, he support Gerrard and is on a holding role and Carrol came from a team that plays direct football, and with ample supply of good crosses. But is he getting enuf quality crossess at Liverpool?

All in all, this season is definitely gone for LFC in not getting the League Championship except one League Cup trophy and hopefully win it with a FA Cup.

letting players leave just because they requested is stupid and weak, imo. and kd's policy that anyone that wants to leave, can leave made him look naive and weak. he should learn a thing or two from saf and rednap

Do note that, signing of Andy Carroll is a hasty and deperate decision. Downing & Enrique wasn't our first choice, as we're looking for Ashley Young & Clinchy but they prefer the mancs. Phil Jones & Connor Wickham also snubbed us.

With the policy FSG implements (young & wage control) & the lack of Champions League football, we'll be unattractive for a lot of big & promising names you guys dream of.

This is no fantasy football, we really have to look into the mirror and admit that we're no longer an elite that we once was.

With KD experience of working with our Academy, maybe this is the best period for KD gradually brings in the youngsters. Like how Newcastle has gone through after they're relegated.

no.. he should learn from Moyes

My friend just sent me a message, "There's no longer any hope for LFC, man."
Wanted to reply "have faith, bro" but it wouldn't be the first time, so nah.
Pessimism spreads far and wide.

Everton with basically zero transfer kitty are 4 points ahead of us

Can Liverpool bounce back tonight? Pls I beg u Reds....

Don't count on it.We are probably gonna get the ''we deserved to win'' or ''we dominated today'' excuses after the game.

Again, hv faith pal, have faith!! YNWA! haha

Faith can help you when you are down at istanbul at half time or in a penalty shoot out.But faith can't help you for a full season when lack of quality is apparent and poor tactics is employed time and time again.

Anyway,united fans a.k.a bandwagoners are back at doing what they do best- talk shit about liverpool

I guess, KD should learn from all the better and more senior people like SAF, AW, Rednapp, Moyes etc.
These people learn the hard way all these years and has plentiful experience of turning mediocre team into match winners.
SAF - no need to elaborate as one can see where MU stood in the English Premier League.
AW - look at how he transform a young Arsenal team after losing key players like Fabregas, Nasri etc.
Rednapp - 2 or 3 seasons ago, Spurs were a mid-table team, but they are chasing the top 4 spot nowadays.
Moyes - my hats off to this guy; after building a quite a good team from a bunch of average players many seasons ago, he lost some players in the transfer market in the next seasons (Eg. Players like Arteta has gone to Arsenal)and Moyes has to build a again and he never stop building and building. Finally he has a team in the top 6 - 8 placing in the Premier League.

Stability (in faith do Evertonians trust in Moyes) in the coaching and management of the football club.

Wa if KD learn both of them, KD can become GOD liao...
IMO, what KD should learn is learn from himself, don't be so stuborn!!

Moyes turn ash into gold.. example, Rooney, Cahill, Arteta, Pienaar, Jagielka, Lescott, Baines, Howard, Gibson, Rodwell, Heitinga...
while, Liverpool turn gold into ash.. example, Caroll, Henderson, Maxi, El hadji diouf, Babel, Dossena, Voronin, Aquilani, Josemi, Morientes, KEANE!!
with tat bunch of money, i think Moyes can build 2 teams tat can compete in top 10...

but of course, Liverpool do make good signing, Enrique, Skrtel... Enrique, Skrtel... Enrique, Skrtel... any1 else? or maybe "The Actor" - Suarez??

80% of Kenny's transfer have failed

no Carra plz!!!...put on Coates

No trolling intended, but look at this link :-
Kenny Dalglish talks of conspiracy
Now he is saying that referees are conspiring against Liverpool

he's in denial... this is bad for him and liverpool, and subsequently, NESV..

The English FA is full of rubbish in recent years, full of double standards and politics. Just the other day I read that referees seem to be favouring the Mancs on the pitch. England is no longer the honourable country of old and the possibility of conspiracy should not come as a shock. English football without foreigners now will be sub-standard and will lose its worldwide followers. The only advantage they have left is the language.

Yea, KD is not perfect but I still think he's the man for the job. I remember most of the forumers here praising him to the skies at one point. Liverpool need inspiration now, and arguably KD can inspire Liverpool better than anybody else.

As an armchair spectator (anybody else?), I would bench Enrique (his form has nosedived), Gerrard (he's not back to his best - will he be able to recover?), Carra (too slow and lacking strength), Henderson (too kiasu) and even Suarez (too complaining)! for the Blackburn game.

Hope we win tonight..

Learn to read properly. Nowadays, soccernet put striking/controversial title just to get people attention.



This is what KD said.
