Roids Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Remember that French guy we signed on a free, who they dodged, and then got injured straight away. Still got more assists than Downing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 We wouldn't have finished 2nd under Keegan, fwiw. And anyone suggesting we'd have finished top needs their head flushing down the bog. Daglish deserves a fair bit of credit for the 2nd place and the cup final a year later. Complete rubbish. It was only a late run at the end of the season that got us into 2nd and in Keegan's last 2 league games we had just beaten Spurs 7-1 and Leeds 3-0. Again, relevance? There is none.

TheGuv Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Relevance is if Dalglish was responsible for us finishing 2nd. He made us drop 11 places the following season... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Irrelevant then. Nobody claimed Daglish made a good fist of it in his full season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGuv Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 He did very well tbf. However from what I hear, Ginola was treated appalingly by Daglish. Basically forced him out the club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Relevance is if Dalglish was responsible for us finishing 2nd. He made us drop 11 places the following season... He was partly responsible for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Dalglish couldn't bear the thought of building a successful team with Keegan's players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Dalglish couldn't bear the thought of building a successful team with Keegan's players. Possibly, although it does seem like the Ferdinand sale was perhaps forced on him. Still annoys me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGuv Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Which is what's frustrating. He only needed to tweak the side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Dalglish couldn't bear the thought of building a successful team with Keegan's players. Did he get the chance, though? Ferdinand was sold, Shearer was injured, Ginola wanted to be in London, Beardsley was done, and Rob Lee was probably past his best too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wacko Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Btw, this day in 1997, Dalglish was confirmed as our manager. Destroyed one of our greatest ever teams. The only positive thing i can think of regarding Dalglish is that he bought Given.... Thats it. And Solano and Speed. but yeah that is it. Didi Hamman as well DIDI FUCKING HAMMAN!!!

madras Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Dalglish couldn't bear the thought of building a successful team with Keegan's players. Did he get the chance, though? Ferdinand was sold, Shearer was injured, Ginola wanted to be in London, Beardsley was done, and Rob Lee was probably past his best too. albert and howey were startting to show the injuries that would realsitically ruin theur careers, asprilla picked up a long term injury. imo the reason keegan left in the first place was that he saw a massive overhaul was needed and also saw that the money wasn't there to do it and that was the position dalglish took over.

Parky Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 This is gonna be interesting. At what point will he lose the Kop? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wacko Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 This is gonna be interesting. At what point will he lose the Kop? He's a very, very long way from that. He's King Kenny. A lot of the criticism is placed elsewhere (Comolli and the board cop the stick for the silly prices paid, which is kind of fair, seeing as it likely was their doing), and Kenny only really gets criticised for getting his tactics and selection wrong in individual matches. That said, I get the impression that anyone calling for Kenny to be replaced on RAWK would incur the ban hammer, so it's hard to gauge the actual level of support.

A manager who pursues young British players from rivals/clubs within the same division (ought to) know he will be racking up a hefty transfer receipt.

Beren Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Rightly or wrongly, I do think winning the Carling Cup will go a long way to placating media and Kopites alike over Dalglish's underwhelming return on his investments so far. Ending a six year trophy drought, non? Not to be scoffed at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wacko Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Would be lovely to win, but Kopites don't need any placating. It's King Kenny. He just isn't getting much in the way of stick from our own fans, and you know what LFC fans think of the media … Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Yup. Whatever he does, he'll still be a legend at the club, so he has a lot of rope. But, I do think that if Liverpool don't qualify for the CL this year and don't start next year well, he may well resign. I don't think the owners would ever dare sack him.

Turnbull2000 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 More gems from the victimised scouse mongs... Quite depressing really, isn't it? If it weren't for Demba Ba and Robin van Persie, Arsenal and Newcastle would be in the bottom half of the table. One of those players in our team this season and we'd probably be sitting in at least second. If we'd won against Sunderland, Swansea, Norwich, Blackburn, Stoke, we'd be fourth, 5 points in front of Chelsea, 1 behind Spurs and 3 away from the top of the table.
