Kenny Dalglish Won't Be Delivering the Module: English Premiership 2011-12

I was going to post an excerpt from the Wiki page on "2011-12 Liverpool FC season", specifically the May entry, where a single sentence is devoted to each of the three defeats this month (17 words on the Cup final) but we get 181 words on the league win vs Chelsea. Aw, bless. Breathless, semi-literate, fan-maintained Wiki pages, you gotta love 'em.

But I didn't because it would seem like I was crowing or something.

(i) not dalglish

not saying kenny's blameless, but clarke seems to responsible for the tactical minutiae and how we set up defensively. the deep line also seems to be reminiscent of his time at chelsea with mourinho. kenny's more of a macro manager. i think he has the right ideas, but it's implementing them fully which has been part of the problem. i think someone like borrell would be more suited to how i think kenny wants us to play.

i do change my mind a million times a day wrt whether or not kenny should stay btw. at the moment i think i'm ok with it.

idk what a macro manager gets paid for

'i'd like us to attack more, do kind of better things with the white round thing, the ball, what? those fan chappies like that sorta stuff, eh?' *saunters off to the lounge,making vaguely tally-ho type motions*

― pet tommy & the barkhaters (darraghmac), Monday, 14 May 2012 16:14 (1 year ago) Permalink

plus there's a director of football to sort out and the implications that will have for kenny etc etc etc. in short, no idea.

moving on... been meaning to say for ages, i love ramires.

personally think another year of kenny will be a disaster. but prove me wrong kenny, prove me wrong.

i agree, but who to go in there? and under what kind of system?

― pet tommy & the barkhaters (darraghmac), Monday, 14 May 2012 16:24 (1 year ago) Permalink

i can see both sides. i mean right now i genuinely don't know what i want to happen. this is only an hour after i said "i reckon he's staying, which i'd be happy about". eurgh. don't wanna think about it anymore. good luck fsg. right now i wanna buy panini stickers and predict scores for the euro 2012 the guy down the road's organised.

*the euro 2012 predictor game. the guy down the road did not organise euro 2012 itself.

― Chris, Monday, 14 May 2012 16:32 (1 year ago) Permalink

yeah don't know who would go in, i feel like a bit of a gamble on somebody who will shake things up a bit, eg villas-boas, though he prob wouldn't want it, is the way to go.

Getting in Villas Boas would essentially involve having to ship out two years' worth of signings, pretty much everyone except Suarez and Enrique. If the owners are prepared for that level of investment, and possibly writing off a load of Carroll/Henderson money, then fair play to them, but I can't see them doing it for a guy who's just failed at Chelsea.

It would probably improve Liverpool in the medium term but it would be a very expensive way of going about it.

they're probably more like villa, 'nice' americans let 90s manager spend millions on english shite followed by financial retrenchment & relative austerity

I don't really want anything much to happen I don't think, the appetite for change has been beaten out of me continuously since it became clear Rafa was on his way. It feels like any change is only going to be for the worse, which is ridiculous because ... y'know.

a better manager than dalglish would do better with those players, give or take a winger and some squad bolstering

MON had Celtic unbeaten at home in Europe for absolute yonks and managed to get knocked out of the groups with 9 points.
MON in Europe > Gordon Strachan in Europe imo, though both came up short tactically, particularly away from home.

liverpool's current squad is probably no better than newcastle's let alone the top four

a better manager than dalglish might have got another ten points just by correcting the obviously terrible decisions like playing a cm of gerrard and adam, but they'd still be seven points off the top four

can mp4xa perhaps explain why villa fans seem weirdly cocky about paul lambert taking over

i did have a natter with a villa lad the other week who thought the club was all set to build properly again now all of the deadwood's out of contract but uhhhh those accounts looked pretty rotten iirc

No, it's still up. Enjoyed that, but then I think he's great anyway. Slagging off Big Sam, grandiose promises, the commode mouth - love it all. I'd like it if he licked these guys' boots a bit less, but that's Kean for you, he challenges you at every turn.
