Taylor Swift Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 No way, man. Jose's the best defensive LB in the league. Only A Cole comes close and he doesn't possess Jose's strength. Overall, Jose's probably behind him and maybe Evra, although Evra hasn't been as good as he was two seasons ago. I like Baines also; he's better than Jose going forward, but not as good defensively. Actually, from the little I've seen of Kolarov, he's as good as Jose (overall; he's not as good defensively but makes up for it with his attacking play).

midds Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Not bad. it's crap if you compare it with his previous spell at Liverpool and Newcastle where he took over successful teams and guided them slowly downwards after starting well with teams other managers had built. Dalglish's Liverpool were a fantastic team. In fact a lot of Liverpool supporters claim he gave them their greatest ever team. That was with the players he bought as well. They were quality but it does help when you inherit one of the best squads in Europe from Fagan (and Paisley). It's a nice foundation to build on.

He did build his own side though...the side he assembled for the 87-88 season was probably the best club side I've seen.Superb to watch too.Though I suppose it was easy to go after the likes of Pedro and Barnes.

ponsaelius Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 The basis of any successful side is a strong defence, and I don't think Dalglish has got that. He doesn't even seem to be trying to address it, on the basis of the transfer rumours. Surely he's waiting for the likes of Sol Campbell to be available on a free in the summer? Maybe he'll bring back Sami Hyypia while he's at it... Rafa sold Hyypia a good 2 years too early. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got to keep it going but taking over a squad like that with so many good players already at the club makes it much easier. It's too easy to keep most of the squad there and add (obvious) good players to it. It's not a miracle he's performed. He's used his common sense and eyes. It doesn't deserve that much praise tbh.

Everyone wanted him to stay, but he quite rightly thought he had a few more seasons of regular games in him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 It's when he started buying players like David Burrows and Glenn Hysen that his team started to fail and people started to question his judgment...even more so when he signed David Speedie a week or two before he resigned.

Yes and no. You can't really credit him with visionary signings, but managers taking over already excellent sides are judged by different criteria than those taking over mediocre teams. Indeed, they require rather different skills. I'd equate Kenny's first managerial spell with that of Guardiola's current reign at Barcelona. Both took already great sides to even greater heights, and while they can never claim to have built that side, they stand apart from the litany of managers who have taken such sides and ruined them.
