BladeGunner's gone?

He was a twat anyway.

Tbf, no one could of foretold downing being this shit

I predicted him being a disaster. But not being so much of a disaster that if we had got him on a free he would still be a disaster.

It did make me laugh that there was a poll on the worst signing and Adam who cost 5m won by a massive set of votes compared to Carroll and Downing who cost 35m and 20m

Fuck man. He started good, like remember Sunderland? He was doing everything right,

I'm sure he will do good if he leaves us.

Brb scores on his next debut.

Adam was £11 million no?

Hit the bar after a great run on his debut, dared to hope that my trepidation would prove false.

Thought it was 7.

Adam was 6?

Again a confusing signing. Was good and bad

I just used Wikipedia, tbf I think he's been a better signing than both those

Even Jamie thought he was going to be good after that performance.

Just very low morale.

Plus Carroll's goal against City. I was over the moon.

There is quality but it is deep down somewhere.

Either it's a curse or Kenny isnt utilizing the players right

Well fuck the assumption that Kenny is a great man-manager.

Great time for a steady a ship joke but seriously



What to do in the summer?

Jovanovic says that he has advised Matias Suarez not to go to Liverpool; saying the Argentine should go to Italy, preferably Juventus.

Cunt.

And Kenny. Keep him. Give him another year.

You know, it's sad, but the players Kenny bought. There's one man who would have done wonders with them, and you sort of sacked him

Anyway. Considering Liverpools current form and the decline in quality since the departure of Rafael Benitez, is there really any chance that Kenneth Dalglish will remain manager next season? I certainly would think that the owners would find themselves worried to see Liverpool drifting around 8th, which is, let's be honest here, at least 4 spots further down than a club like Liverpool should be aiming for.

Who did we sack dude?

Sammy?

Massive cunt. I don't want him though, it will get confusing, although after checking his stats on wikipedia I wouldn't mind him really.

Anyway, the problem with Adam is that Kenny is using him wrong. Unfortunately he hasn't realised just how bad Adam is defensively and persists to play him in a defensive role. The fact is that we don't have a midfielder who can play alongside Spearing/Lucas and can distribute the ball. I hope we address that in the summer but I'm guessing we won't.

I'll die a little if Kenny gets another year.

I know it's been said plenty of times, but I just don't understand how we can go from being fucking amazing at the end of last season to fucking shit after investing so much into the squad who were scoring for fun and looking excellent already.

Kenny/Comolli really fucked us over last summer.

Inevitably we're all going to be looking at the summer as the time to reverse our fortunes. Got a bad feeling nothing will really change.

Roy Hodgson.

OK hear me out, give me a chance to explain and don't freak out or anything.

What you've bought are players who fit into a very direct form of play. You've got Charlie Adam, who passes the ball long and has good precision on his set pieces. Then you've got Downing, a player that was utilized for Villa in a very direct style of play, he would push up to the side of the attackers and then pass it square back or cross it in to an oncoming attacker. Then there's Andy Carroll. His ability on the ground may be underestimated, but there's little denying that when he was at his best for Newcastle they played a very direct game, he was also at the time considered a lethal aerial threat.

Luis Suarez adds a little speed and technique to the side, which gives you the opportunity to have a man run behind the defence, Bellamy pretty much does the same.

Roy Hodgson's sides tend to play a very direct game, which does incorporate set pieces as an important part of their strategy, they like to push the wings up further than the striker, and they like to have that playmaking midfielder who can hit the ball long to the wings to begin counter attacks. What Dalglish has bought is essentially the sort of team Hodgson had at Fulham.

Not saying that Hodgson would have done the same, or even been a great manager for you, but I find the "style" he's bought quite humorous. Sad, but humorous.

The Carroll transfer fucked us.

We sorta had no choice but to buy players to try to get the best out of a £35 million player.

he's right you know.

I hate how we built our squad around one player, who let's be honest, isn't exactly proven. We should have replaced Torres with a player who had a similar style of play. It worked before.
