I usually have a calm down and a think after losing before I post. I wasn't going to bother tonight as I just couldn't find the words. Our manager has done the right thing today and saved me from typing some bullshit that may cheer you all up. "If that's the level they expect this football club to play at, they won't be here long." I know Kenny has bought players and they are not performing but if you can't play for Kenny and Liverpool, who can you play for? "If they think they can just turn up and get a result and not be competitive and not match the opposition for effort and then they have had a lesson today," he added. "If we have learned from it then fine but we have to look at ourselves - without taking anything away from Owen Coyle and the way Bolton played - and what we can do and try to prevent it happening in the future." Dalglish, who returned to the Anfield helm in January 2011, has been part of eight of Liverpool's 18 league titles as a player and manager, the last of which came in 1990. "The foundations the football club have always been built on is respect for other people," said the 60-year-old Scotsman. "It is built on the philosophy that the next game is the most important one, not the one that is two or three down the line. "If they needed a lesson to be taught to them then this was it." He seems to be running out of patience, and so he should. Football is not always about buying the best players in the world, it's about effort and commitment. Our team lacked that today. On to the next game and hopefully a lesson learned.
I need a couple of weeks at most and I could get Carrol to control a pass, why can't our coaching staff do that? I have a 13 year old son with a better first touch and I swear that is not an exaggeration.
I'm playing 3rd division sunday league and every forward in that league including me have a better first touch than carroll... true story dat blud
In all honesty i looked at the team sheet last week and thought Kenny had it all wrong and he deserved criticism for it but today I actually looked at it and thought he had it spot on...and then the players delivered that utter ****e. Kenny got it in the neck last week but this one was down solely to the guys on the pitch IMO. Wasteful and half arsed is about the best I can say for them today (Gerrard and Bellamy being the exceptions). Simply not acceptable and some of them need to take a long hard look at themselves (not that they will). The best solution now is a simple one...drop the under-performers and give a chance to those in the reserves/youth set up who may not have the so called "talent" but will certainly show a hell of a lot more desire. And this is not a knee jerk reaction it's been brewing for a couple of months. Now is the time to stand up and be counted and in the next week, those that don't step up to the plate can kiss their careers at Anfield a big fat goodbye lazy ****s
I turned it off after the 2nd goal went in, went out and got pissed instead. Much better way to spend my time. Dolgish should take some blame for his awful awful awful tryly awful signings.
This is the only comment I'm going to make on the match, but I must say, the Liverpool version of Andy Carroll is worst striker of any kind I have ever seen at the Reebok Stadium, and I've been going every game for about 8/9 years. His touch was laughable, he slowed the play down when you were counter-attacking, and his shooting was pathetic. The worst thing about it though was whenever he made a mistake (every time), he decided to go around blaming his attacking team-mates. He had a right go at Bellamy on several occasions, and went mad at Gerrard near the end. I hope you get rid of him, he is single-handedly losing you points and for a team of the stature of Liverpool, where foreigners will be watching, Carroll is a clown. When Suarez or whoever can't get the goals, the man to bring on can not be Andy Carroll if you are to get into the top 4 any time soon. Unlucky by the way, you seem to have caught us on a run of form
I don't blame Kenny. Any half descent player worth anything would take the opportunity of coming to Liverpool and to play for Kenny Dalglish and run with it, take Kuyt as an example when he came to Anfield he made up for his lack in quality with hard work. There are players who need to understand that if it is not going well then dig in and work.
Someone on JA606 said Kenny was passing the buck with those comments, I disagree. Those players - Carroll, Adam et al - were good enough for Newcastle and Blackpool etc and now they're a shower of ****e for us and I want to know why! Someone also said they were never that good to begin with. Well, Adam was prominent at Blackpool, Carroll was big news at Newcastle - still I think he was Kenny's biggest mistake no way was he worth or is he worth £35 million! - Downing was in the sports news a lot for Villa. I mean ****in' hell they were bought on promise but they've done sod all apart from the odd goal! I see no progression, no ****in' skill! I just see a bunch of overpaid overhyped ****e! Bellamy we got for next to nothing and he's worth ten of them put together!
I reckon he should go to the SPL - he might even score some goals (possibly). Id honestly be happy to cut our losses and sell him for anything between 8-12mil.
I think there are quite a few players we should get rid of. Although as bad as Carroll downing and Adam (at times) have been Kenny has come good with Suarez, enrique and (in terms of work ethos) Henderson. I think Henderson could do well if he continues to work hard and doesn't become a lazy sack of **** like some players.
Henderson is the hardest trainer according to Steve Clarke, and always wants to stay late to keep training. I can't see him slacking he's seems like a very professional young man.
I agree, he looks like he wants it, unlike some. He's a young lad and will get better and seems to be taking his opportunity.
It's funny as when we signed him for 16mil everyone was like WTF! Now it seems like we got a great deal, especially considering his age.
I know. I just hope he gets played more an more in his best position which is central midfield rather than on the right. I've been impressed with some of his passes and shots too and he has time on his side
