Carragher is not first team material anymore. No matter if he's a legend, he shouldn't start. Give Coates a chance instead

Agree. He had lost his pace and had pass his best. KD should start to gloom Coates

I don't understand KD selection. He seem to like to select player who is underperformed (eg. Adam, Henderson and Carragher) and don't want to select those player who are on form or performing or able to contribute to the team (Maxi, Shelvey, Carroll)

Well,  tell that to your fellas in MUST. Everytime I post there, you guys said the same thing. So much about public forum eh? Comeon dont show me this double standard policy you guys have been practising for years. I m tired of that. Hypocrisy at its best.

Even I would like quality players straightaway but come on now, it's Kenny's first season so he has to get players for the near future in terms of fulfilling the homegrown quota and bringing in potential.

And honestly, Carroll and Henderson have not done much wrong. Overpaid, yes. Not enough goals, yes but they are just not contributing enough as of now but certainly nowhere near dreadful as Adam or Poulsen in the past.

You can't blame Kenny Dalglish when Carroll misses a penalty .. when Suarez decides to head the ball to Friedel's hands .. when Suarez decides to kick a low lame shot to the keeper in the early minutes of the game or when Enrique decides to sleep instead of defend, can you?

Yes, I agree that the problem has happened too many times over the past year and you know why? It's because there's so much instability in the club. Houlier had his fair share of flops in Salif Diao, Bruno Cheyrou and El Hadji Diouf to name a few. Then Rafa Benitez took over and he was in the process of rebuilding. He had his flops in Mark Gonzalez, Andriy Voronin and Robbie Keane. But like I've said, everytime a new manager comes in, they need time to build their squad. Then he gets fired and Woy Hodgson comes in to further the damage with flops like Paul Konchesky, Christian Poulsen and Joe Cole. Kenny, once again, need to rebuild the team and yes, maybe he has signed players who aren't good enough but I've seen enough of him and know enough about him to know that he can turn things around. Also let's not forget Rafa and Woy worked under two stupid clowns which in away, failure to give funds have led to the departures of Alonso, Mascherano and dare I say it, Torres.

We are not going to get anywhere if we keep switching managers every season. If Kenny is fired and another manager comes in, he'll want to sign players from where he knows most and then this process will keep going on unless stability is achieved in terms of manager's positions. The reason why Arsene Wenger and Alex Ferguson hardly get transfers wrong in the last many years is because they both have been in charge for 27 and 16 years respectively and they've probably made their errors at the beginning, only to achieve stability and trust and therefore only needed to add one or two players in comparison to the times we've changed many managers who needed to sign four at least and get rid of alot more.

I agree the British policy has not worked out but let's give Kenny the summer at least so see his next move. If he feels he isn't the man to take Liverpool forward, he'll step down because he feels no different from any of us do and in fact, he may feel even worse than what we feel because he knows he has the responsibility to us.

FSG themselves have not exactly put in alot of money to be honest. Yeah, 50 million is a decent amount but it's no where near what other teams can spend and have spent in the past. Let's not forget that Suarez and Carroll were bought from the money received from Torres so FSG did not exactly fund their purchases.

From Paul Tomkins.

Andy Carroll

As noted by people on Twitter, Liverpool’s results in the last seven Carroll starts (after Bolton): WWDWDWW; but the last seven without Carroll starting (after Oldham): DDLLLLL. That’s quite some contrast.

TTT’s senior data analyst Dan Kennett posted some great stats on the eve of the Wigan game in the site’s comments section (which is worth the subscription fee on its own!).

(Even yesterday’s game, though not included, saw Liverpool do better with him on the pitch – ‘drawing’ 1-1 – than the 1-0 ‘defeat’ of the first half.)

    Liverpool (All Comps): P40 Win%=50, Points Per Game = 1.78

    Carroll starts: P22 W13 D5 L4, Win%=59, Points Per Game = 2.00
    Carroll doesn’t start: P18 W7 D6 L5, Win%=39, Points Per Game = 1.50

Food for thought.

Honestly I don't see any problem with KD summer transfer coz I still think that Carroll and Henderson is still young and might turn out to be like Lucas in few years time. As for Downing, his last season was so damn good with lots of goals and assist but not sure why his form dipped after transfer to Liverpool. However his recently performance is getting better and might indicate that his form is coming back.

However, lot of time his selection of starting eleven of KD seem to be odd. He seem to like to select those player who is out of form (e.g. Adam, Carragher, Downing (during early season)) and not select those player who is on form (e.g. Maxi, Carroll, Bellamy).

KD tactic also is not working at all. I don't understand why every time we attack, our striker seem so be isolated by our midfield. The whole team was like hoping for our striker to be god-like mode and beat 3-4 defender and score a goal. I am not sure why our midfield are afraid to get into penalty box (except Gerrard). I am not sure whether is this is the order from KD or our midfield are lazy.

Nevertheless, I think that KD deserve another season as i believe that we had improved under him compare to last season. I think that if we keep on changing our manager, we will be heading nowhere like Chelsea.

TBH, I prefer Carroll over Crouchy anytime of the day. Carroll just need to improve his ball control and positioning inside the box and he pawned Crouchy wink.gif

Not only that he is still young, with the right guidance and attitude he would become a super good player one day..trust me...

Congrats on going to FA Cup final, us Toon Army are rejoicing that we going back to Europe as well....

Howay!

He also need to improve his balance. He seem to be bad at balancing himself and felt down too easily
