Poor Rogers

Not to me. It's Brendan Rodgers who did not play them and we lost, so not sure if it was a good idea to leave them on the bench. I agree that we paid too much for Andy C, but what was the other option when Torres left 20 mins before that the transfer window shut. I understood that we tried Llorente who did not want to come and with the policy of buying young players with sell on value who was the striker we could get then? May be Sturridge who just started to play in Chelsea's first team. We could have left it and buy in the next window, but what would we have said with Torres gone and nobody bought to replace him? I watch almost all LFC games of any season (Premiership, FA Cup, League cup, friendlies very often, you name it)and one of the players who impressed me the most was Caroll when we got beat 3-1 at Newcastle with him scoring the 3rd goal from 15-20 yards outside the box. Also, he was the best England player when he was selected by Capello to play against France, remember? Agree he has shown only glimpses of this last year, but, he was injured for a long time and had to adjust. How good was 50m Torres last year? Who has scored the most in our games so far (including friendlies)? Talking about Henderson, he is in the England squad for god's sake, he cannot be that bad.

i reserve my judgement on henderson.but really want us to spend on non english players...sick of the *proven in PL* Crap and all.

I agree with you muj but I still think Johnson can improve us drastically on the right even tho he is English. Last english signing ok?

errr no :P

what about this zorro lad...its in gossip today...finally my super hero theory being implemented...lmao

The other option? Wait for value. There is no sell on value on a 35 million pound limited player so we weren't adhering to rule you suggest.

Carroll was not England's best player against France. Of course that is subjective so you are entitled to think differently, but I massive massively disagree with you.

Including friendlies? Doesn't really mean much does it as once upon a time voronin lit up friendlies. Also half our players weren't here for the friendlies.

Your point about henderson to me is just ludicrous. It isn't based on anything. So what he is in the England squad? And? How about you base an opinion on what you think of his performances rather than a nothing point. If you still think he has something that that's fair enough at least it will based on something more than "he's in the england squad"

Agree especially the 2nd half of the season. A season which started with 2 of our best mid-fielders getting long term injuries (SG, LL) and our best player (LS) getting a long ban midway. We could not buy a striker which we badly needed in Jan following Suarez's ban and Everton bought Jelavic and we know the result. Pepe also had a bad season according to me and Agger as usual was often injured with Carra getting old. Despite all that we hit the post some 30 times, reached 2 cup finals beating the 2 best teams in the premiership (not on penalties), won one of the finals. We were still in the race for top 4 until the Arsenal home game, a match we should have comfortably won but got beat by a super RVP, remember? According to me, after this game that players gave up the league as they undestood that 4th place would be impossible and it would be easier to qualify for Europe through winning one of the cups, which we did. Where were we when Kenny took over from Roy and where did we finish? Who on this site said that Kenny was not the right choice when he was appointed last summer after his 6 months temporary spell. Tom Werner said that results were not good enough, so be it, but why replacing Dalglish with somebody who does not have a proven track record of being better than Dalglish? Cannot understand this until I see better results and play, which I have not seen so far. We have owners that have taken a gamble I am convinced, I say that it's their money, they have the right, I'll just wait and see as I do not understand, may be I do nt have all the FACTS. I sincerely hope that they were right, we'll see.

ever heard of bullets and highlights mate?

I entirely agree his transfers were beyond belief he wasted the biggest transfer budget in Liverpool's history other than Enrique almost all will be moved on in a huge loss within 12 months. The net spend argument is particularly silly as is Dalglish's own argument that Carroll price was -£15m. That comment alone probably got him the sack. As any businessman knows you don't waste money even if it is a windfall you invest wisely. To be honest I don't even think Dalglish is a manager it was madness to appoint him. How many other clubs are clamouring for his services today?
