KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum My view for what it's worth

I think Kenny is a good manager, I feel the run in the cups has proved that.

The league situation isn't good, no-where near good enough, but we are dominating games, hitting the bar countless times and generally playing good football.

I think this has exposed some weakness in the team, which will be addressed in the summer. mostly a proven finisher, and some quality on the wings. I honestly don't think another manager could have done much better, it can't possibly be Kenny's fault we hit the bar 4-5 times a game.

Tactics are working, because we are creating chances, looking tight at the back(when carra isn't playing)

Reina has let in a lot of goals he should have saved this season, this has been recognised by the owners and they have mad changes for to the coach.


As a liverpool fan this season, I have had some brilliant times, being at Anfield when we knocked United out the cup, beating chelsea, city- Winning the carling up. With a FA cup to look forward to, in previous years it has been CONSTANT RIPPING MY HAIR OUT. I don't think things are "fine" or "perfect" nor am I a "kenny lover" Given the circumstances I think he deserves another season, and most of all deserves our support

It always comes back to the signings. Kenny was given that astronomical £116m to give the team a step change meaning top 4 minimum. Cups mean nothing they are luck and next season we could be out of the FA cup in the third round and be in 8th place in the league. We have not qualified for the europa for the last two seasons by our league placing that is shocking. We are hitting the bar because the player has not struck the ball correct. In one game you can put it down to bad luck but not over a season. There is no way with that set up and players we will get anywhere near 4th next season. No way.

I know your bitter Stan but to say cups mean nothing is so off the mark.

the money that we spent deserves to put us better than where we are BUT we also sold a lot of players the two years leading up to this season ... quality players too!

Cups isn't all luck, not at all. Not like we have had an easy run either is it? knocking city and united out?

Would you at least agree as a fan, you have had loads more to celebrate than in previous seasons?

Kenny has always said he just wants to coach the squad, not be involved in transfers. I know recently he contradicted this, but knowing Kennys way of dealing with things, he was more than likely protecting his players like he always does.

I don't think it's luck, I think it's exposed a severe lack of players who can finish well. I think that will be addressed in the summer, then we have a good team..

Cups are not entirely luck no but you do need an element of luck they are one off games. Bu certainly they are not a barometer of success. Particularly when the cups are at the expense of our league form. I would swap 4th place for the Carling Cup all day long. If say we were 5th and just missed out on 4th I could accept it but this season has been a total disaster and anyone trying to put a gloss on it to protect the king is fooling no one but themselves.

do you think your Anti-Kenny agenda is making you think that anyone who finds a positive in our team is pro Kenny? Recognize has not written a glowing endorsement of Kenny but has said that the season as a whole has been ok (league aside). You read it as pro kenny

I's certainly not putting a gloss on it, I am for the most part agreeing with you.

I just think the prem has exposed weakness, which isn't solely down to the manager. I think your foolish to think the return to the top 4 would be achieved in one season, taking into consideration how bad our team was, and how much the teams around us have improved.

Ok fair enough but I pointed out the signings were an issue which recognize ommitted

Thats a comment made with hindsight not many on here were predicting 8th place or saying I would be happy for 8th this season. Now were they ? truth is we have lowered our expectations big time

Not even in the slightest, I haven't said this is good enough? I feel at times Stan your disagreeing for the sake of it, without reading what I am saying!!
