Exactly! It baffles me how there hasn't been more uproar about our league form, it's an absolute disgrace! Any other manager would have been hammered from pillar to post for this season's performance!
any other manager would have been sacked by maybe november.
And why would you say that? On 29 November Liverpool had 23 points and was in 6th ahead of Arsenal on goal difference (having drawn with log leaders Man City in our previous league game), and 3 back of Newcastle in 4th (who we had yet to play). We were still in the Carling Cup having just beaten Chelsea at Stamford Bridge (for the second time in a week). Hard to sack a manager at that point.
Things only turned bad for Liverpool after beating Newcastle in the last fixture of the calendar year (where have I heard that before - oh yes, 08/09), and we couldn't win much of anything other than cup games until recently. Kenny should either have gone after the Arsenal game (if 4th was THAT critical, given that we'd lifted a cup the week before and were still in the FA Cup), or after Newcastle when the team looked totally out of control - Carroll's antics, Reina's red card and more. Since FSG took neither opportunity, sacking Commolli instead, there really isn't any point in people continuing to chant "Kenny out".
