Keep Kenny, have a clear-out sale this summer. And maybe hire a coach to just focus on finishing chances instead of hitting the woodwork. :-P

Mixed emotions on seeing King Kenny go. On one hand, he brought back a trophy and almost another one. But on the other, a bitterly disappointing season in the league. And also the way he under-utilized the strengths of Maxi and Bellamy.

Speaking of new manager, I'd be pleased if Roberto Martinez DOESN'T get the job. It'll probably be another case of Roy Hodgson (no disrespect to him). Martinez might be better suited to Villa. Would love to see Pep but lets be honest, LFC ain't Barca. Mourinho - very unrealistic. O'Neill - very long shot. Who's left? Rafa and Villas-Boas. Both I wouldn't really mind. AVB wasn't convincing at Chelsea but he has a proven record before that and has the potential to be a good manager in the BPL. Rafa had a decent record at LFC. Just hopes he doesn't rotate the squad as much and puts the league as number 1 priority as well if he does get the job.

On our current players, I think our signings have been disappointing to say the least. Henderson showed flashes of good form but he looks absolutely lost when deployed on the right flank. Adam was only OK and clumsy a few times on the defensive side. Enrique was good first half of the season, really bad the other half - no arguments here. Carroll was only getting better towards the end of the season and he hasn't justified his price tag yet. Downing - definitely worst investment in my opinion. It seemed none of his shots were on target this season. Works hard, yes but rarely displayed the qualities we all know he has.

LFC definitely needs to sign better, more penetrating midfielders. And a solid back-up to Lucas. The club missed a really good ball-winner and one who does a lot of the dirty work. Spearing is only so-so in that respect. Definitely need a good left back to cover Enrique. Don't want to see Agger deployed in that position anymore cuz he and Skrtel have to be regularly paired up as centerbacks. Carra has passed his prime to be honest. Johnson is solid going forward but seriously needs to cut out silly defensive mistakes.

Squad has plenty of talent, quality and potential. Just needs some key signings in certain areas and of course, execute/finish those created goal opportunities better.

Couldn't agree more. LFC needs to determine what kind of football that they want to play and acquire players that fit or are compatible to the system. Look at Arsenal, MU or even Spurs for that matter. They more often than not sign the right players that fit/adapt to their style of football.

Of course he does. Cause he didnt match up to his price tag. Wonder how many assists he had for the season. Passing accuracy stats don't tell the whole story. Sometimes players pass to another that are only 5 meters away.

On a side note, i'd really like to see shooting accuracy stats. Should be demoralising. Lol

It's Harry Harris. Take it with a pinch of salt.

Are you sure you got the right Alonso? Cause I thought he was better than average during his first few seasons. His last season at LFC was the best of course.

Plagued by injuries? Really? Cuz only in 07-08 and 04-05 he had less than 35 appearances while he had 45 or more other seasons.

He didn't need the pace. He was bought for his passing skills to spread the play and start attacks - much like Scholes' role for MU nowadays.

Well lets hope all the vacant posts in the club are filled before the Euros start. That gives the staff plenty of time to work out what needs to be done.

What were you expecting? Pep to manage LFC? Rodgers hasn't even managed a game yet and you're already writing him off?

Exactly! He hasn't even done anything with LFC yet. But all these negative comments has made Rodgers look like he brought LFC into a relegation battle already.

LFC still needs penetrative midfielders IMO. I dunno is it just me but in quite a number of games last season, LFC had a lot of the ball but they were just passing around and not creating clear-cut chances. Hopefully BR can solve this problem with the players we have cuz I don't see big-name signings coming our way. *prays LFC can make shrewd signing like how NUFC got Papiss Cisse*
