Not many wingers will give us double figure assists and goals and put in a defensive shift.

Has Kuyt give double figures assists, always seen his final ball as not rather good. Still think he should be seen as a striker

I'd argue the oppodsite

For no other reason than the fact he's the fiunestr player to have ever worn the Red shoirt, Kenny is almodt immune from any kind of criticism

It has to be said there's not much to critocise as up until the last 2 games he'd turned trhe club round in quite an extraordinary fashion from taking up the reigns in mid-January after 5-5 of the modt miserable months I can ever remember

Had Rafa or Ged signed Henderson for £20m, they'd be slaughtered. Hsad it been Hodgson it would probably have been killed. Yet becaise it's Kenny (although i think its Comoli) evereyone is saying what a brilliant signing - despite having seen Henderson play pretty woefully for most of last season

Look at the Newcastle in 2008-09 for example. They had about 12 games to save themselves from relegation, the fans cried out for their messiah Alan Shereaer, the club appointed him and he virtually ensured they got relegated.

Now I'm not tryig to suggest that Shearer is on a par with Kenny when it comes to management BUT it shows the folly about making decisions based on one's heart rather than head and sitting back and saying oh well 'Kenny knows best' - even though we should all be massively concerned at paying £20m for Henderson - might not be the best approach

"Top 4 and a cup final" was me, so clearly the OP is having a go at me, which I find surprising given that I'm optimistic about our chances of doing well next season. However I am also realistic enough to understand that one doesn't make 10-14 changes to a squad and get instant success. Football doesn't work that way. Okay, maybe it worked for Blackburn when Kenny was there, but it's not like they has sustained success, which is what FSG and every supporter of this football club wants. We don't want a contested perch; we want the whole thing because we are Liverpool.

Your funny keep it up,I'm in stitches.

Where did it say we paid 20 mil? Plus it's strange how you make out that he's terrible. Kenny and Pearce rate him. Plus from what I saw last season, he has the goods.

Kenny won with Blackburn, so he knows a little bit. Wait till mid June before making negative calls.

Jim Tonez officially gets the 'Eeyore' award for the season. Sorry Emp he has raised the bar for negative defeatist posting.. I personally think we should just sell all of our players and stop watching football what is the point of it we're all going to die anyway (hurls self out window)

I didn't say terrible but untested and IMO you don't pay £20m (not even in today's market) on a player whose untested

No one had ever even heard of him until last season when after a half of dozen or so pretty decent performances he got an England call up, flopped, then spent the rest of the season chasing shadows as his team slid down the table

That sounds like a player whose worth somewhere between £5-8m - not £20m - and after stumping up £36m for Carroll - we, not to put too fine a point on it, must look like a bunch of the biggest mugs in the league - some alcholode given the competition from Man City and chelsea



Fair enough - but as I said before, the first signs couldn't be more distressing

Not really sure what Henderson you are watching but according to opta he created 5th most chances in the league. More than any Liverpool player. Also if Kenny rates him then he must be doing something right?

Just trying to be realistic mate - than all these other posts which assume kenny just has to click his fingers and we'll win the league

Hand on heart - do you honestly think Andy Carrol and Henderson are worth £56m because if you do - away for this site of course - you'd be in a minority of 1

I'd happily settle for a top 4 finish (without a cup final) and at the end of the season (even having lost those last 2 games) I thought we had a bloody good chance of dping so in 2011-12

But was before all the half-decent players we've been linked with have rejected us - and we ended up shelling out £20m for an untested player
