Former Liverpool manager Roy Evans has slammed Liverpool's continuing inability to put chances away, and he's once again called on the club to sign a goal-poacher in the summer.
After Liverpool's latest home defeat against West Brom, Evans told LFC TV:
"It's embarrassing to dominate a match so much and not win.
"At this level, to be a great team, you've got to have a far better percentage of your chances in the back of the net.
"At Anfield, we've been our own worst enemy. Good teams sometimes win with three or four chances, but we can't win with 20 chances.
"Had we scored 20% of our chances throughout the season, we'd be in the top four right now".
During Evans' tenure as manager, scoring goals was easy, especially with the likes of Robbie Fowler, Stan Collymore and Steve McManaman in the team, playing alongside legends like John Barnes and Ian Rush.
Rushie was at Anfield for the West Brom game, and he must've pulling his hair out at the poor finishing on display.
Alongside Evans, Reds legend Ian St. John dismissed the possibility of an Academy striker being promoted to the first team in an attempt to solve the goalscoring crisis. He said:
"You're not going to bring a kid up from the youth team, put him in there and expect him to do it [score 20 goals a season]"
Why not? It's not as if the likes of Raheem Sterling, Adam Morgan et al could do any worse than Stewart Downing (no league goals/assists), or Andy Carroll (4 league goals), is it?

Sterling could do no worse than Downing and i think the poke Downing needs is to be dropped in favour of the lad the club really has nothing to lose .

andy carrol has been fantastic for the last month or so. get off his back!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Roy Evans "it's embarrassing" In terms of the league it is obvious that we haven't improved points, goals etc wise but performance wise we look at better team. I agree we have been lucky not to win most of the games we've drawn or lost at home but if this continues in to next year is it really good enough to say were playing well but we are just unlucky.... answer is god damn no!
ReplyDeleteIt's a results based business and you get nothing for playing well whilst picking up so few points as we have found out so often this season. Major changes need to happen throughout the summer or we will be no nearer to the top four than we are this season.
Maybe that's a change of manager I don't know, I love KK but the one thing I really do think he lacks is how to win premiership games. Signing wise even tho most of them are letting him down at the moment I was happy that we bought them for reasons I've said before even tho I didn't agree with the price tags of Carroll, Downing and Henderson.
If KK does stay then he really needs to get the form in the premiership sorted because as much as winning cups is brilliant even if it is the carling cup the league form and position is like Evans said "embarrassing". He also needs to make sure the signing he makes and the ones he has already made live up to the expectations of playing for Liverpool FC because a lot them look like they can't hack the pressure.

scoring goals is one thing but the worrying thing also has to be that teams like blackburn and qpr are scoring against us, yes we need a out and out goalscorer but i think this team needs revamped for top to bottom ,reinas standards have dropped badly and the midfield are average at best,suarez and carroll are not to blame but the lack of two creative midfield players is,,we badly need a modric mata silva xavi ozil kaka thats where the real problem is ,,get that wee fella from napoli lazzette or someone similiar to unlock defences and see a pass that neither adam henderson or downing possess ,,
ReplyDeleteI don't know how any assessment can be considered harsh for this disastrous team and manager.
ReplyDeleteLiverpool will win the league next year. Place your bets now!
ReplyDeleteThe manager need to be sacked as he is not managing, and the squad needs to be decimated, sell virtually every player and totally rebuild the team, easier said than done like but thats whats needed, get rid of the spineless chokers and serial letdown merchants, they are a DISGRACE!.

We should fire the shooting coach, if there is one. 26-28 attempts and zero goals. Chief culprit? Kuyt. As we have witnessed this season, he cannot score from pointblank range, from 10 feet, out wide or even when he is without a defender on him. the only way he scores is when there is a major crowd and he makes a mistake. This necessarily means he is overthinking, which we know is not instinctive. Downing and Henderson were totally useless yesterday, and Glenn Johnson did a Jamie Carragher and gave away a goal. Let's pray this does not become a habit (like Jamie Carragher).
ReplyDelete21 times on the woodwork this season! No luck or lousy finishing? Or lack of preparation and drills? Surely the moneyball experts should have zoomed in on this statistical anomaly and addressed it by now?
ReplyDeleteIt's Kennys' team mate, they're crap. Should'nt be hard to fix with money? how about the £115 mill he's already squandered?
ReplyDeleteaCOUPLE A GOOD STRIKER AND EVERYTHING WILL WORK FINE
ReplyDeleteI dont know about firing the shooting coach but a full time optometrist may help.
ReplyDeleteYes, Roy's right, it's embarrassing. Worst liverpool side for 50 odd years! This lot will get us relegated next season.

pretty sure its a record 30 times that we've hit the woodword this season, not that i'm counting ;)
ReplyDeleteI was watching the skills challenge on the official website where one of the aim was to hit the crossbar or post??? We have to stop this because the players are obviously taking this to heart and have been excelling at this!!!
ReplyDeleteIf Dalglish/Comolli/FSG got anything wrong this season, it's not accepting in December that the strikeforce isn't good enough and therefore, not investing in a striker in January.
ReplyDeleteNow, it may be that they did accept this behind closed doors and that there simply wasn't any budget left. Maybe there just was not a striker available that was worth taking a risk on - once bitten, as they say.
For me, we have been performing a lot better than at any time since Roy Evans left the club, except for the lack of goals, however, aside from when Torres was at the club, we haven't had a striker who lived up to their price tag since Ian Rush.
As for the conceding of goals. The vast majority of what we conceded this season have been down to mistakes from Reina, Carragher and Johnson. Fair enough our other defenders have had the odd gaffe, but they have either been one-offs or inexperience.
For me, if Dalglish swings the axe in the right places and gets in some better/more reliable players to replace them, then I'm for giving him another season. If he buries his head in the sand and ignores the obvious - we can't score in a brothel and the liabilities in the back five - them we need rid of him, but fair's fair, he can't act until the window opens can he?
And anyway, who would you replace him with, bearing in mind that Chelsea (and then whoever they poach their next manager from) and Spurs are going to be ahead of us in the queue for the top managers? While we're at the 'next manager' game, the most common question when people start bandying names about is, "What has he ever won?". If we win the FA Cup next week, and I fancy our chances, Kenny Dalglish will have a better managerial record JUST ON THIS SEASON ALONE than the 'highly rated' Harry Redknapp has in his entire life.
fantastic?? really?? scoring a couple of goals as well as missing a heap of golden opportunities isn't exactly fantastic, scoring 2,3 goals in a match or scoring in consecutive matches could warrant being labelled "fantastic". I'm a reds fan and will be till the day i die, but i will only give credit when, or if its due and Andy hasn't played consistently well to deserve to be merited on current performances

I like Kenny as a Liverpool legend and respect what he has done for the club in the past. I don't think he is the man to take us forward, but it's really sad how his once untouchable aura is now going. A couple of years ago before his return, no one would have blackened his name. Now it seems e is slowly being dragged through the mud. It's not the fans fault, we are used to winning. I just think it would be better for his own sake to step aside at the end of the season. I's not his fault our strikers have forgotten how to finish. The amount of times we have hit the woodwork, had the majority gone in, as someone else previously stated, we would easily be top 4.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with Roy. We are desperate for a striker who is already on top of his game and not one who is going to take a season or two to 'settle in'. Yes, we had plenty of chances on Saturday but chances don't win matches. The sooner this humiliating season is over, the better !
ReplyDeleteYou seriously think we are going to sign 2 good finishers we've needed to sign decent wingers and a striker for the last 4 years we end up spending 100+million in one summer yet we still need better strikers. Our current strike force is worth 60 million but we still need a another striker..... see the pattern
ReplyDeleteI don't think the squad needs huge changes with the right buys we can challenge for top 4 just look at newcastle they got promoted bought the right players and are now odds on to finish 4th.. buy 2-3 new players bring in sterling and the rest of the young lads for a break through and we have a real chance
ReplyDeleteto be fair, what more could KD have done?? That game opitimised our season. For 89 minutes we absolutely battered west brom on every level, however 1 mistake led to a goal for them. people blame KD, he set up his tactics to overun westbrom and liverpool did, but KD does not control people with a joystick, he must be astonished like the rest of us that chances are not being put away.
ReplyDeleteLiverpool have lacked quality finishing all season, it is the reason why we have been beat and drawn so many. look at arsenal, they would be mid table without RVP, a person who is deadly and only needs 1 or 2 chances per goal and it is ultimately what liverpool lack.
people have said it maybe down to drills and training but i am sorry; players like surez, bellamy, kuyt, and carroll are professional footballers and are paid to score goals. what we witnessed was not crap football it was crap finishing and it is not KD's fault that someone who is paid thousands a week cannot hit a ball on target from less than 12 yards.
What tactics can KD employ for 12 yards out??? the only tactic you can employ is shoot on target and score!! his tactics created loads of chances but it is ultimmately up to the player in that circumstance to finish it.
I can guarantee that if liverpool get someone that can finish with composure and does not need 20 chances per goal, then we will batter teams. liverpool are missing a fowler or shearer someone that only needs 1 or 2 chances to score.
People will ultimately blame KD but to be fair any person could have been on the bench as manager and it would have been the same result as a manager has no influence when someone is less than 12 yards out. his tactics are there to ensure that the chance is created, ultimately it falls to the person on the end of the chance to ensure it is slotted away.
If we need a poacher, Raul is available on a Bosman, I believe. We may not get him however, if this report is correct:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/3275/bundesliga/2012/04/19/3046707/auf-wiedersehen-raul-schalkes-spanish-superstar-leaves
It seems to me that carrol gets a lot of flack, but the main culprit for missing chance after chance is suarez. His build up play and tricks are all well and good but for a striker its the end product that counts eg goals.
ReplyDeleteI seem to remember a real madrid manager talking about an X liverpool striker saying all he does in a game is score goals. In my humble opinion that is what you pay a striker to do and thats what we need a preditor
Wanted to reply but all that was needed to be said was posted in J-ROY's comment. How can you be that delusional? It's barely believable one can have such short memory just because they want to find excuses for somebody.
ReplyDelete"To be fair, what more could KD have done?" Oh, I don't know. How about not splashed £80 million on four of the worst players I've ever seen in a Liverpool shirt and continue to play them week in week out, while phasing out anyone without a British passport.
ReplyDeleteAnyone who can't see that things are terribly wrong at the moment, and that the current set up is responsible for it, is not really worth having the debate with anymore. Level on points with Fulham, behind Everton, Sunderland breathing down our neck, ridiculously low number of home wins, but what more can KD do? Worse still, he doesn't look as if he knows how to fix this.
ReplyDeleteSuarez is a striker cum midfielder and yet he has scored more goals than the out and out striker namely Andy Carroll. It's not Suarez's fault, it's Dalglish you want to blame for loading the team with dud players.
ReplyDeleteNewcastle got rid of Barton, Nolan, Carroll, Enrique and others, and in doing so abandoned their direct approach for a passing based game with a team of largely foreign players who were as cheap as chips but high in quality.
ReplyDeleteComparing Liverpool and Newcastle is not even close. Newcastle have real talent. Liverpool have a bunch of average premier League 'proven' players who are masquerading as galacticos due to their price tags.
Make no mistake about it, Liverpool need big changes this Summer. That means bye bye CHAD, bye bye Kenny and hello to a new manager. That is the only way Liverpool will progress in the long term.
As sad as it may be, one possibly two cups does nothing to heal the financial wound of finishing at best 7th in the league after spending £120 million on players.
Exactly, our midfield could've been the strongest part of our team with Aquilani, Meireles, Lucas and Gerrard but we scrapped that plan and ripped it to shreds to replace it with poorer players.
ReplyDeleteHe works hard so he'll get the odd goal but he's still a very average player and if he's going to be the Liverpool future, I'm sure a lot of fans won't be looking forward to it at all.
ReplyDeleteTo be fair, Sterling couldn't play against West Brom because he had an important Geography test the next day.
ReplyDeleteRight, let's make Kuyt the scapegoat for our season. He's not a great finisher but it's hardly his fault the signings have been so bad.
ReplyDeleteOtkcane, are you Andy Carrol's brother?
ReplyDeleteDalglish is of his meds. Week in and week out, Dalglish gives the fans a team that is far from ready to play. I truly feel now Dalglish has ruined a club that was once so feared and turned it into a ground were clubs like WBA and QPR can come and get three points. If it were up to me, he would have been long gone around january so that we could have at least finished nearer to the top 4. But no, now we may finish our season in either 10th or 13th at the worst. All thanks to the old man who clearly doesn't know modern football if it hit him upside the head. I'm not a religious man but I'm praying for Dalglish to be fired at the end of the season. YNWA!!!!
ReplyDeleteThey're not crap, far from it. Liverpool destroyed most teams this year with lovely passing and chance after chance being created which is what all football fans want. Obviously we're missing a small piece of the jigsaw up front that Kenny will take care of. Suarez plus Luis came out of that 113 million..
ReplyDeletei hope you don't take this the wromg way but statements like that make you sound like an idiot.
ReplyDeletethere was bargains out there in january.
ReplyDeletei thought we should have gone for jelavic,a steal at 5 million.i know we were linked him before and we should have gone back for him.8 goals already since january.
cisee at newcastle is another that shows we didn't need to break the bank to sign quality.15 million for both,we could have sold carrols left leg and ponytail to afford them.
i'm just sad, sad, sad...
ReplyDeleteLiverpool play great football that Benitez didn't so I enjoy watching Liverpool but Kenny needs to buy better players, he wasted money sure, but what manager hasn't. Look to the future it's bright and red.
ReplyDeleteI sincerely hope you're joking.
ReplyDeleteNewcastle team isn't better than Liverpool team. There's just too much pressure on Liverpool players that Newcastle don't have and don't forget Carroll was their best player and Liverpool's worst, that says it all.
ReplyDeletecarroll was bought to score goals-he doesn't.
ReplyDeletehis record in the league is a disaster.
now that commoli is gone i suppose kennys apologists will start turning on the players
ReplyDeleteOf course I've been annoyed with losing but I know that style of creating chance after chance with great movement plus better players could bring back the league to Liverpool. Kenny's only downfall has been the players he brought in.. Just look how good Liverpool were at the end of last season playing that way.
ReplyDeletehow was he their best player?
ReplyDeletehe relied on service from barton and others.
he was a good player for them but they saw the money and knew they'd never get such an over the top amount for him ever again.
to say newcastle don't have pressure is silly,their fans are ridiculously fickle and will expect them to win the champs league if they qualify.
newcastle have better players than us-cabaye,tiote,ben arfa,ba and cisse.that' s why they are better off than us.
the squad needs an overhaul.
ReplyDeletekuyt,spearing,downing,carroll,johnson,henderson-all of them aren't good enough.
Umm, what? If Newcastle aren't better than Liverpool then why are they 16 points ahead of Liverpool and looking at possible Champions League football? If Liverpool's failings really are because of pressure then those lads are in the wrong career.
ReplyDeleteCarroll wasn't their best player at the time, Nolan was, but they got the best out of him, Liverpool haven't and they then replaced him with two other strikers who have been far more prolific.
You shouldnt be on this site fella, you talk too much sense.
ReplyDeleteOf course you have to blame the players. They are the ones out on the pitch.
ReplyDeleteBesides Henderson and Downing, Johnson has also been poor. Just calculate the number of points lost due to mistakes made by Johnson in the past. Mourinho was smart as he got rid of the guy in his first season. The guy is a walking time bomb who has serious defensive lapse in every game. Kenny should consider bringing in Kelly and selling Johnson in the summer to one of our rivals for fourth position like Spurs or Newcastle. Then fourth position is assured next season.
ReplyDeletei know,i was being sarcastic.
ReplyDeletebut kenny can't be free from blame,it's his team and tactics.and carroll/suarez/henderson and downing are all his underperforming signings.
will you shut up its embarrassing reading ur comments ,
ReplyDeleteYou're the one who is wrong. Next season, mark the words.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. The team is deliberately losing this season, so that when we win the league in the years ahead, people will realise the dramatic nature of our successful turnaround.
ReplyDeleteFair enough. Although his tactics are creating chances.
ReplyDeletelol,its been a weird season,well hopefully we can go win the f.a cup.think were the most frustrated fans in the country,we still need a lot of work doing to our squad,FINISHER 1 CHANCE 1 GOAL,miss them days with the likes of owen fowler,an even torres,cam also,plus rm,lol ya alot of work needs doing to the squad.ynwa
ReplyDeleteBosh. You sway like the wind don't ya. Absolute nonsense. This lot will are a creative midfielder and a striker short of a league title. Just you watch. Suso and Sterling comin through the ranks. Scorchio. Chin up lads.
ReplyDeleteyou're deluded buddy.
ReplyDeleteu wos right daglish wos the right choice lmfao
ReplyDeleteI said brining in 2-3 quality players exactly like newcastle did there was no place where i mentioned any of our players would stay combined with the highly rated young stars there is no reason why we can do what they did with or without kenny at the helm personally without
ReplyDeleteITS CRAAAZY TO SUGGEST THAT ITS KENNYS FAULT THAT WE AREN'T SCORING ENOUGH EVEN THOUGH WE JUST SPENT 60 MILLION ON 2 STRIKERS WHO CANT GET 15 LEAGUE GOALS BETWEEN THEM LETS GIVE HIM ANOTHER 100 MILLION AND HOPE FOR THE BEST
ReplyDelete'play poor and still win' the sign of champions they say looks like west brom and every other team that have come away from anfield with 3 points is going to win the league. I remember the days when we were teams were scared to come to our ground.
ReplyDeleteLet's go through every position and see who'd get a starting place. Tell me if you make your team differently?
ReplyDeleteTim Krul
Johnson Agger Skirtel Enrique
Ben Arfa Lucas Gerrard Gutierrez/Maxi?
Suarez Ba/ Cisse
krul
ReplyDeletekelly skrtel agger enrique
gerrard tiote
ben-arfa cabaye suarez
cisse
i'd base that selection on current form,i'd start kelly over johnson any day of the week.
ur all deluded bring rush back best striker theres ever been not just in uk but the world how much would he b worth now? this team needs to go get them all out of there and dalgleish start from scratch this is not lfc anymore passion gone nuff said
ReplyDeleteNo Lucas!! He's our best midfielder. I wouldn't swap Lucas for any holding midfielder in England. In your team there's still more Liverpool players than Newcastle players anyway.
ReplyDeleteIf you include all competitions then it is 30 so far. Its already 2 more than the previous record. (ManUre 06/07)
ReplyDeleteHowever: when ManUre hit the wood 28 times they still did a lot better than 8th!!!
I think we will need 2 strikers tbh, one as a poacher and another to replace Suarez when he does the off in the summer.......
ReplyDeleteI swear, only with Dalglish in as manager will people even tolerate this justification. Any other manager with Dalglish's record and cluelessness as to how to turn things around, and the fans would be crying out for him to be sacked.
ReplyDeleteAnd what is he wanted to bring in more of the same overpriced non-World Class talent British players like Carrol, Downing and Henderson? Liverpool were also very good last season when he respected Meireles for his form (not sell him to start Henderson and Adam), and Maxi for his phenomenal return in assits and goals as a winger. Why does he stand by this managerial decision when it has made the the team worse? Is this a good omen to the future of LFC?
ReplyDeletePoor finishing. Nothing to do with luck, there is enough room (in think around 17sq m) to hit the target and it is down to poor coaching. Have a look at how Reina's performance has dipped. Isn't it telling that the goalkeeping coach has been sacked? Comolli, the goal keeping coach, chief of medicine are not responsible. I wonder if Kenny and his assistant are coaching them.....If they are not, someone is at fault.
ReplyDeleteAren't you forgetting his amazing winner against MUFC in the Cup?
ReplyDeleteI say screw all the hating negative posters on here. Do what I do. How about not using our brains and just go: *clap*
ReplyDelete*clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* Dalglish. If we do it
enough we're bound to be rewarded for our blind loyalty with a top four place next season. After all after
everything KK's done for the club, we may as well stick to him with as much
irrationally as we possibly can. I'm telling you man, this works.
Ahhh look a fairy!
If the players start leaving in the summer due to a lack of faith in the future of the club under the Dalglish, I for one will start to blame the groundsmen. Blasted groundsmen always think they're too good for anyone.
ReplyDeleteyep, totally agree with your sarcasm. Give Kenny another 100 million. If you ask some of our fans, is not his fault. 17 sq meters of space but we hit the posts....what a bad joke. Every record has been broken (not the right ones either). Time to spend 60 million on Carlton Cole, Grant Holt and watch the goals fly in.
ReplyDeleteis not bad finishing, is bad coaching. When are some of our fans going to open their eyes. I am losing it
To be honest if he planned on doing the same thing with buying more Downing's etc I would want him gone! But he's no dummy I believe he's learnt. I agree, he sold the better players and replaced them with average ones, that's why I know with better players and Kenny's style of play can work brilliantly. I think Liverpool owe Kenny one more year to find out.
ReplyDeleteHere we go again. Same boring agenda from Jamie. You have no clue about football. This piece could have been about the subject the headline indicatet. But no, you just had to criticize the current players. So predictable. Embarrassing!
ReplyDeleteWell said, no passion. We need more English players who show guts on the field and make us proud. Lets add some more English players to the ones we already have. it is the rest of the team that is to blame.
ReplyDeleteI say blind faith is the way to go. There, I said it.
ReplyDeleteHow about not using our brains and just go: *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* Dalglish. If we do it enough we're bound to be rewarded for our blind loyalty. Afterall after everything KK's done for the club, we may as well stick to him as irrationally as we possibly can. It's not like he's French. He's Kenny Dalglish!
ReplyDeletesome of you aint got a clue, we are progressing you cant expect all them signings to hit it off in 40 odd games lets see how we are after 100-150 games before passing judgement look at united chelsea even city to an extent have played for 3 years or more with the same spine tp the team.WITH LUCAS back and we need a proper winger and a striker who poaches goals for fun to play off suarez bad next year we wont do to bad but all in all some of the footy weve played has been superb at times. if we can turn these chances into goals more often we would be at least 15 points better off thhis year. all you man wanting kk out are probably the same who moaned coz rafa was so negative and boring but want him back now....... GET REAL AND SUPPORT THE TEAM
ReplyDeletePATRICK THE RED fair play to u mate chatting sense ,
ReplyDeleteif we had ben arfa and cisse we would be lethal we need a propa goalscorer(CISSE) and a unpredictable winger (bEN ARFA)who makes things appen WE HAVENT HAD THAT TYPE OF PLAYER FOR YEARS
maybe yakuba.... cheap and prolific scorer.
ReplyDeleteMuppet. We have not won a thing in six years before kenny returned. Some of you people are total idiots, lacking in any kind of knowledge or intelligence. If kenny wins the fa cup he will have the same number of trophies in his first season as benetiz did in his entire reign.
ReplyDeleteYou are the only sensible person on this forum. Absolute mindless idiots, possibly two trophies in his first season. That's equals what rafa did in 6 and fergie did in his first 5. Some people need to get a grip of reality here!
ReplyDeleteNewcastle fans are ridiculously fickle? Look in the mirror Titi, you guys are pathetic
ReplyDeleteAt last, someone who speaks sense rather that the idiots throwing their toys out of the pram because we haven't achieved success immediately. How much money have man u, chelsea and city spent over the last few seasons and people think that thirty odd million net spend can win the premiership after we've sold all but a couple of world class players?
ReplyDeleteThen these same nutters go on about how it's KD's fault.
Get a grip kids and show some faith in a Liverpool hero who has experience and know's more about the game that all of you put together.
i think on this seasons form tiote is a better player than lucas.there's an over emphasis on the role of defensive midfielder.if lucas added goals to his game he'd be a better player.i rate him but i think his stock has gone up since he's been injured,alot of fans seem to think our season would be miraculously better if he hadn't been injured.
ReplyDeleteTiote-Cabaye
ReplyDeleteThe best central midfield pairing in PL this season (the main reason for me), for me anyway. Lucas has been out injured for ages and Gerrard is not the Gerrard of past. So on that basis, I would go with Tiote-Cabaye in the middle.
I guess I am going with form over this season. Maybe you are too in some positions and strangely, not in others, such as Krul over Reina (on form, right choice....in my view) whilst picking Stevie and Lucas who have hardly done anything this season in terms of consistent form.
Krul
Kelly/Johnson
Coloccini
Agger
Enrique
Cabaye
Tiote
Ben Arfa
Suarez
Demba Ba
Cisse
whatever my friend.
ReplyDeletewait til yee turn on pardew and sell cabaye and ba in the summer.
It is Suarez fault, when it comes to his composure in front of goal. All that dribbling and weaving that results in a scuffed shot.
ReplyDeletethink Rafa's CL aces Kennys Carling tho
ReplyDeleteBut didn't we sign a winger and two strikers, worth £80m+, already last year
ReplyDeleteYou want us to sign a winger and a striker, yet want us to give the current lot time to settle?
Love how these websites are full of moaners calling for the managers head, when most posters are either foreign or couldnt find anfield without a map...
ReplyDeleteIf Kenny was a financial manager at Standard Chartered he would be shown the door.FSG can't make money out of Liverpool unless they make the club an attractive proposition to another buyer so they will have to speculate to accumulate. Will they trust Dalglish with another war chest? My head says not
ReplyDeleteI agree mate, its funny the king kenny love brigade use the words mindless and idiots. POT KETTLE BLACK I SAY. Even roy evans has come out and said its an embarrassment at the moment. But some people have no standards or ambition in life and if we lose against chelsea in the cup theses so called fools will go into hiding as usual. No one gives too hoots about the cups theses days, its all about the prem and champs league.....men from the boyz!! No wonder we have not won the league for over 22 years.
ReplyDeleteDon't quite follow your thinking in that " we are progressing" when we are a disgusting 37 points behind the leaders and have just completed the worse set of results in over 50 years
ReplyDeleteyeah i do still want another winger though. and 80 million were did that come from carroll was 35 suarez was 22 which means we basically got both for 7 mill as torres went for 50, in my view aint bad buisness, carroll will do a job so keep him as he is a diffrent option but we need a cisse type striker and a pacy winger aswell so hope all our budjet goes on these areas
ReplyDeleteBased on that logic, is any manager responsible for anything or does it always come down to the players? Now you see where your argument falls down?
ReplyDeleteYou can say Roy Hodgson did nothing wrong at all, his style was brilliant , the team messed it up....
One of the biggest problems this year has been our midfield. Henderson is not a right winger and is one of the main reason he hasn't performed well this season.
ReplyDeleteGerrard was missing at the start of the season and was recovering from a bad injury which is why he hasn't looked the player we all know he is.
Adam for me started the season well with a few goals and couple of assist. I don't see why people hate him so much but I agree before his injury he wasn't playing that well but for me that was down to playing alongside an unfit Gerrard. Adam is not full of energy and that is one thing he really needs to improve on, therefore resulting in a very slow and not so hard working centre midfield partnership.
Spearing as much as he has improved and I love the effort and commitment he puts in when playing, he is just not Liverpool FC standard, I won't say anymore because it would be harsh.
Downing is a good player and in a good midfield I think he would do well and with more players busting a gut to get in the box I think he would have got he assist he usually gets.
It wouldn't be fair to comment on Kuyt as he hasn't played that often and hasn't had a decent run in the team but I agree it's time to let him go as he isn't the answer to the right wing problem.
Maxi as we all know should have started on the right wing every game. He scores goals, he creates chances and has a brilliant footballing brain. KK why??? but I'd let him go in the summer as he isn't the answer to the right wing problem either. He has played in centre midfield all of his career until he came to Liverpool but that's what we do, we play players out of position ha.
Lucas has been a big miss that is fact. I was one of his biggest haters and I for one am very happy he proved me wrong because every team needs a player like him.
All the above for me is one of the main reason that we haven't picked up so many points.
Obviously it's not the only reason but it really hasn't helped.
Do you think FSG should sell Kenny's investments after 1 season at a huge loss like some of these peanuts suggest? How much will Kenny cost the club to replace with this world class savour the peanuts are crying for?
ReplyDeleteI don't think the peanuts would last to long at Standard Chartered either
Either that or Otkane has not got the first idea about football. Andy Carrol is crap and anyone who says he is good is easily pleased. I have been going to the match since 1960 and have never seen a worse player in his position in all those years. give him another season and we are doomed. !!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhy would you think he would change when he has defended his buys to the end, and played them ahead better performers in the squad for the entire season? I think you're making a very big, hopeful, rose-tinted assumption.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Got to give critisism when it is due & right now it certainly is.
ReplyDeleteThe teams position in the league shows exactly how bad they are & I keep hearing excuse after excuse for mediocre performances. Results are what matter & something is not right..i.e. players/manager.
ReplyDeleteTrue enough. Kuyt is just one of our rubbish players. There are stacks more.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever actually seen any good players? Do you know what fantastic means? Are you satisfied with absolutely anything at all? Have you ever played football? By the way, AC is a pathetic bloody joke. The joke was on us and will be until he's kicked back to geordie land.
ReplyDeleteThey need to bin this moneyball crap,should've gone to spec savers instead..
ReplyDeleteVery average is being very generous. He's slow moving and slow thinking and I wouldn't back him to score from virtually any position, even with the goalie out of his area.
ReplyDeleteDo you realise what you said? 'Everything was perfect except putting the ball in the net'. In football that is the ONLY thing that matters. Fix it with money? Sure, spend 35,000,000 on a top striker. For God's sake open your eyes.
ReplyDeleteA team that wins five home games all season is crap. Ditto a manager who wastes millions on the likes of Henderson and Carroll.
ReplyDeleteYes, Man United's colours.
ReplyDeletelets all face it kd is not the man for the job he did not buy good,spent alot of money,got rid of better players as well...aqillani played really well during the preparation games,raul mirales played well at the end of last season but he kd did not want to keep him..good coaches dont let go of their good players rednap did to mondric...look at new castle they did not spend even a half of what we spent...they can play cl...cause they went for talent not for nationality...i cant understand and will not understand why kd does not play maxi...the guy scores...creates what more do you want from him kd? dont blame luck but the manager but since he is king kenny we all should shut up and let the king do his job....we sacked rafa a man who made us a force...a team that can beat anyone any day regardless of lady luck...at the time we had no expensive player but we had expensive talent...we never missed a cl night and anyone facing liverpool was in deep fear....anfield was a football grave yard...many died the likes of madrid and many were defeated barca on their own ground...we need change,we need a tactical manager who goes out there to sign talent not nationality...kenny out...then will start dreaming of big things again but with him we are a dead team...
ReplyDeleteYes, the huge quantity of goals and defence splitting passes from Lucas will make a vast difference. Ditto his heading and dribbling skills. Oh wait a minute...he can't do any of those things, can he?
ReplyDeleteThe team is actually much worse than people think. Even Suarez is a pretty ordinary player - he just looks good because the others are so absolutely terrible.
A holding midfielder is the fashionable term for a midfielder who can't actually do anything.
ReplyDeletePredictions for next season: Liverpool will be very like this season, except maybe a tenth or eleventh finish and no league cup. The fans will still be split between those that can see no wrong whatever Liverpool do and however badly they play, and those that have seen much better things and know the present crop are utter crap. United and City will do battle for the league with Liverpool thirty points adrift. Suarez - if he stays - will be top scorer with about ten. Carroll won't reach double figures. More howlers from Reina and appalling play all round from Johnson. After thirty minutes one will realise Henderson is on the pitch ( and wish he wasn't ).
ReplyDeleteAll very predictable.
depressing reality,cups will paper over the crevices for a few weeks,but then get back to reality. if kd insists on signing british only,he needs to be ushered upstairs.
ReplyDeleteWhy are you even hear if you support United? Fyi Liverpool are the true Reds not Red and Black like you's.
ReplyDeleteNo Skirtel in your team? Liverpool's player of the season, that's a strange choice.
ReplyDeleteI was just picking purely who is the better players. Newcastle players are doing ok now, next year most likely will not be the same because now people expect it from them.. I personally wouldn't swap Lucas for Cabaye and Tiote put together because I think he's our most important player and wins the ball for fun then sets up our attacks.. If the Newcastle manager had all them players to pick from he'd definitely have Gerrard in there.
You're joking right? Lucas wins the ball in midfielder at least 15 to 20 times every match and sets up our attack to say that's unimportant is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard, the player ahead of him are the one who should be scoring. Mascherano was a world class midfielder and Lucas is even better, Newcastle midfield players have nothing on him.
ReplyDeleteYou know absolutely nothing about players and their team worth do you. Lucas is a monster.
ReplyDeleteKuyt is a great player but he was a bit selfish in yesterday's match (vs West Brom). Instead of shooting on goal from a tight angle early in the game, Kuyt should have been made a simple pass to Suarez, who was free in the middle, for an easy tap-in. That would have started the momentum and led to more goals.
ReplyDeleteI just love Welbeck (I'm not an Man U fan and I will never be). But the kid is as selfless as any supporting striker should be. Did u see his clever pass for Rooney's second goal (v Everton)? That pass was made from the same position and area of the pitch in which Kuyt was!
god that comment hurts
ReplyDeleteHmmmm......
ReplyDeleteA bit like Dunga, Deschamps or Makelele? All lucky to be professional footballers, as non of them had a 'trick' in their locker.
Prior to his injury, Lucas was lynchpin of the team. His performance against Man City was immense. He hit Yaya Toure a couple of times and he STAYED hit.
Embarrassing is an under statement it's pathetic , and getting told its down to bad luck and you can't fault the players , there's nothing drastically wrong , they prepared well is quite frankly insulting , we are 37 points behind Man Utd won 5 league games at home , it's not very reassuring to hear we are " gonna keep doing what were doing " see where it takes us
ReplyDeleteAgree , and the plan is to keep doing what were doing , horrible to think we might have to go thru it all again next year , fingers crossed for City , cos apart from the 37 points , God knows how many that will be after 38 games , without City we could be 2 title's behind them and that hurts , they used to win the odd cup every now and again and we laughed at them The league is your bread an butter is what SHANKS said , other trophy's are great , but not competing week in week out is not acceptable at all , progressing ?
ReplyDeletePUKI MAK LU. ROY IS RIGHT !
ReplyDeleteI think simply saying 'I am basing it on form this season' answers that and on form, I am, at least, not far off with that side.
ReplyDeleteTiote has been as good as Lucas since arriving but like I said, its about form this season, Lucas has none. Skrtel has been really good, especially when Agger is fit but its not as if Coloccini isn't fit to be in the same sentence as him, as his form has been also really good. But I got nothing against Skrtel being in there (in a form side), tbh and has the same valid claim to be in there as the Argentine. Forget Stevie's reputation as I am picking on form and this season, the likes of Cabaye all day long.
So I suppose we have picked these sides on different reasons, so we are bound to fundamentally disagree as its two different criteria being used by each other. So its a bit toothless for either of us to be too damning over the comparison between our sides.
Just a question, as you aren't doing it on this season's form, you think Krul is generally the better goalkeeper?
Net spend doesn't come into what I was talking about. I was talking about what the three players cost.
ReplyDeleteI said Downing, Suarez and Carroll in the same sentence and they roughly cost around £80m. That is where the £80m came from. Sorry, I didn't sugar coat it by being rose-tinted and justifying it by net spend. So its all good spending loads of money on dud players, as long as we sell enough to cover most of them(!) 'aint bad business'(!)
Its not just about keeping 'net spend' low, its also about making sure the 'expenditure is good too.
so much of rubbish to be cleared. trash all round the team. maxi,kuyt,enrique,johnson,henderson,caroll,spearing,lucas,downing.
ReplyDeletenone of this players send shivers in the premier league let alone europe.
again getting associated with average signings. get 3-4 top notch signings and then move forward. omg medioricity all over. don't even have a proper 2 choice keeper.
Aquilani is available as ac have decided not to take up the buyout clause, now LFC have their blessings restored, Aquaman is back throw away the dross and let him work his magic, Joe Cole should be back as well drop KD's flops and we may be well on our way with KD stepping down honourably! KD can't HACK IT....Rafa back YNWA
ReplyDeleteJaimie,
ReplyDeleteYou need to step up and start scoring some goals for Liverpool instead. You may have better luck than the boys. LOL. By the way, are we gonna be hitting the world records book for being the team that struck the bar the most in one season? I am curious.
KENNY STILL GOES ON ABOUT THE SIDE IS GOOD ENOUGH,BUT IF HE SAYS HE PERSONALLY WANTED DOWNING,HENDERSON,CARROL AND CHARLIE,THE LEAST HE CAN DO IS APOLOGISE TO THE FANS,THAT HE BOUGHT "DUDS"AND BUY SOME QUALITY,OR WE WILL BE THE SAME NEXT YEAR.
ReplyDeleteLucas was Liverpool's best player last year and half of this year he was brilliant, he walked all over City's "world class" midfielders and Chelsea too until he was injured so he did have form this season, enough for me to know he's miles better than Tiote imo. I do, I think Krul and Hart are the two best in England.
ReplyDeleteLucas has started 12 league games this season, that is hardly a substantial period of form. Its like Aquilani being labelled as the next messiah, based on 9 PL starts for us.
ReplyDeletehes got us playing decent footy which all u haters craved and moaned under rafa about, changing styles takes time and effort lets see were we are next season and get behind the team hopefully few tweaks here and there we should do alright.
ReplyDeleteIt is 'here' not 'hear' and the word 'you's' does not exist. I have been a Liverpool supporter since I saw my first game in November 1966. I would not support Man utd if they were playing a team of Talibans. Let me know if I can put you right on anything else.
ReplyDeleteI didn't ask for a grammar lesson. I said " Look to the future is bright and red" your reply was "yes Man United's colours" No Liverpool fan would ever say that, so on your bike.
ReplyDeleteGet rid of 9 players and get in 3 or 4 .. great plan stan...
ReplyDeleteBet your ripping it up in the ol fantasy football mate lol
One of the many reasons we do so badly is that our supporters tolerate rubbish. You can see that on this site. A team has won five home games all season ( five! ) but so many supporters - living in their delusional fantasy land - bend over backwards to find excuses for KD, for the players, for Henderson ( don't count him as a player ). I suppose there is a huge difference between people like me - who have seen brilliant players like Keegan, Barnes, Hunt, St John, Hughes, Smith etc etc etc - and the younger set who have seen the likes of N'gog in action. The younger brigade simple have no idea what they are talking about in many cases. Anfield would be a much better place in the long run if dreadful players such as Carroll got the bird good and loud. Then KD would have to stop putting them in the team. But the sad fact is that if the club stay in mid-table the fans are happy. They accept mediocrity and so that is what they get. Then they tell you you're not a real supporter because you don't cheer your head off for people like Lucas Leiva, whose only claim to fame is that he has been injured all season and missed out on the worst nine months since the side were relagated in the fifties. What a bunch of jokers!
ReplyDeleteDecent footy ? When ? Pass and move , get shut and watch is more like it and hope Stevie or Luis can finish , our tactics seem to be cross your fingers and hope for the best , bastion of invincibility , fortress anfield seem a long time ago 2 home games left looking forward to them like toothache and there's no indication next season will be any different , cos the manager seems to think its just down to bad luck and we can't ask any more of the players as wacko jacko once said " makes you wanna scream " gonna need Lorra Lorra luck to gain another 40 plus points , if all the efforts which hit the wood work had of been one inch the other way they would've been efforts that missed the target just as easy as goals , so let's face the facts , not just accept it week in week out and say we couldn't ask any more of the players if that's the best you can do then " do one " it's not good enough
ReplyDeletefellow liverpudians,lets give kenny another year to bring us back to our former greatness.if kenny goes now,we might end up with someone worse .lets be patient,and i'm sure next season is gonna be our year
ReplyDeletewith lucas back,and a couple of new signings,were on our way
