SORRY KENNY, IF YOU BUY AVERAGE PLAYERS, EXPECT AVERAGE RESULTS

After Saturday’s capitulation to lowly Bolton at the Reebok 3-1, Kenny Dalglish openly criticised his players for their attitude and performance in the defeat, even claiming that heads will roll after that display.

Well Kenny, it was an abject display by the team, a team you largely assembled yourself.

With the exception of Craig Bellamy in attack & Enrique at full-back, £90 million has been wasted on very average players who would not get into any of the current top four teams in the Premier League.
(Luis Suarez was brought in by the previous regime).

We were over-ran in midfield without the injured Lucas as Charlie Adam couldn’t make a legal tackle to save his own backside, Henderson had one shot on goal and zero tackles.
Andy Carroll did provide the assist for Bellamy’s goal but that was about all the big geordie did all day.
Stuart Downing has been a total flop since arriving from Aston Villa in the Summer, an England international, he has been dismal at Liverpool, God knows why, he has the ability.

So Kenny, go out and buy a quality striker and a proper midfielder before our Season is over by February, please.

LFC Players and Manager are responsible for poor showing

Following yesterday’s joke of a display against a spirited Bolton side, Kenny Dalglish voiced his anger at the attitude of the players and their lack of deisre for the club and respect for their oppoenets. That’s all well and good but is that it? Does …

Goals:M Davies 4′Reo-Coker 29′Bellamy 36′Steinsson 50′So is this what FSG feared when appointing Dalglish? A manager that should be, hopefully, exempt from criticism, but there has been so much to criticize in tactics, personnel, and transfer dealings …

KENNY V HODGSON RESULTS COMPARISON

I did a check on the respective results of Liverpool under Kenny Dalglish and Roy Hodgson before him from August to January in 2010 for Hodgson and in 2011 for Dalglish.

After our stalemate against Stoke last weekend, I felt it was time to step back and see the improvements in results at Liverpool since Kenny took over from the disasterous days under Roy Hodgson.

We are 11 points better off than this time last year and are in 7th place in the League compared to 13th and only having 26 points under Hodgson.

So while things are not ideal, we have made a major improvement with Dalglish back at the helm, despite not having Steven Gerrard for most of the Season so far and without the departed Torres, we are in contention for fourth place and one game away from the Carling Cup Final.

Lets hope for a much-needed win at the Reebok Arena versus Bolton.

Should Liverpool look within for new talent?

As Liverpool’s season slowly descends into dissapointment, and it becomes obvious to everybody outside the first team that fourth place is probably a place too far, it’s time for us to have a look at what can be improved in order to get the team firing…

The less money Liverpool spent the better. Comolli take note.
