good post although my eyes now hurt...
i believe that in 3 years we will defiantly be top four and contending for the title. This season, however, i am expecting and would be satisfied with top five finish and a cup, most likely the carling cup.

Magic in a kids world!! You're somewhat right. We are good. But only in cup competition with that defensive play. We must voluntarily take ourselves out of league. We'll never prosper in a league game though

so far under Kenny's full season of games and compare against Rafas last season and Hodgsons 20games we can see where we are heading statistically at least;

KD -67points(1.76 per game)
Roy - *47.5(1.25 per game) *based on 38game average
Rafa 2009/10 - 64points (1.68 per game)

basically Kenny's team has performed far better over 38games than Rafa did in his last 38games. Rafa had Torres, Mascher and a fit Gerrard - 3top players.

No doubt we need to improve but we are heading in the right direction. Its the team thats improving not necessarily individuals, the training ground is certainly baring fruit. The next level is for the team to be more fluent in attack and get those vital goals.

The team has to now up it's game and average 2points a game.definity possible with the return of Gerrard and Luis in two weeks.

i am quite hopeful for the rest of the season, but I am not expecting miracles.

cp1972 the comparison is not one I would like to see as the benchmark for LFC not if we are to be successful. Rafa's last 38 games were when he was on the way out and Hodgson's was one of the worst periods ever. I would prefer 2005 / 6 Rafa's reign as a benchmark or Houllier 2000 to 2003. How are we doing compared to that? Are we moving forwards or sideways ?

Stanley, you can only fairly compare Dalglish against what immediately preceded him at the moment, he had to work with what he inherited. We can compare him with Houllier or Benitez after two or three years when he's been in the job for two or three years.

Not neccessarily. Kenny's job has been made much easier than Roy's/Rafa's as he doesn't have to work with those 2 american goons. And expectation/pressure was lower on Kenny as he took over a team in the bottom half of the table so anything he did would look impressive in the short term, Also, Kenny has been given a lot of money so you could argue that those 3 factors level the playing field somewhat.

....or if really want to highlight the gulf in class between Dalglish & Benitez, look at their first year in charge:

Dalglish - inherited a decent squad, and finished 6th in the league (then spent £100m+ to weaken it!)
Benitez - inherited a very poor squad and won the champions league!!

So,Kenny should have won the champions league the season he took over,even though the club hadn't qualified.

Some achievement that would be.

No disrespect intended but we hear this sh*t everytimne we dtop ots, which nowadays is every other game

I'm sick of hearing the magic will come as it's quite clear to me that under this average and overpriced bunch of flops the magic's never going to come

it was said after iur sklip up yto Sunderland, repeated after our debacle against Stoke, Tottenham, Norwich, Swansea, Blackburn, Wigan and now Stoke

Doesn't that tell you something?

You think the squad Kenny inherited was decent?! How f*cking short is your memory??
