You're being naive....You do realise though that if Kenny steadies your ship, then there will inevitably be a clamour for his long term appointment?

Dalglish is in a no lose situation....Do a good job, he gets the job....Balls it up, Roy gets the blame and Kenny slinks off back to his seat in the stand.

Would depend on who we could get.

Hiddink would be near the top of the dream list.

Dream being the word.....If he won't quit Turkey for Chelsea, it isn't likely he'd consider Anfield.

Do you think selling Torres and using the funds to strengthen a few areas would be beneficial? It could give you a bit more balance and quality across the board.

Leeds are at it again.

Depends on owners money they want to spend and Torres's plans

May be a good time to sell as his stock is at a high. As you seen with Alonso and Ronaldo with us, the top draw european players don't tend to stick around for a while. So selling him might be good business. The Red Sox have spent alot of money this winter, I'm not sure how that affects the spending at Anfield. It may be totally unrelated. I don't know enough about Fenway holdings(or whatever they're called).

Attacking once per half and scoring a pen?

Strange decision to bring Fabregas on, i didn't think he'd wanna risk him.

If Leeds win their fans will never shut up like last year, they are still talking about beating Man Utd

what's John Barnes upto these days?

Oops the referee has just made a right bollox of them 2 decisions!!



At least Ken Bates will be happy though if it's a replay £££££££££

EDIT: Having seen the second one again it was a definate penalty

Media work, hopefully will never go near another football club as a manager ever again.

I might be the only one but I'm not overwhelmed by the appointment of KD. Yes he is a living legend of the club, but he's not been in management for a while, and I just hope his training and tactics are not stuck in the 80s-90s.

I'll give him a chance and reserve judgment and see what he can do. Main thing is to get the bloody players playing together, that would be a start.

And playing them in their best posistions and not playing Konchesky, which I am sure Kenny won't do.

Agreed. I don't think (or, at least, I hope) he isn't the long-term appointment. He's a great guy who loves the club, which always appeals, but, at the end of the day, I just hope we're biding our time to see the availability of some manager who are maybe reluctant to leave mid-season.

Definatey won't be a long term appointment, mate. Im sure if KD gets a taste of it and starts getting us results, he may want to apply, but I feel that Comolli will be looking abroad for someone.

I'm quite suprised by the way the Hodgson thing went down. I would have expected him to have been sacked as he seemed too stubborn to quit, but looking at "mutual consent", Roy obviously knew his time was up. I just wonder if any compensation payments are to follow or if it has already been agreed.

Indeed mate.

How come Konchesky get's grief and the equally poor Glen Johnson get's off scot free?

Understand what you are saying mate, but I wouldn't say that Johnson has been getting off scot free. He hasn't been performing like he should be, and he'd be the first to admit it. His marking has been terrible and he's been caught out of position god knows how many times.

I think Konchesky is getting more grief because he is simply a poor player. A bizarre signing to say the least.

So a guy with limited talent, giving 100%, gets the fan's wrath, whilst a big money, international signing performing like a donkey, gets just a few utterances from the same crowd?....



I think its probably more to do with the fact that the evil Hodgson, with a limited budget, signed Konchesky, whilst the messiah, Rafa Benitez, with millions to spend/waste, signed the over-rated Johnson.

As I've said before, I'd be more hacked off with the likes of Johnson and the criminally lazy Torres, than I would some guy who, most people know, isn't particularly talented.

Good post. I agree entirely. Also, I think he was getting more grief because unlike at right back, with the exception of Kelly, who probably needs a few more first team games, we haven't got an out and out right back, where as we had a Brazilian left back who is ten times better than Konchesky sat on our bench.

My team for tomorrow would be:

Renia
Aurellio, Agger, Skrtel, Johnson
Cole, Meireles, Lucas, Kuyt
Gerrard
Torres

Subs: Gulacsi, Maxi, Kelly, Ngog, Babel, Kyrgiakos, Pacheco.

If you're not happy about it, take it up with the fans then.



Aye that must be it. Case closed then. Well done.



When a manager who has not done well goes, normally it's his signings that get the brunt everything, especially if they have "limited talent". It's part of football. Konchesky has had stick, Paulsen has had stick. Saying that though, I'm still to hear Paulsen's mum come out and give the Liverpool fans grief. After all, Konchesky's mum has already done it.

Indeed. Calling Liverpool fans "scum" and "morons", when Liverpool fans are one of the best in the world when it comes down to knowledge about football.

I take it you don't come on here that often then?
