KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Mourinho staying at Madrid, so who does that leave

have always been a kenny supporter but even I am worried now. Think this grant thing must be a joke and AVB is definitely not the answer. He has showed how inept he's been at chelsea and when analyse what he's actually done its hard to find anything other than keep a team that always wins the portugese league win the portugese league once more. Think he's a popular choice by association of mourhino. So who else is there???

I think you are very wrong. The majority of supporters want the club to finish as high in the league as possible, regardless of who the manager is.

I know the league position does reflect more on how a team is progressing and that is fact

Cup runs are good and enjoyable but they are one off matches where anything can happen

Have you any evidence of that? If you go to Anfield the fans chant Dalglish but thats more of a histotic chant they chanted even when he was not manager. If Dalglish is still manager next season and this hodgson like performance carries on into next season then (in my view) things are going to get very nasty at Anfield. The owners now need to think very carefully what they do next.

I think they have to tread lightly and with a massive amount of respect

Maybe move kenny upstairs

I understand your point Kent and its a good one. I think the best option for it to be presented as a job well done by Kenny and thank you are stabalising the club for the next phase. But Kenny then needs to retire we cannot have the fans calling from him when the new manasger has a bad set of results as was the case for Hodgson. No decent manasger would come here under those circumstances.

I think we can say job well done and you have got the club together again after the cowboys almost destroyed us

But lets be realistic we need to move on and build for the future and get a young manager who wants to make a name, because anyone who gets Liverpool winning the league again will be a legend

Spot on. Lets make a new legend rather than cling to the old.

Agreed. Kenny has done enough to deserve to be treated with the utmost respect. Not just for his legendary status at the club over the decades, but for what he's done since he's come back in as manager alone.

We were in turmoil, he came in and "steadied the ship", won some silverware this season, but the league form has been diabolical. You can get on with certain players having a barren spell in front of goal, but out of our whole squad the only one who's done well goal-wise is Martin Skrtel.

6 Suarez
6 Bellamy
3 Carroll
2 Gerrard
2 Adam
2 Maxi
1 Kuyt
1 Henderson
0 Downing

These are the players we look towards for goals. We'd be looking for at LEAST 5 of them to be getting into double figures over the course of a PL season. Yet with 11 games to go, not one of them is there. I'd say - and I don't think this is asking too much - that it'd be fair to expect around 80-90 goals between those 9 attacking players in a PL season. 23 goals. 23 measly goals between our 9 attacking players. Just to put that into perspective, Robin van Persie has got 25 PL goals this season.

That is embarrassing.

I don't know why every one of our attacking players finds it impossible to put the ball in the back of the net. I don't know if it's down to confidence, bad coaching, or what it is. What I do know is that it's past the point of blaming it on just the woodwork, missed penalties and bad luck etc.

The bottom line is, League Cup in the bag, and FA Cup or not - in the league it just isn't working. Kenny should be given a pat on the back and given the opportunity to hold his hands up and walk out with dignity in the summer. In the meantime, the club should be already actively seeking a replacement.

I agree with you Bari a very sensible and measured post.
