Re: Liverpool Thread(I Just Can't Get Enough!!)
Just wanted to add,we started last season with 5 pts from 5 games(tougher games than we had this season),this time round its 7pts from 5 games.People were up in arms bitchin back then(rightly so)but this time round no one seems to have the balls to say it(although you know its in their head)just cos its King Kenny...
Fucking hell mate, stop playing the contrarian it's getting really boring.
It's nothing to do with Kenny being "The King" and nobody wanting to criticise him, he's been getting plenty of criticism. The problem with Hodgson wasn't 100% about the results, it was a collective thing, he started off badly and got worse, he never ever said the right thing in press conferences or interviews, he stubbornly wouldn't change any tactics even when they weren't working.
There's some differences there, Kenny has tried several changes and new tactics when things aren't working, ok the changes don't always work but at least he tries something different. Of course he made mistakes yesterday, and i agree that Kuyt should have started but he was also let down by his players who didn't start the game well and made too many mistakes. Skrtel is playing right back to cover for injured players and he had a nightmare after two competent performances in that position. Adam had a bad game but isn't a bad player, same goes for Downing and Carroll. I bet when he scored two against City you weren't calling for him to be sold, give the lad a chance, so far he's played less than Torres and scored more since the transfer so get some perspective.
also, on this 5 game thing, last season we'd deservedly lost 2, drawn 2 and scraped a win against West Brom. This season we've lost 2 (including the Stoke game when we should have had a penalty), drawn 1 and won 2 (including beating Arsenal at the Emirates for the first time).
It's very early days, we're still above Tottenham in the league yet suddenly they're contenders and we're not after losing 4-0 with 9 men on the pitch and losing to Stoke after some poor refereeing in a game we completely dominated.
Hodgson got slaughtered by Liverpool fans, but the man went about everything the wrong way, Dalglish is ingrained in the history of the club so of course he's going to get more slack from the fans, but don't be mistaken into thinking the fans will stand by him no matter what even if he drags us down. If you believe that then you've clearly never heard of Graeme Sounness.
