Now now.. Maybe he still has 10 goals left in those foot of his. Pakai and buang case

Seriously, I rather BR gamble on Yesil and Morgan. Giving youngsters some chance may just bring the best out of them and it will be our gain for the long run. They score some wondergoals then they will grow in confidence.

you're still living in the past. ever since LFC sacked Rafa we've been a mid table club. i accept that and I accept FSG's plan for the future - build young. there are no quick fixes.

KD turning things around? He would have continued playing Henderson, Adam and Downing no matter how bad they played. I just wonder if it was another manager who actually spent the 100 million King Kenny has basically WASTED, where in the table would we be in? We are talking about 100 million pounds.

If you think that finishing 8th after spending 100+ million is turning around then yeah, pretty sure that's an improvement over a 6th place finish. And that was a time when we arguably still have some pulling power on some of the bigger name players so big money moves for Henderson, Downing and Carroll are pretty shrewd moves I guess.

Suarez and Gerrard should take note. Stop dribbling and passing it out of possession at every opportunity.

Added on September 5, 2012, 4:04 amOf all the free agents available I'm especially keen on the legendary Del Piero. Not an out and out striker but a supporting trequartista. Slotting him into the team will allow Borini to move into a more central position because he seem to be our only natural goalscorer. He is also a set piece specialist and have been known to score goals from outside the box. Its no secret we have problems not just scoring but also creating goals. As the City game has proved, set pieces are good alternative to go to when you can't score from open play.

Dalglish's side suffered from the same ailments we have now, an inability to put the ball in the back of the net. We outplayed our opponents 75% of the time, dominating possession and having the most number of shots on goal. We also contrived to hit the post more times than anyone has in a season. His signings may have been questionable but often, we played some pretty decent footy. Rodgers has since come in and looks to be suffering from the same problem - that we simply cannot score. Not much has changed yet but just 3 games into the season, it's too soon to judge so come what may.

My point is that Kenny wasn't doing as bad as some suggest. Of course if a person doesn't watch our games, only highlights, then their opinion would differ.

Looks like Del Piero is still waiting for us to make an offer. Coolness. Perhaps he can show Borini and Suarez how to score from long range, back heel and bicycle kick.

Regarding the Bleacher Report on poor transfers. Whilst I agree we've made a number of dodgy signings, I have to say that so have other clubs, plus we did make some really good signings in the following players:

Mark Wright, Rob Jones, Vegard Haggem, Daniel Agger, Marcus Babbel, Jason McAteer, Sami Hyypia, Stephan Henchoz, Patrik Berger, Xabi Alonso, Dirk Kuyt, Fernando Torres, Dean Saunders, Luis Suarez, Raul Meireles, Jari  & Gary Mac (on a free but still a transfer), Didi Hamann, Javier Mascherano, Stan Collymore, Alvaro Arbeloa, Yossi Benayoun, Steve Finnan, Luis Garcia, Pepe Reina, John Arne Riise, Ronny Rosenthal, and Martin Skrtel were decent to very good signings.

It mentions the emergence of Jamie Redknapp and Danny Murphy but it needs to be noted that they are local lads and were acquired from Bournemouth and Crewe respectively.

Maybe if we measures the percentage of success a club has with players by plotting the number of players signed against those who were deemed a success in an X and Y axis.

The problem with Souness was that he sold the likes of Houghton, McMahon, Beardsley and Staunton too early. They were still very good players and I do agree with the report in that the acquisitions of Speedie, Stewart, Clough (although he did score a hat trick against the mancs), Walters, Dicks and Razor Ruddock in particular were mind boggling. Houllier justified his signing of Jean Michel Ferri, who never featured in a single game by saying that he was his spy in the dressing room. The report doesnt mention Bernard Diomede who was a World Cup winner when we signed him.

We can't act based on what others are doing. We can only adhere to what the authorities are saying and if there is any truth in their words, FFP will take effect in 2013.

Regardless of big sponsorship deals, the clubs you've mentioned will still have to downsize. How much is a big sponsorship deal worth? 20-20 million a season e.g. Stand Chart. Assuming we had Yaya Toure, half of that would be used to pay his wages not including bonuses. FFP will not single handedly ensure a level playing ground but it is a step in the right direction. The amount of debt floating in the air is bigger than the economies of some developed nations.

It's important to have the person that have the presence and influence in the dressing room. Lucas is a very good player but I dont think he has that leadership quality. Almost all the managers love Lucas during their time here. None has selected him as possible captain when Stevie and Carra are not playing. Instead it goes to Reina. It says a lot.

Important day today. I hope those poor people get some long over due closure. JTF96.

Yeap.. took a toll on Kenny.. which leads to his abrupt resignation. Truly a great man.. finest ever player to don the shirt. Thats why I still bitter towards FSG for what they did to Kenny. Travel half the world just to get fired by them.

i hope u guys can excuse my lack of knowledge, but may i know what's JTF? i got a feeling that its related to the Hillsborough incident?

I also feel the same when i read new revelations how the US actually knew but hushed up soviet's accountability for the katyn masacre.

JFT 20k.

So you turned on  the telly and it just happens to be Liverpool playing and decided that was your team ? That's fate man haha.

I actually happened to support Reds due to the name LIVERPOOL. Found it nice....Fate maybe, I dunno...

I did not know "The Joker" from Batman plays for Liverpool. WHen was this? LOL

To be honest, I love Liverpool more than all my past girlfriends combined. If only I can show the same affection to a woman, I'll be the world's greatest boyfriend. LOL

Let's get a few perspectives right. We are not in crisis but our defense is in crisis after costing us arguably all 4 games. And yes, if this goes on we are relegation candidate even if we play better football. Don't get me wrong. I like the system but our defense is too weak to support the current flow of play. We don't fix our defense we are going to lose more points.

I think most of the people here just picks on Gerrard and make the most out of his mistake on passes .. he did made a few long cross forward giving the ball to Sterling .. I watched the full 94 minutes so I know. Don't expect 100% passing accuracy when you try to make an ambitious pass to your team mates ..
