I think the current manager has been found out now similar to the way Hodgson was last season, simply not good enough and hoplessly out of his depth. I dont know the best way to get our point over to John Henry that this is'nt good enough and we need a change, maybe a protest of some sort after our next home game against Everton, having said that if we were to beat them which in all fairness we could, then the fans would be happy and think everything is now alright, bit of a catch 22 situation.

- Kenny's tenure's not as bad as Roy's was. I think to say it's that bad is taking ot too far

- I'm stunned if anyone's stunned by y'days result despite all the stats in our favour. It's been happening all season, including the Carling Cup final. We batter teams in terms of corners and shots BUT we fail to hit the target enough times.

dude around 70-80 min mark the team`s attack wasa cliking and every one were performng very well...so kenny didnt want to disturb that harmony by making those subs..

but when persie scored we needed to go all out and so he made those subs..!

and we talk as if we had some world class players on the bench..!

Totally agree waz. The team was playing very well that Kenny did not need to change anything, we just needed a bit of luck with those shots but unfortunately it did not go our way today.

Agree that we played very well. It was entertaining... very good to watch

But I don't think we can put our failure to score primarily down to a lack of luck. It's been happening all season... which says to me that that's our level. i.e. we have a technical defficiency whereby we can't put the ball in the net - and we knew before the Jan transfer window came and went.

I read this morning that Van Persie has scored more goals this season than we have as a team.

luck is not to blame, if it is just a few games then yes, but this has been going from the start of the season.

the plain simple reson of our impotent atack are:

- the movement in the final 3rd, it is predictable, slow and out of sync, this falls squarely on the manger. even Benitez's defensive side made good penetrations and gave players good chances facing the goal.

- lack of variety, constantly forcing the ball through the wings, when was the last time we combined a move through the middle or made a through pass, or a good soft lobe like VanPersie's 2nd goal.

- style doesn't fit the players, they cant do "pass and move", we need players that can run with the ball, retain the ball in traffic, can pass and receive a ball without bouncing it. for this we need AT LEAST 3 new 20m players. ether this or get O'Neil and play direct.

now is a time of serious reflection, everyone fells things are wrong and no sings of the going right, so lets be specific technically.

Are you saying Suarez and Kuyt actually aimed for the post instead of the net?

No! No! No!... please, I beg everyone, No!. That's the kind of knee jerk reaction I hope we don't resort to. I would rather have Dalglish and hope he and the management team find the solutions to our problems.

I dont know why people keep harping back to when Dalglish won the Leagues all those years ago, it's totaly different now, the man has been left behind, he's a dinosaur, a relic and his signings, substitutions and tactics belong back in the 80's.

You might be right, but there are ways to be critical. We should respect the owners decision to appoint Dalglish and be supportive to the management team. That doesn't mean we can't be critical, but we need to be constructive.

Vitriolic abuse like calling Dalglish a dinosaur is disrespectful, unecessary and very divisive. That's not going to help the club. It will ruin it in the end even if you get your choice of man.

Byt the way, you haven't said who you would appoint instead?
