KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum FSG asking questions of Dalglish

Maxi deserves to play, he scores goals which hardly anyone else in the team does, if he comes in and does well then he deserves to stay in the team regardless of how big a reputation the person he is keeping out has.

I saw it mentioned on tv yesterday as well. Can't find a source I'd consider reputable for it though so do know how much stock to place in it.

Totally totally agree KP, I don't think he has enough variety in his locker to play game in game out against the bigger sides (having said that his intelligence and quick one twos could prove an asset), but I think he has a lot to offer against the smaller sides where defenders would easily lose track of his well timed 'ghosting' runs.

Dangerous dangerous precedent to set, questioning line ups etc, especially when the owners are self processed football novices. I don't see that as a show of confidence. But like I said, not sure how much stock to hold in the talk.

It depends on how the question was worded. FSG may have looked at Maxi's goal record and simply enquired as to why he doesn't play more often. It doesn't necessarily mean they were interfering or demanding that he does play. Kenny may simply have replied saying, maxi's not fit/got an attitude problem/contributes very little else, or whatever his reason for leaving him out is. And I'd have thought FSG will have been satisfied with his response.
Sounds like a non-starter of a story to me.

"Kenny" should be starting ahead of Henderson!!

if we don't get an elaboration i will just assume from "sinister" that Commoli got kick-backs to inflate the transfer deals

If the players you seldom play are scoring more goals than the players you play regularly, then the club owner has every reason to ask why. Maxi has 6 goals this season (all competitions), and only Suarez, Bellamy, Gerrard, Carroll, and Own Goal have scored more. Not Downing, Henderson, or Adam who have the same number between them in all competitions.

Maxi left and Bellamy right has been the obvious combination all season, yet instead we have Henderson and Downing starting every game. Were I John Henry I'd like to know why. (I'm not John Henry, and I'd still like to know why). I'd also like to know why we haven't settled on a first XI.

Good point that. Worked with most of the players for over a year now, and still can't decide an 11...not great.

This where Whiskey nose has succeded, he stick to the same team more or less week in week out. Remember when Rafa did this, week in week out he would p!ss around withe team. Players stopped playing well for fear of getting dropped the following week!!

It does look more and more like Dalglish is gone regardless of the cups. No matter which way you look at it, we have failed because of his choice of purchases. The fact that they made comolli the scapegoat and got rid of him first shows that primarily they are most concerned about financial wastage. Come the summer, they will use the fact that our dire league campaign has cost them £20-£30m+ due to not qualifying for the CL - Dalglish will be gone because regardless of how much comolli paid, the players WERE ken's choices after all........then and only then will there be a golden sky.

it's the managers judgement on these players rather than the cost which caused me more concern even tho the cost did not help, how any manager can think some of them are good enough to wear the shirt in my opinion is incompetent.
