Why did Kenny Dalglish break the 2nd place team up? I always wanted to know that...were there any books/bios etc that explained as such?

 

It's been talked about a few times on here. The team was near its end, Beardsley was done, Ferdinand was injured a fair bit iirc, but the ridiculous thing that he did was change it for even older players and in some cases got rid of the younger players (got rid of Elliott instead of Beresford)

 

I'm not getting into it again, but he got rid of Ginola, which was a mistake, but generally he brought in daft players when at that point we were a team trying to win the league. John Barnes, Ian Rush and Stuart Pearce ffs. Just utter stupidity.

What's it called when a player lays a penalty off for another player to score?

 

And I don't mean retarded, I mean is there a proper name for it.

 

I thought there was - it's a brazilian-y name like a flaffeffa or something with 'f's and 'v's that isn't flavela.

Sorry for asking again, just reading a Keegan Bio and began to think about post Keegan and Kenny coming in. The Ferdinand sale happened literally the day after Shearer got hurt, right? Just think the Ginola sale was daft as fuck given he was LW balance to Gillespie's RW, right?

Nah, it just always takes loads of effort to remember everything from that time. :lol:

 

Ginola was out of form tbf and he was either 29 or 30 at the time, but he had a brilliant season after he left us. It was a team that needed to be tweaked, not overhauled is the thing I think we would all mainly agree upon.

True, won like Player of the Year following leaving us and at least putting up 30 some-odd appearances for the next 3 years.

He would never have had such a season under Dalglish though. The two clearly didn't really get along sportingly and Ginola was out of favour as well as being out of form.

Elliott - Pistone

Ginola - Glass

Clark - Tomasson

Asprilla - Andersson

Beardsley - Barnes

Ferdinand - Rush

 

:lol: :anguish:

 

Couldn't we have kept everyone and just signed Speed and Given?

 

Woodman and Carver were given roles in the coaching staff that season, incidentally. :laugh:
