that same squad almost won the premiership mate.
heggy we both know it's not where you start it's where you finish and Benitez left us with rubbish, that much rubbish that Hodgson had an impossible job to turn it around before he started and the same rubbish Dalglish felt he had to spend over 100 million pound to somehow rectify Benitez gross incompetence with Club funds after that Dalglish was even more incpompetent with Club funds. These things need to be taken into consideration before people start putting pressure on Rogers to get us back into the top 6 never mind the madness of top four which will probably never happen anyway.
I know I shouldn't feed the troll, but....
09/10 - Sold: Alonso, Arbeloa, Dossena, Hyypia
Bought: Johnson, Aquilani, Maxi, Krygiakos
Hyypia was at the stage Carra is now, so his retirement from LFC can't be blamed on Benitez. Dossena was cr*p. Arbeloa wanted to go back to Spain. Alonso - was a foolish mistake on the part of both parties if you believe Alonso really is a Red.
Johnson is regularly regarded as a decent player, Maxi's goals have held us together at times, Krygiakos was excellent against the physical EPL sides, and Aquilani has a decent following among LFC fans despite being reglarly loaned in order to avoid paying for him despite being our best player pre-season a year ago.
According to the trolls, this small turnover of players transformed the best Liverpool side in the last twenty years to the worst. Nah, I don't buy that, and neither should you. There was nothing "impossible" about the tasks given Hodgson and Dalglish - they simply botched them as much as Benitez botched his final season.
