For those drawing parallels between ORN and kenny,orn was 45 when took over while kenny came in at 60.
There must be a reason why John Henry wanted a younger manager like AVB.That probably explains why they took some time before giving kenny a permanent contract.

For me,kenny has done the ''steadying the ship'' job that woy was supposed to do.
It still remains unclear whether he is the man to take us forward.His tactics this season have been suspect and his purchases have been anything but spectacular though i can't deny the football has been positive.

Kenny won the league with blackburn but not without jack walker's dole.Can you say that he has the same backing now?
I think not.FSG are not sugar daddies like jack walker because they are a business franchise.Without massive investment you cannot expect us to improve in the league next season.Do you think only we will improve?Arsenal,chelsea,man city and united will spend to improve as well.At the end of the day,we won't cut the gap.We are merely preventing it from getting bigger.

Also if we were to go back to kenny's blackburn title winning team,it was predominantly british with the likes of shearer and sutton.Kenny understandably wants to repeat that success formula here but is it going to work?From what we have witnessed this season,it's far from convincing.Kenny's best signings are not even english for that matter.

It's still murky right now but we will be able to assess our achievements this season and it's still too early to tell if we have progressed or regressed.I absolutely loathe it when players come out and tell us we have progressed at the back of insipid performances.Please don't get me wrong and i apologise if i have been disrespectful lately but i only have the club's best interests at heart.

If in 2000's then its gotta be agger,gerrard,alonso,suarez and torres.

I concur.That's what i meant too.not on adam though

We need the martinez,lavezzi and neymar types to come in straight into our starting 11 not as squad players.Without CL we are going to find it really difficult to persuade them to come here.You have to also consider the fact that we pay lower wages compared to chelsea,city and united.The only way is to win the FA cup,get a respectable top 6 finish and offer higher wages(this depends on the owners) to attract those players here.Finishing 6th with two cups will help minimise the effects of being out of the CL.

At liverpool the goal scoring burden lies heavily on suarez and carroll.At united hernandez,welbeck,rooney mainly and berbatov & owen get the goals for them.
I know we don't like united but considering they are 1st in the table,they are undoubtedly the benchmark for success.

Hmmm,hernandez didn't start many games this season for that matter.If i am not mistaken welbeck plays more than him.But they still win.

That means we need to find players more guys like bellamy.I will always welcome players who are liverpool fans since their childhood days because you know they are not coming for the money and trophies only.

I knew you were gonna say robbie keane.But he claimed that he was a fan of other clubs since childhood as well.

He says that about every club he moves to.

If tomorrow he moves to Selangor FC,he will say he was a selangor childhood fan too.

I actually care about one more EPL game.Against chelsea......Return of torres to anfield

Just to bring up another issue,the offical liverpoolfc page on facebook has 8,864,597 likes as of now.

Mu have 23,717,996 likes

Arsenal 9,597,250 likes

Chelsea 9,300,191 likes

We are lagging quite badly behind these teams which means the younger generation find liverpool a less attractive franchise.I think it's safe to say that majority of our fan base are old timers.

liverpool 3-0 newcastle with this formation

I expect shelvey to score

Just devastated.

I didn't expect this to happen.haih...looks like we are becoming the next leeds

Probably no the right time to say this but we need to wait till the end of the season to decide if kenny should stay or not.

I was one for kenny leaving but i had a reality check and i think he deserves until the end of the season to turn things around.

Winning FA cup is more crucial than ever now if we want to ease some pain off our league failure.

There's a difference between daytrippers and loyals like duke red said last time.You have to be pretty hardcore if you go to away games.I have read that some manchester united oldtimers go to away games only because OT only sings when the team is winning.

I think failure to win the FA cup and finishing outside 6th place will most likely ensure kenny's sacking.

A lot of people on here saying gerrard did shout at kenny.

Lol. I saw a few comments. ''We should sell our players at a 20% discount''

Another one ''It should be 100% after yesterday's performance.''

Hmmm,here's the link for gerrard shouting at kenny.

Decide it for yourselves.Personally i think gerrard has been disrespectful to his manager.Who the hell does he think he is? He played like shit as well and i don't think he had the moral ground to shout at kenny.

i thought there was nothing to it the first time i saw it but you can clearly see gerrard waving his hands asking kenny to get off pitch at the end of the video.

You have a point but i don't like what i just saw.Carroll throwing his shirt off in the tunnel also isn't really a good thing to do.

I really hope there's nothing to it.
