There are so many arrogant people on this site, its unbeleivable! We are LFC 'AND'? We have to earn the right to win games and be at the top of the league! I understand peoples frustration, but there is no need to be arrogant. We have the best supporters, but some of you should be ashamed of yourselves. We need to get behind the team and KK and things will start improving. It will not get any worse, but it will take time so stop with the negativity. What do you think Ed?

Liverpool rumours.this is the man united fan again

=====================================

Over the next few years you lot can sit and watch as we rebuild and buy top players whilst with your 750 million pounds worth of crippling debt mean you won't be able to buy anybody and most of your top players will be entering retirement, our future looks good, yours look horrendous, no back to bed sunshine it's school in the morning!

Do you see us signing a striker in January, if so who are the realistic candidates. And if not who would you expect in the summer? {ed's note - realistic ones for January seem to be Wolfswinkel and Hoarau.}

Cheers, Think wolfswinkel is a bit lightweight myself, not sure if he would cope in the premier league. Haven't heard of Hoarau but will definitely have a look

Great site

Liverpool Rumours
Ed's I think all Liverpool fans are united in the fact we need another striker. I've seen people posting about certain strikers being the perfect back up for Torres, yet Torres on his current form is not good enough. I would say we need to sign a world class forward in order to compete. I know January is a tough window, but leaving it till the summer the way the team is going ATM I cannot see us attracting any players of real quality, let alone a striker (them being the ficklest of creatures) . Ultimately I am very worried that our side is on a slippery slide of decline.

Do you see us signing a striker in January, if so who are the realistic candidates. And if not who would you expect in the summer? {ed's note - realistic ones for January seem to be Wolfswinkel and Hoarau.}

Hi Ed,

I think the biggest problems we have at the moment are the confidence and our defensivly mind.
I reckon that if we get our confidence back and start pressing as soon as we loose the ball we will be ok because ive noticed that as soon as we loose the ball we are all going backwards waiting on whats gonna happen.
I would like one winger (think Arda Turan would be woth a try) and a striker but not Suarez as he only playes for himself.
I truly believe King Kenny will get us back, you could see the difference with Torres yesterday, what do think off this? {ed's note - I agree, Roy has them programmed to back pedal the moment we lose the ball. It will take time to get that out of them and get them pressing instead. If anyone can rebuild us it is Kenny.}

Been reading on here for a while about glen johnson playing right midfield instead of full back and how much better he would be playing there.
now i don't if this is true or not but i was at anfield for the europa game against napoli and was in the arkles having drinks beforehand and got chatting to a lad and this topic came up about johnson in midfield and apparantly (according to this lad) johnson has a clause in his contract stating that he has to be played at right back for him to be englands right back. like i say i don't know if this is true or not seeing as he did play at left back against blackpool but it does make you wonder why he hasnt played right midfield yet.

Liverpool Rumours
Liverpool have parted company with 6 scouts, including former chief scout Eduardo Macia. Spaniard Macia left the club by mutual consent last week.

New director of football strategy Damien Comolli (pictured) has made the decision to terminate the contracts of five other scouts, most of whom were appointed under Rafa Benitez.

One of the scouts leaving is Jakob Friis-Hansen, the father of reserve keeper Martin Hansen. He told Danish press:

“Virtually everyone who has been employed under Benitez, has now finished at the club. This is also a couple of Spanish coaches. It is very natural that it happens when a new manager or sporting director to a club. We did never actually meet Comolli, but he has some other ideas, and it is basically fair enough. I've got a nice severance scheme and am free to start a new job.”

ed did you know this had happened? ? {ed's note - yes mate, hardly a big deal, those scouts had been a failure and had recommended the dross we have in our team after all.}

Last night after the blackpool game, Ian Holloway insists it will take more than £3.5million to prise Charlie Adam away from Blackpool. Why would lfc wanta pay 5million for such a player. Thats half jan budget. just seems a waste. .

Were you not watching last night? He's exactly our sort of player.
er. Get him signed!

My friend in madrid has heard one again that we have made enquires about benzema on loan till summer.real are taking adeboyor with a view to a permanent deal.he told me the same last week.could happen.
comolli wants this move to happen.

I do not get the benzema rumours. I know the above post isn't stating an approval but i've read a lot of requests for us to try and get him. Why? He had one good season, got a big money move to madrid and has been poor with the occasional moment of class ever since. In short he is a french ryan babel but with a much bigger ego, wage demand and price tag. I would prefer to see babel given a run up front. I don't usually ask the ed's for their opinion as I trust that they are big enough and smart enough to comment whenever they see fit, but I wouldn't mind hearing their views on benzema?

Redfish

{editor: Like you said, decent player, inconsistant and a huge ego to match his wage demands.}

Hello playmates, The Purple Helmet here. Haven't posted for a while mainly because like everyone else; I have been trying to get my head round the debacle of a season we have all witnessed and why but I think I'm beginning to understand a bit more.
Roy Hodgson is a good, honest football man but his appointment was a straightforward mistake on the part of everyone involved, including Roy. The sheer magnitude of the Club and the job was more than he ever imagined and he failed to inspire both players and fans, sad but true.
Benitez remains for me the culprit of our demise for several reasons, not least the fact that he treated players and staff as commodities, not people. He might have been a 'tactical genius' but too often he forgot that simple football is sometimes the most effective and didn't like anyone telling him so. Too many duds were bought and too many square pegs were played in round holes thus continuity, one of the most precious words in the Anfield vocabulary, went out of the window. I think he would be happy if football was played on a black and white chess board rather than green grass, that said, we finished last season sending more players to the World Cup than anyone other PL club and thereby lies the problem.
We keep hearing from media pundits and others that the squad isn't good enough but that stat belies the supposition. On paper, our squad stands up against more or less anyones, the problem is footy is played on grass not paper.
I honestly believe that every team this season is suffering from a World Cup hangover with so many strange results and erratic form. Could Man U expect to be clear at the top in January with an away record of won 2, drew 7 any other season? Of course its making things more exciting for most, but not all- particularly Liverpool fans. If you look around, the malaise isn't just affecting the PL with the Eredivisie and Serie A in similar states of flux but I am only concerned about us.
I genuinely think that we have to accept that this season is a write off and survival is a genuine aim and a necessity. Nobody's form has been acceptable. Gerrard is showing signs of burn out, Reina has been erratic ( would things be different now if he hadnt fumbled in the last minute against Arsenal and we had started with a win?) and Torres . . well he bemuses me just as much as anybody else but I am just stating facts, not being critical, I love those guys as much as the rest but in the case of Nando, I just want him kept healthy till May and sent away on holiday as far away from football as possible. He's played constantly for four years and hasn't had a proper pre season since he joined us. I'm convinced that fully rested, he will terrorise teams in 2011-12.
The nucleus is there, nobody coming in in the January window is going to make too much difference. King Kenny will need to restore confidence and smiles and I've no doubt that he can and will.
Consolidation is the name of the game at the moment. Christ, we haven't even got a CEO at the moment so the Club is a bit of a rudderless ship.
Whats done is done. Lets start afresh on Sunday by being realistic in our expectations and getting behind everyone that wears a red shirt.
As Sir Martin Broughton said 'Keep the faith! '

To the manure fan that comes to the liverpool site. Yeah fair enough we are'nt doing to well now but we are true dedicated fans. We love liverpool no matter what.

Just want to ask a question and answer it. .
If i go to old trafford , would i find the original champions league trophy?

The answer is NO! Only when you win it 5 times you kept it. On that note all i have to say to manure fans is brag when you 5 and if you want you can view the original at anfield or in madrid and milan. Thats the class liverpoolfc is in.

its only january m8 lol, don't cum for first time in ur life just yet, , , man city r gaining on united fast, and so far united r playing crap granted they r winning games but only cos other teams below are not playing to their potential, my opinion united r playing the best they can do, its the teams below making u look good, when they start playing to what they can do you will see united drop to 2nd or 3rd in league, and city will win it. .as for kings of england u got to get 1 more tleague title which i don't think u will this season or the next, and then u need 3 more champions league titles, , so when u have them 4 titles then united fans can say united r kings of england lol ha ha

{Editor Note: Because our current midfielders aren't up to it. Poulsen constantly gives away fouls and can't pass, Lucas can't seem to do anything defensivly and offensivly, Meireles is soft, pulls out of tackles and can't seem to do anything going forward. To generalise - our midfielders are utterly useless and ineffective. Atleast Adam gets stuck in and can make things happen, has got a great left foot.}

So now you've got the midfield of your chest, what about the rest of the team? Who is really a first 11 player? Who gets kept as a squad player? And most importantly, who gets turfed out the door?

The Irish Rover

in my opinion meireles will be good, but as for the team id keep, , , ,
reina. . kelly. .agger. aurelio. carra. meireles. gerrard. cole. johnson (as right winger). . torres
out of them in first 11 would be, ,
reina. carra(for now). agger. aurelio. .gerrard. .torres

cole and meireles subs. . .buy. .honda. .suarez. elia
moussa sissoko. .id use wilson. pacheco. shelvey. spearing.

my first 11 would look like this,

reina
kelly carra agger aurelio
sissoko
honda gerrard elia
suarez torres

subs, , , jones, wilson, johnson, cole, meireles, shelvey, pacheco

id sell. . jova, , babel, , lucas, , poulsen, , konchesky, , skrtle, , kyriagkos, , i would say ngog but we need back up, and he is young still room to improve.

This seems a bit late for a child of your age. Make sure your homework is done and that your mum is there to tuck you in tonight. You talk about deluded Liverpool fans yet for the past 6 months all United fans have talked about is signing Kaka on loan and having billionaire Qatari owners.

Good luck living in the shadow of City for the next two decades while Fergie's last generation of kids fall flat on their face as I expect.

To the haters, fakers, shakers and quakers news fresh in that is hotter than Lorraine Kelly! There is something going down sure enough people! That tricky swine Babel had me looking like a proper plum sandwich yesterday. I had it on very good authority that Kenny was all set to unleash the crazy wizard on the tangerines last night. After being well impressed in training. Then all of a sudden bosh the boy is whipped out of the squad all together. Well, since the return of the King my source is right back in the royal court which is making me feel real good! Basically a deal is all agreed for a target with Big Bad Babel going in the other direction. Wont know who the mark is until tomorrow but I swear on my favourite dogs life that I will share it with all you computer jockeys tomorrow! Life is good, share the love Red dudes! Big Bad Dave

Wright-Phillips returned to City from Chelsea in August 2008 for around £9MILLION. Fulham, Birmingham and Liverpool want him. Liverpool have limited funds and want to loan swp as a short term fix, but have a real problem with the players pay packet. swp also wants guaranteed first-team football.

everyone but city r on limited funds, but liverpools limited funds isn't as bad as ppl think we have more money to spend than united at the moment, liverpool owners tho want to make sure first that the players we buy r worth the money. .trust nesv will buy well.

i am a liverpool fan, and i have to admit fergie is a good manager and has done well with united, ok fair enough most seasons united have deserved them but there has been some they havent and have gotten lucky, fergie has bought alit of duds in his time also, managers can only buy players who r doing well for their clubs, and liverpool did the same, they were doing well for their clubs b4 they came to liverpool, but jus havent been able to hack it in the prem, or alot just havent been able to settle in england at all, all teams it happens to, just united fans and other rivals pick out liverpools bad buys, forgetting they all have had bad buys too, where in a bad way now but we will be back we have been in bad way times b4 and came back fighting for honours, very soon united will be fallen giant, and u will feel the pain lfc fans r going through now, every giant falls sooner or later.

Luis Suarez told the press that he wanted someone else to be captain so he wouldn't be in the spotlights to much on his own form. so he could start enjoying more and get over his little dip of form. . He is having a difficult period of finding the goal at the moment.

But this all could also just be a smokescreen

To generalise - our midfielders are utterly useless and ineffective. Atleast Adam gets stuck in and can make things happen, has got a great left foot.}

So now you've got the midfield of your chest, what about the rest of the team? Who is really a first 11 player? Who gets kept as a squad player? And most importantly, who gets turfed out the door?

The squad is currently under-performing due to damage done under Rafa and Roy on the training ground. . it will take a little time to put right but the signs are already there. . Chill out and calm down. Everything will work out

I have it on good authority that there will be very little, possibly no transfer activity in January. From what has been leaked FSG have been advised to refrain spending large sums during this window. This has been backed up with a large amount of statistical research and risk assessments on player transfered between clubs during the January window (especially from abroad). FSG have funds available but expect this to be spent during the summer. FSG are not here to buy short term success, they will take a considered approach and concentrate on funding youth developement.

Adam Hammill about to sign for blackpool in a 500k deal. maybe they will be letting adam go?"


if you mean maybe liverpool will let him go you're a bit late, we sold him to barnsley in 2009.
have heard that we are in for ivan rakitic of schalke, not sure about this one though as i though as i think kenny quite likes lucas and i can't see where else rakitic would play.

i meant they are signing a midfielder and that might make it easier to sign adam. a possible replacement if/ when adam leaves.
mikey

What could happen is we give Blackpool a free run for Hammill. As i heard we had a clause for 1st refusal on buying him back. Then you could end up seeing Charlie Adam signing for us in return?

sorry micheal dawson this is has been coming out of tottenhams training ground all week my nephew is on the academy i don't know how much and if hes passed a medical but terms have been agreed and also a small leaving party has been done already. i do not know why he would want to join us all i know is what my nephew has told me and i am just passing this with u all.
thanks ed for posting

{Editor's Note: I would hope that you now may see that I do not post the "absolute garbage" you are now being accused of yourself. I do make a concerted effort to filter posts in relation to what I am in a position to know (so as not to mislead folk) and I will take the time to read the posts and politely reject as necessary. Your sniping at myself and others was perhaps, as I hope you now realise, wrong. I hope that when you retire to bed tonight it will be as a more understanding and better human being.}

Can I ask if anyone knows what the situation with Insua is?
I'm under the impression he is out on loan somewhere right?
Are we able to bring him back at any point? And is this a loan deal with a possibility of whatever club he is at signing him for a fixed fee after the loan?

Surely he would be better to have than Konchesky.

{Editor's Note: Actually Galatasaray have made it clear, or at least coach Gheorghe Hagi has made it clear, that loanees are not the way forward. As such, Insua is expected back at Liverpool. The question remains is whether or not he is wanted back at the club.}

Why do people still think that the Suarez deal will happen? when our interest was made, around the same time as Spurs, he came out in the press stating that he would love a move to London! he has never said that he is even flattered to be linked with us, and if my memory serves me well after Spurs cooled their interest he said he was happy to stay in Holland. It's one thing to buy a really good player, and another to buy one that wants to come! Gillespie spoke on LFC.TV and said the good thing about KK is that he will only buy players that he regards as Liverpool players, in other words players that will add to the squad and want to add to the squad. I don't think Suarez (as good as he is) is a Liverpool Player Aguero is a Liverpool Player, just a shame he would command a high wage.

your crazy lol he wants out of holland and spurs have coled interest, at the moment only other team interested is liverpool and he wants to play in the epl, he will know liverpool will be back fighting again soon, people always assume that players will only go for top teams, so tell me why tottenham wast a top team but they still managed to get top players, modric, defoe, crouch, bale, lennon, pavluchenko, these players came when tottenham where mid table and even lower

Luis Suarez told the press that he wanted someone else to be captain so he wouldn't be in the spotlights to much on his own form. so he could start enjoying more and get over his little dip of form. . He is having a difficult period of finding the goal at the moment.

But this all could also just be a smokescreen

so all the effort made by cammoli and the scouting team for a couple of months is for nothing? Kenny is here for 6 months and with that kind of appointment you just get to work with whatever is made available to you. i don't think he will have much role in transfer decisions. He may be more trusted than roy in making recommendations but not in deciding who comes here.

My dad knows the head grounds man at Liverpool and apparently Ian Rush is coming back as the first team assistant. Great news. 100% true.

Also we've been linked with Elia, Suarez, SWP, Nzogbia, Marveaux, Cahil, Coentrao and Shawcross. We've only put bids in for Elia, Marveaux and Suarez.

Bennoman YNWA

Yes Rush was a legend, but the last thing Liverpool football club need right now is an old pals act, KK made a great appointment in Steve Clarke.Didi H amman would be a good step in the right direction replacing Sammy Lee.
On the playing side, unless we have pots of money we don't need wholesale changes in January. Charlie Adam, Adam Hammill and Kevin Doyle would strengthen the squad, saving any money for a top, top quality playmaker in the summer.
We have defensive cover with the young kids Wilson and Ayala, we have got a decent enough squad we just need some confidence, Clarke will get the defence in order, onwards and upwards, starting Sunday. . . . . the playmaker, Eden Hazard, hopefully

If Charlie Adams and Andy Carroll are just two guys who have recently been promoted and now valued by premiership clubs, then how poor is the scouting system within the premiership?

I mean, 20 years ago teams like Liverpool, Arsenal, Man u etc were picking up these guys from lower league clubs and developing their talents and making them 1st team players. I bet last year or the year before we could of got Charlie Adam or Andy Carroll for the fraction of their current value.

It seems the most fashionable thing is to get foreign names at silly prices.
I'm sure there is more talents like Andy Carroll and Charlie Adam's in lower leagues at lose change of what the Market is.
Forget trendy and bring back good old fashioned talent scouting.

The past transfer windows we did not have extra funds to buy players that's the reason we are in this position.all top clubs buy 1/ 2 players in the summer to keep the team sharp.we lost players.
we where not able to do this for 2 years.
it is very clear that several players need to be replaced.
skrtl is a back up player like evans(man u)no starter.
left back position is a priority this januari.
we need a techinal midfielder that can pass players and pass the ball.a player like (pirlo sneijder)
kuyt jovanovic babel maxi aurelio poulsn konchesky all are past it/ never we be it.
we should try to get a left defender and a left winger this window and they need to be class, if that is not possible i say wait.
in the summer
1 midfielder
right winger
striker
central defender

we sell the players not needed and get 30mil for all off them.
all the youngsters will get there chances next year, and when the team is playing well the youngsters will adopt more.
being young its very difficult to play when the team is playing terrible.
i say we need 6 players that will cost 100mil, 70mil from nesv.
thats alot off money but that's the price we have to pay because off no funds the last 2 years.divide that into the last 6 transfer windows and the amount is normal.
i think NESV would like to get the club back into the top 4 FAST.so all their plans(THE GROUND AND INCREASE THE TURNOVER)in order to do all that they have no choice then to spend now.
we have
reina
agger
gerrard
cole
torres
thats 5 class starters
kelly is getting there.
i really believe whit 6 new class players we will be back, and this does not require years.
2 this window and 4 in the summer.

If NESV spent £250 million on two players for the Red Sox, then surly money is not a concern to them, its just about the right players, so surly if Kenny specifically wants someone even if it one of the worlds best players , they will go the whole hog to secure their services won't they. .What do you think on that matter Ed. .

{Editor Note: They gave Red Sox long-term contracts worth a combined £250m. They didn't pay transfer fees for them.}

Ahhh right sorry, was just something a mate had told me. Still! they arnt shy to pay players a top wage, so maybe we will get a world class star after all. . .

lol ed 250 million on wages for 2 players is still a very huge amount that's like paying about 40-50 million on a fee each on 2 players, and 5 year contracts each on around 288k per week just calculated, 250mill take 50 mill for 1 players fee and 50 for another players fee, then had 150mill devided by 2, then devide that by 5, then devide that by 52 weeks, gives u around 288k per week seriously if they can pay that for baseball players then they can pay 150k per week for a football player and a fee of 30-40 mill

Ed I completely agree with you, since the loss of Mascherano we have not been able to control a game which is why Reina has to hoof the ball up the field so often. We once had the best partnership in the league (Monster masch and Xabi) now when Stevie isn't playing we have no control in midfield whatsoever. We only submitted a 22 man squad so there is room to add 3 players. A quality CM a la Martinez, Benenga, Diarra. A quality Winger/ Striker and a quality defender. I am sure Comolli will know this so lets wait and see.

Liverpool will have sunk to our biggest low, if we went and bought Suarez, the guy is a cheat and a animal. .do we want "players" like that at Liverpool? Please Ed you know the score, whats your thoughts? {ed's note - I don't like him, I am not convinced he is good enough either, he plays in a weak league.}

Lets hope our American cousins put there hands in there pockets and give Kenny a decent transfer budget
after last nights game a blind man could see there needs someone in the midfield with a bit of nouce
about him.creativity is clearly lacking, maybe Kenny played Poulsen & jovanovic to see how bad they really are
Would love to see kenny trying to get Éver Banega Juan Mata. would be a statement of intent from the Americans
and would surely lift the mood . . lets stop thinking of targets such as carlton cole and the like. or were they
just Roys targets?

If NESV spent £250 million on two players for the Red Sox, then surly money is not a concern to them, its just about the right players, so surly if Kenny specifically wants someone even if it one of the worlds best players , they will go the whole hog to secure their services won't they. .What do you think on that matter Ed. .

{Editor Note: They gave Red Sox long-term contracts worth a combined £250m. They didn't pay transfer fees for them.}

Ahhh right sorry, was just something a mate had told me. Still! they arnt shy to pay players a top wage, so maybe we will get a world class star after all. . .

Given how weak we have been through the middle i believe a tough rackling central midfielder is essential. Meireles has been pulling out of to many challenges for my liking and lucas is a squad player for me. We need lassana diarra. Obviously we need to strengthen other areas as well but teams are walking over our team at the moment.

There is no point in writing that you have seen someone at an airport or read soemthing on a club site e.g Suarez if you know it isn't the case - what is the point!

I read the rumour of Saurez and checked the Ajax site and as expected nothing there - I just unerstand people who make things up and don;t see the point in doing it.

ED could you please explain why we would possibly need Charlie Adam we already have a ton of CM's? ?

{Editor Note: Because our current midfielders aren't up to it. Poulsen constantly gives away fouls and can't pass, Lucas can't seem to do anything defensivly and offensivly, Meireles is soft, pulls out of tackles and can't seem to do anything going forward. To generalise - our midfielders are utterly useless and ineffective. Atleast Adam gets stuck in and can make things happen, has got a great left foot.}

Suarez

These Suarez posts are so similar to those made in the summer about Aguero , and when the summer was over many of you were so disappointed because you actually believed it was happening .

We have not made an approach for him, and if we do we will be out bid by spurs , I would imagine he will turn down both unless he is offered massive wage something both clubs won't do as a matter of policy.
He would prefer to stay at Ajax where the chances of champions league is much better than those with LFC or Spurs and Champion league football means more chances of bigger clubs (Madrid/ Barca/ Milans etc) come knocking.
Dont be disappointed comes 31 Jan and Suarez still in Holland, put this Suarez rumours to bed.

Maarten Stekelenburg of Ajax, has been given the captaincy full time. I understand this has no barring on a potential transfer of Suarez, but this has only just come to fruition. He was banned in November, why not announce it then. I am not saying he is coming to Liverpool or any other club. I am being very wishful, that we will try and snap him up.

No, he hasn't signed. But it's a pre-contract, just like the Ilorente-deal.

He's going to them in the summer.

I know many here will disagree with this, but what about John Carew? I think he could help us, as a squad player. His strenghts are that's hes strong, good to hold the ball, good in air and not so slow. We need a striker that can help Torres and a big man like him can make the job much easier for Torres. Hes contract will go out in 6 months, so he would be able for around 1-2mill £.

People questioning us going after Adam must be blind. Being obsessed with reputation and 'brilliant foreign youngsters' has got us where we are. So many young french, dutch & spanish flops been through here. Adam has performed all season in our league, not ligue1 or eredivisie. I would pay 10m for him tomorrow! Why the hell are we after van Wolf when Wickham will cost the same price? Elia? Another Babel - mark my words. Who says Turan will cope in England? Everyone rates Banega (because the press rates him) - but common, couldn't even get into Valencia team before he fought with the coach. Why didn't we buy A. Johnson before City has money? Prob because some morons would have laughed him off. Varney last night as a LCF did more in one game than Babel has done in 3 years.

I would drop everyone, play only Torres, Reina & Gerrard (when he is back) and maybe Meireles (as he has skills). Put in the reserves and U18's. They couldn't do worse than this lot. Starting over is the only way.

This is obviously why you are not the manager, moronic suggestion to drop everyone apart from three players, contracts don't quite work like that just as transfers don't, as kenny said, there is no quick fix, dropping the rest of the team doesn't only destroy any cohesive value the club has left, morale and strains within the team will drop to new lows. Get your head screwed on boy.

First I wanna say I am really impressed how people inside in Liverpool are working. The press don't even have a clue who Liverpool are looking at, maby just a few players and that's because of the clubs they are currently playing for.

I hope that Liverpool can get 1 or 2 wingers, a striker and a new defender. Think Honda, Elia, Young and Sanchez are exiting playes who would give our team the type of winger we need. Hoping we can sign one of them.

We also need a striker who can play alone and also along side with Torres. A big and strong striker would be best since we don't have players like Alonso anymore who can pass great passes all the time, we have now many players that are kicking the ball towards Torres and just hoping he can do something. With Llorente defenders would have to watch him since hes so big and that would open alot of space to Torres. I think Llorente would be the perfect partner to torres and would be good as a single striker when Torres can't play. There are some rumours that he has already agreed with Real Madrid, but nothing is confirmed.
Other strikers i know would be good for our team is Aguero and Carroll, but theres no chanse they will come.
Many people here hope for Suarez or Negredo, I think Suarez would be better then Negredo, but can't say I am convinced that any of them are the right players.

As for a defender i would love a player like Gary Cahill, but again I think its more likely we will end up with Shawcross.

Ed what do you think? What players would you like to come this window?

{Editor Note: I would like atleast one winger, and a striker to arrive. Wouldn't mind Charlie Adam either. Our midfielders can't pass at all - he would be an improvement on them.}

Adam
Albrighton
Wickham
G. Cahill
And Suarez & Honda

Another thing, Everton throw Coleman in at RB (now RM) and the kid is awesome. Where are our Coleman's? {ed's note - Everton did no such thing, they sent him out on loan to Blackpool last season where he starred.

I also heard this from a taxi driver in Liverpool last weekend.
He said it would be to play alongside Torres and also hold up the ball for the midfield players to get forward in support.
He would also be able to mentor N'gog and show him how to hold up play.

I have a plea. Can people stop dreaming of mega bucks signings that will cost a mint in salaries as well? There are two reasons I ask this. .
1 Platini's new initiative to cap clubs spending to below what they earn
2 KK's belief that a team is more important than individual stars ( a belief of the club as well!)

Take the two together and I do not see us signing mega stars who may not fit into the team and who may not do well in the kick and rush of the premiership. Those days are over. Rather we will be looking at keeping the wage bill down below our revenue to allow us to buy players who will fit into the team and the way we wish to play. Why do people think Man City have been splashing the cash over the last 18 months? Because they could not next year if they want to get into Europe. They now have a window in which they can generate revenue and justify their salaries. . .still a bit dodgey if you ask me.

Give NESV some slack. They are astute and I believe they know what they are doing.

"if you mean maybe liverpool will let him go you're a bit late, we sold him to barnsley in 2009."

Maybe controversial but i feel at this moment in time we are in need of players who will come in and have an impact. Loving the fact we are being linked with the like of Chamberlain and Whickham but for me they would be better purchase in the summer when we have a bit more time to work with them. I think we will sign a CB, SC and a winger i would like to see Shawcross, Suarez & Johnson!

I think all are unlikely but would have a great impact, loving the site!

Maybe it's true and we have made a bid or maybe it's mind games with other clubs?.

Last night I came to a conclusion that I have had brewing for a long time. The current crop of players are fundamentally unskilled. Most of them have no first touch to speak of (Reina actually has better ball skills than most of them) and are poor on the ball when receiving passes from the anywhere, then the passing is woeful to say the least. Kuyt, Babel, Lucas, Johnson, Ngog, Jovanovic, Skrtl and Poulson are all guilty of this. Also movement on and off the ball is non existent. Hopefully the next crop of youngsters coming through Rodolphos ranks are in the Barcelona/ Old Liverpool style. We have to get players who can trap and pass skillfully. All we have are rubbish. Please Kenny, bring in players with skill, especially on the wings. Kenny was right when he said all they use to play was 5 a side. Pass and move, pass and move, over and over. .

Story lads,
We need to chill out now and leave kenny do his work. Last two games were better than anything we had done in months. He's only had 1 training season with our 1st team lads. Last nite we were all about pace a sloppy ball allowed Blackpool get back in which dented our confidence. And ball watchin by Johnson and a puffter attempt at a header by skrtel to win the 1st header allowed them to go ahead. On a positive not Torres looked sharper and more comfortable. Skrtel is a serious weak link in defense as is Johnson so I say out the door with them. Lucas looked more comfortable goin forward also a plus. Think it's time we jus get behind kk and the players now. J Henry will be over for 10 days I think so I would expect a CEO announced soon also after derby expect transfers to start rolling then.

Surely would it not make sense to use Ryan Babel as bait in the deal for Luis Suarez. I'd love to see Suarez at Liverpool, and although I like Babel, he's not being played as regularly as Suarez would be, who is a much better player.
Other than that, I hear rumours about Romelu Lukaku potentially moving to Liverpool at the end of this month, who at 17 is a hot prospect, along with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
With Kenny Dalglish now in charge I can see players being promoted from within, such as Dani Pacheco, Jay Spearing, Martin Kelly, Suso, Jonjo Shelvey and possibly Thomas Ince. However, this should not be the priority as we can see with Aston Villa, football doesn't work with kids.
For the first time in a long time i'm excited by the prospect of new signings as rumours suggest that high-profile players are to be brought in, including: Fabio Contrao, Eljero Elia, Luis Suarez, Romelu Lukaku, SWP, Ryan Shawcross, Gervinho, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Ricky Van Wolfswinkle (I'm not deluded and am aware that many of these transfers won't happen though)

It's official - fans know nothing, reasons being, and shoot me down if there were injuries prior to last nights game.

Poulsen - playing 85 minutes
No Aurelio - ( even on the bench )
No Babel - ( even though he looked good on Saturday)
Maxi left on the bench
Johnson - didn't see the game but I was told he played left back.

And the talented kids being ignored.

Fingers crossed Kenny that you get us out of this temporary slump - ever the optimist, but on last recent evidence it aint going to be easy.

Pessimism also rules when I honestly believe NESV are only going to be short term owners.

It looks to me like LFC players have lost the self belief they used to have in their heyday.
Confidence appears so low that it is infecting everyone. We need some players not just with potential, but with experience of winning.

I would like us to attempt to get someone like Schwinstieger to replace Poulson.

Turan & Honda would be added to provide some much needed creativity, pace, and width and I would look to experience again to assist Torres up front. Podolski (or similar) would be my choice here. Now while that may not be a long term solution, you can't fault his record in big games and both the germans would bring a bit of stability, experience and winning mentality to the team.

Didi should be brought back in to help with persuading some of Germany's talent to switch to the EPL. The one thing about German footballers is that they seem have a great self belief.

Hit Believe, if you think we should be looking for experience as well as potential. Unbelieve if you think we should forget today and only look to sign youngsters with potential for the future.

For all the people not accepting that we are in a relegation battle, have a look at our remaining fixtures:

Wolves - A

Stoke City - H
Chelsea - A
Wigan - H
West Ham - A
Man United - H
Sunderland - A
WBA - A
Man City - H
Arsenal - A
Birmingham - H
Newcastle - H
Fulham - A
Tottenham - H
Villa - A

We still have to play a lot of teams who are better than us, they shouldn't be, but on this years form & performances they are.

Last 6 games, won 2, lost 4.

Kenny needs to get us to 40 points or so. That's all everybody on here should be looking for.

Well i think we are watching the worst liverpool team ever, lucas is carp, milan even worse , skrte can't defend, johnson not even a good right even worse on the left, raul lost his football brain, the team can't string 3 passes together, if we had 3 top manager's we would still be were we are fact is players are not good enough, we need footballers in the team not players who think they can play football, kuyt runs 20 yards for the ball only to pass it back from were he just ran from needs dropping fast , very worried!

####################

Lucas is a fish! Madness how can he stay on the pitch for 45 mins at a time without water. deserves respect for that alone never mind his footballing skills he hasnt even got feet! Sorrry lads but this is a shocking revelation. if this is the case i compeatly agree we do need footballers.

If Pacheco can't make the bench on sunday then send him out on loan. He is 20 now and needs to be playing 1st team football regularly.
It must be at championship level at the very least.
Eccleston going on loan to Charlton shows he has as much chance of making it with us as Darby.
It is probably too late for these guys.

I just hope the next wave of talented 17/ 18 year olds we have are given more of a chance - Flanagan, Robinson, Wisdom, Coady and of course Suso.
At least three of these should become first team regulars in the next two years.

I did comment last night saying give things a chance, kenny only trained with 1st team full squad once b4 the blackpool game. one day later and i still stand by what i said. . i wanted us to start having ago, get the ball down, and try and attack. last night we did do that but also left the door open at the back.

kenny is no idiot, there is few out there that know there football better. i do think he was was giving everyone a chance to impress. but i don't think we will see poulsen in a red shirt again. don't get me wrong, nice guy, trys hard, but sadly not good enough for LFC. Johnson on the left made KONC a world beater. Johnson for me needs to be on the right should be in midfield and not at the back. he simply isn't good enough for RB.

Skrtel is awful and playing really bad. i would play wilson but a young lad playing in a poor side might not be the answer. just hope carragher is back soon.

This is the players i would use, and the positions that we need to fill.

Riena
RB - Kelly CB -Wilson/ Carragher Agger LBWilson or Aurelio
RM - Johnson CM - Lucas/ Spearing Mereles another CM req'd. .LM - A decent LWinger Req'd
Gerrard/ Torres.

I think we lose something Gerrard gives when we play him in CM, i prefer him behind the front player.
* * *

while I agree with a lot of your post I think you are way off the mark when you suggest that Gerrard offers more playing off Torres. In his more natural midfield role he will see MUCH more of the ball and therefore can be more effective. SG in central midfield with a new quality centre mid partner maybe Honda or Pjanic behind Torres and new quality CF maybe Suarez or Barrios has to be the way forward. SG can still get forward as much as he likes if his partner is good enough (NOT Lucas)

"Blueprint for the Common Club - 1"
(anything Steve Parker can do . . I want to do better!)

I wonder if we will never be the club we once were? I base that not on money, but on the personnel. After all, Manchester United has always been a club that lagged behind us until they started signing potentially superb players.
They gambled on Eric Cantona, Roy Keane, promoted Giggs, Scholes, Beckham and Butt; they pushed ahead for Schmeichel and dived in for Rooney. They have been very successful with Sir Axel Forgerson at the helm. Now look at us.

In the 20 years they have been at the peak of the Premier League, we have spent more than £379 million (give or take a few bob) under three managers and the closest to the PL was a second place. In terms of players, we have only 'put our toes in the waters' in comparison to MUFC. We brought Carragher and Gerrard from the Academy, risked a lot for Reina, Torres, Aquilani and Macherano. It looks on the surface as though we have failed to 'buy really big' and 'take a chance' during these past 20 years. The more I look at it, the more it seems true. When a few clubs scramble for potential stars we should be leading the offers and waving the money in front of them. If it wasn't the case, then we wouldn't be complaining about the quality and depth of the squad today! Here MUFC have done it correctly.

We did push the boat out for Torres and Mascherano, but ignoring the past, this is maybe the time to do what MUFC has done and go for Romelu Lukaka, Eden Hazard and Luis Suarez. But, NESV want younger talent - they fit the bill . . but they don't want to pay ridiculous wages - I accept that . . but throwing money about is SADLY . . want to stress that . . SADLY . . what we might have to do to cling onto a top six hope in the short-term. This is down to Chelsea and Manchester City's financial recklessness in the past eight years. We all now suffer for it.

The reverse is that we do not follow the MUFC example. After all, it has brought them to the brink of the financial abyss. That may turn into a tsunami that will wash them over the edge when the Scot retires and they stumble as all things eventually do. But at the moment, it is what is keeping them at the top of the PL.

My view is that we will not get any of the major targets mentioned, not even Keisuke Honda. I don't agree with the posters on here saying we are still a big club and attractive and all that stuff. Maybe here I do agree with the phrase "an average club with a massive history." It's a delicate balance and one that NESV may fall down on, but not through their own actions.

If we don't push on quickly and grab at least two (expensive) and big names, then we condemn ourselves to being seen as second raters without the financial muscle or will to drive forward. You won't want to believe it, or hear it, but maybe we could grab Lukaka and Hazard, Suarez, Turan or Elia if we offer them very big money, and to their clubs. I don't want us to go that way, it's madness. But as MUFC has proved - taking a reasonable risk and speculating can pay dividends long term. The whole thing though is predicated on a manager that can work it into a winnable pot. This is Kenny Dalglish or probably another manager. What we need now is the money spent, the risks taken and the owners to provide the cash. I am very impressed with John Henry and Tom Werner. They will be very impressed with us if we take the first big step forward.

"Any personal views on transfew JF?

D."
Firstly, can I say it's refereshing to see a well thought out and calm reply. We don't agree, but some good constructive debate can only be healthy. I agree with you on Kuyt though, can't fault his workrate, but lacks the touch, delivery and pace required to play out wide.
As for transfers, I can safely say I have absolutely no clue what will transpire. I would be surprised if we don't sign a couple of players though. If it were me I would only sign a player(s) that would walk into the first team. Buying for buying's sake cannot possibly work in the long-run. It's why we are where we are I believe! Based on our current position, our best chance of adding some quality would be to focus on targets who have openly expressed an interest in playing for us. It's highly highly unlikely we will be able to attract the likes of Hazard, Lukaku, Suarez, Coentrao (to name but a few mentioned on this site) in the current window, so I would look at people like Turan and Honda. I would love a striker brought in, but I just can't see a target out there that fits. I am however very confident that we have the "right" owners behind us and that they will "under-promise and over-deliver" as they have stated. We really need to give them a chance to do just that! As I said in my previous reply people have very very short memories. I can assure you if and when we get back into the Top 4, we will (as we have in the past) be able to attract pretty much anyone we want.
Hope you're having a good one mate.

"Any personal views on transfew JF?

D."
Firstly, can I say it's refereshing to see a well thought out and calm reply. We don't agree, but some good constructive debate can only be healthy. I agree with you on Kuyt though, can't fault his workrate, but lacks the touch, delivery and pace required to play out wide.
As for transfers, I can safely say I have absolutely no clue what will transpire. I would be surprised if we don't sign a couple of players though. If it were me I would only sign a player(s) that would walk into the first team. Buying for buying's sake cannot possibly work in the long-run. It's why we are where we are I believe! Based on our current position, our best chance of adding some quality would be to focus on targets who have openly expressed an interest in playing for us. It's highly highly unlikely we will be able to attract the likes of Hazard, Lukaku, Suarez, Coentrao (to name but a few mentioned on this site) in the current window, so I would look at people like Turan and Honda. I would love a striker brought in, but I just can't see a target out there that fits. I am however very confident that we have the "right" owners behind us and that they will "under-promise and over-deliver" as they have stated. We really need to give them a chance to do just that! As I said in my previous reply people have very very short memories. I can assure you if and when we get back into the Top 4, we will (as we have in the past) be able to attract pretty much anyone we want.
Hope you're having a good one mate.

Prepare yourselves for championship fellows. no signings coming no more firing managers just forget mentioning names like lukaku, hazard etc. There is no chance in hell that these players will waste their careers with teams like lfc, who are living on borrowed time in the EPL.

'If Adam can provide this for us then he's in for me.

Spriggo'

Spriggo I don't question his ability, but Adam is in a team that allows him to play his natural game. We already have Gerrard and Meireles, plus young Shelvey. That's quite a crowd in midfield. Not to forget, Rafa went after Gareth Barry like a b*tch on heat and ended up losing Alonso. Where's Barry now? Charlie Adams? thanks but no thanks

(Lukaku is a good player. But he is not ready for the premier league. He is fast and strong. But his acceleration is not good @ all. And 20 mil pounds is 2 much. other thing is that he is a big chelseafan. If I was kenny I would go for suarez. He creates chances and scores goals.

Some of you are talking about hazard (best player of belgium). It will not happen he's arsenalfan.)

kenny dalglish was a rangers fan, it didn't stop him signing for celtic?michael owen, robbie fowler and jamie carragher were everton fans. .it dosnt matter who a player supports mate, if they get a chance to go to a big club they will go.

I did comment last night saying give things a chance, kenny only trained with 1st team full squad once b4 the blackpool game. one day later and i still stand by what i said. . i wanted us to start having ago, get the ball down, and try and attack. last night we did do that but also left the door open at the back.

kenny is no idiot, there is few out there that know there football better. i do think he was was giving everyone a chance to impress. but i don't think we will see poulsen in a red shirt again. don't get me wrong, nice guy, trys hard, but sadly not good enough for LFC. Johnson on the left made KONC a world beater. Johnson for me needs to be on the right should be in midfield and not at the back. he simply isn't good enough for RB.

Skrtel is awful and playing really bad. i would play wilson but a young lad playing in a poor side might not be the answer. just hope carragher is back soon.

This is the players i would use, and the positions that we need to fill.

Riena
RB - Kelly CB -Wilson/ Carragher Agger LBWilson or Aurelio
RM - Johnson CM - Lucas/ Spearing Mereles another CM req'd. .LM - A decent LWinger Req'd
Gerrard/ Torres.

I think we lose something Gerrard gives when we play him in CM, i prefer him behind the front player.

We do need a striker to at least raise our chances of scoring goals and winning games but our woeful defending has to take a large chunk of the responsibility. Do we need a new centre half? Yes I think we do. Danny Wilson played regularly for Rangers, not the best league in the world but better than 13th in the Premier league. Ed, why is the lad not playing for us?

The game against Man Utd on Sunday looked so promising with the younger generation given their chances. Surely we just need a striker to help torres and a bit of confidence in the younger lads we already have.

Shelvey in for Poulsen. Meireles as a defensive midfielder and Give Gerrard a free role like we used to.

No need to spend big this window Luis Suarez or Nargredo and Wilson out of the ressies!

Seems like speculation to me mate.

Tbh a lot of people are saying we need more attacking talent and whilst I agree I think where we're seriously lacking is in central midfield. we seem to get dominated in a way we didn't whilst we had Sissoko and later Mascherano. As good as Meireles and Lucas are they are lacking in physical presence and overall dynamism imo.

For fans who doubt this Charlie Adam. Do you remember some players who didn't cost the Earth such as:

Sami Hyypia
Steve Finnan
Gary Mcallister
Alvaro Arbeloa
Yossi Benayoun etc

You don't need to go out and throw millions at the problem. It is no guarantee that we will sort the problem out especially long term for example. . .Chelsea now with an ageing squad. The fact is we need players with the right attitude commitment desire etc as well as specific players to add dimensions to the team where we are weak like strength and being able to tackle. If Adam can provide this for us then he's in for me.

We have not bid for anybody , Kenny stated last night he is happy with the sqaud and he needs to see them for himself which takes time , Also it is very unlikely Charlie Adam will leave Blackpool now end of the season he will move.

- - - -

well Kenny isn't going to say that he's unhappy with squad is he. .That wouldn't really help build team morale! In his interview Kenny said that there had been no discussions about transfers. Of course there has - he's just playing the media (quashing rumours!) and therefore keeping his squad happy.

As for Charlie Adam. He didn't make it at Rangers and was loaned out to St Mirren and Ross County. He's probably just found himself a club that plays in a way that suits him. We need proven quality or young players with potential. .Not a player that has struggled with the Scottish Premier League! Buying Charlie Adam is a gamble. .

'I don't doubt Charlie Adam's ability as a passionate figure in the centre of the park, neither his playmaking ability, but personally i think it's abismal these are the quality of players we are realistically looking at?'

Couldn't agree more - but that's the reality. NESV has already said many times that they will identify and bring in young talent, which is why Comolli was appointed. Most people here just don't realise that

{Editor Note: I don't think NESV mean that they'll be signing 17 and 18 years olds only. Of course it is their aim to develop that type of talent but they'll look to bring in good players for the first-team also. Just listen to some of the stuff Comolli said about our transfer policy, and Henry himself. Lets just say, we won't be bringing in a 28-year-old for example for £20m and give him big wages when he's not going to be in his prime for many years. I think Henry's definition of "younger" can fall into two types.}

I do understand your point and agree totally that Lucas is improving game after game. For me though, he hasnt got the presence needed for a DM, i would love to be proved wrong though. My feeling is that Smicer and Biscan (to me) showed far more heart, passion and commitment to Liverpool. I know Kuyt puts in 110% every game, but rarely ever provides any fruits of his labour. i.e poor crossing, lack of creativity. Personally I think he should play as a striker more often, that work ethic coupled with creativity in the centre of the pitch would work well. If i remember correctly too, they were both extremely emotional after their final games for the club and showed great appreciation to the fans and vice versa. Any personal views on transfew JF?

Im not sure but i hope we are not planing on keeping our transfers for the summer cause it may be to late.
The way we are at the moment any half decent player is thinking twice about joining us now, imagine if we don't get into europe it will be harder, and god forbid if we were religated it would be impossible.
I know its difficult in jan to get good players away from there clubs, but money talks, we may have to spend extra and big now to try and stop the rot.
IF they don't adapt quickly " and as we all know it is hard " should worse come to worse at least we would have the players to start again.

Whats your take on it Ed? cause im worried

Posted 53 minutes ago on givemefootball.com

Liverpool are reportedly preparing a January bid for Uruguayan international striker Luis Suarez.

The 23-year-old Ajax forward has been linked with a move away from the Eredivisie for a number of months now, with new Liverpool chief Kenny Dalglish reportedly keen on the striker.

Damien Comolli, director of football strategy at Anfield, has reportedly given the green light to a move for the player, and John W. Henry is thought to be flying into Liverpool to discuss the club's transfer policy this winter.

Spurs are also thought to have enquired with regards to the availability of the player, reports the Daily Mail, and the former Groningen striker appears set to leave Holland.

The possibility of a bidding war is something that Liverpool are thought to be concerned about, and the paper claims they will test the water with an opening £15 million bid.

Just get the deal done. . . . 110 goals in 144 games for ajax! ! torres needs help!

Hey ed, pardon my ignorance on the following question. I saw that you said that we have 'prepared' bids for players and was wondering the following. Does this mean; A) targets have been identified, fees and wages decided upon, the owners sanctioning the deal, waiting on Kenny to give the ok before making an actual bid, or B) The same as scenario A, but instead of waiting for Kenny to say yes, we're waiting for the owners to ok the deals?

DownUnderRed {ed's note - bit of both, that is why the owners are over. Obviously in the future it will be the CEO rather than the owners sanctioning the move.}

- No rant from me (only because I am presuming you are extracting the urine? ). . I would like to point out however that I am over the moon we didn't "replace" Biscan and Smicer. Biscan was, on the whole, woeful (apart from the Deportivo game I believe) and Smicer was far far too inconsistent. Give me Lucas and Kuyt over the both of them any day (and I am no huge fan of either, although Lucas seems to be progressing). I wonder whether future generations will complain we never replaced Poulson and Maxi? It amazes me how short people's memories are.

All this talk about The S*n bemuses me. Hillsborough was a long time ago and I'm 23 and not really affected by it. I think I probably agree with Steve Parker that we need to move on. We should all do that to some extent in our lives. I can understand why some people are upset by all this talk, but life goes on guys. Maybe it's my age, but my generation just gets on with things and ignores stuff that doesn't interest or bother us. Think was what Steve Parker was trying to say? So I spose I agree with that bit. It's a bit like eating cabbage. Eat if it you like it, don't if you don't, but don't pressure people not to eat it and stop talking about it.

Ignorance is not the word! I am 23 and I know the effect of Hillsborough. It might of been a long time to you, but to most in the city (Liverpool & Everton fans) it is always in the mind. We lost a lot of our own men, women and children. My stomach is churning writing this. The things that the rag wrote about Hillsborough will never be forgotten, it is one thing that brings both colours of the city together. Life goes on! I wouldn't mind seeing you sit in front of family members who lost loved ones, and say those exact words. Sorry to go on Ed but this is a disgrace of a post. you could of said things regarding not buying the rag, but you have said a lot of naughty things in that most.

Charlie Adam not good enough? Part of a winning side last night with nothing short of effort and hunger. Don't recall him giving the ball away and dictated their side not only in terms of string pulling but direction and communication. I'd have him added to the squad if I could.

Shaun wright Phillips will be one of signing. Dancing confirmed he's leaving and kk has stated his interest. Not great
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
We don't need anymore overated crud like Wright Phillips in our squad. Also note the his father Ian made some quite underhand remarks about Kenny Dalglish and pro Hodgson remarks at the weekend in his paper column.
So Liverpool will be making good use of the terrible economic and financial situation in Spain and Portugal to make some excellent but prudent accusitions in the final days of the transfer window. Players previously quoted as over £10m will be available around £5m or below (ref Simao £1m to Besiktas last week).

Must admit, the rumour about Lambert and Coyle does seem to have some ring of truth to it.

I'd be happy with Coyle as a permanent manager, I must admit. I think he's got one thing that this club truly needs - the admiration of the players. It looks like he's got every one of Boltons players putting in a good shift and working hard. They seem to be enjoying it too.

I still think that Kenny will work some wonders this season, though. I think he'll be a hard man to replace and the only reason we'll be looking for a manager is if he doesn't want the job full-time (which I doubt).

Does anyone know what Kenny thinks of Honda?, was he one of Comollis, Roys or Kennys picks? (Ed?) - he's the player I'd most like to see come to Anfield this January (Gervinho would also be brilliant).

Parma Violet.

{Editor's Note: Interest in Honda certainly predates Comolli and I agree that Gervinho would be a great addition.}

Is this a man who says "because I say it, it must be true!"
I read The Sun mate and I also read The Telegraph, New Scientist and The Spectator.
I read The Sun because it's light to read, has good football coverage and it's different from the other media I read.
I object to being called a person with an IQ of a four year old by some retard who wears tracksuit bottoms, eats chips and drives a Mondeo!

I think the performaces so far this season, and for the secod half of last season, have proved that the squad of players are simply not good enough and, the few 'world class' players we have are, on the whole either under-performing or simply do not care !

Torres need to be sold, before his incredible sulk impression and his lack of fight brings some of the younger players down with him - Yes, on his day, he is truly a world beater, but we cannot afford to carry him for the 20 or 30 or so games a season where he quite obviously is not bothered, so long as he gets paid.

Gerrard needs to remember he is getting on a bit and develop his game accordingly - remember what Roy Keane did at the scum? Went from being a true box to box player to one of the best defensive ball winning midfielders of all time - Add to this Gerrards eye for a pass, and our defensive midfield problem is sorted.

Carra - love him, but obviously too slow for todays game - coaching role calling him surely !

Other players, who we seem to cling onto the hope they will suddenly become good, have either had their chance, are over-rated or have we (or other clubs) have already seen their best - The likes of Joe Cole, Babel, Maxi, Konchesky, Aurelio, Kuyt, Johnson and Poulson (sure there are more !) would not get into any of the top European teams on a regular basis, yet we seem to play them and expect results !

The whole player staff needs a complete overhaul 0 If I had my may all 'first teamers', with the exception of:Reina, Agger, Gerrard, Lucas and Miereles would be in their way, replaced by a couple of signings and, more importantly, our youth - Players who still have a point to prove and the heart to do it.

We do not need superstar signings, coming to us for the money - we need players who have proved, week in week out, they have the heart and ability to play in what is a uniquely tough Premiership - the likes of Adams, Barry, Alonso, Huddleston, Lescott, Shawcross, Bent, Crouch etc, who will give 110% every game

Mix them in with the youth, Wilson, Suso, Shelvey, Pacheco, Amoo etc, and we not only have a solid backbone, but flair, pace and a little bit of the unknown! - Then, give them time to gel and support them !

Please stop believing one or two top signings will change things - too many players have given up on the club and are far too happy to sit back and draw their salaries (paid for by you and I - the fans).

KK has already proved (and been quoted as saying) there is no overnight fix, and we should all be ashamed of ourselves for hounding put Hodgson and blaming him for the players lack of ambition and overall quality - Against Chelsea, they proved they can do it, so why not the following game? with exactly the same players and set up !

Mr Editor - please post this on the main page, as I would like to see the views of the real fans

There are two things missing from the Liverpool team, creativity and passion. Its not hard to pass a football about a pitch, but without either of the these attributes Liverpool won't be able to compete. I know it will take time, and I fully support King Kenny. . but i can't see the current squad competing at the highest level despite most the squad being full Internationals. The creativity of recent past players such as Alonso, Mascherano and Garcia (even Pennant to some extent) and the passion of players such as Hamann, Biscan and Smicer havent been replaced! Since our glorious win in Instanbul, the passion has wittered down Gerrard and Carra. The creativity is more or less down to Gerrard and there is only so much one man can despite his ability to act as 2/ 3 people on the pitch. What happened to having a solid and strong defensive midfielder, replacing the likes of Sissoko, Alonso, Mascherano, Biscan with Lucas and Poulsen, who together provide very little. You may not all agree with any of this. . but Benitez, slowly removed the heart and sole of the team and left us with just a backbone. Now Kenny has a mountain to climb with a team of squad players.
Its great to see NESV willing to invest in the club, but with investment in just talented young players, Liverpool will move nowhere fast. Without investment in current world class players and in form players it will be 2 years before another real title challenge is possible.

Big rant over.

As for transfers. You tell me ed. no one knows. I would take Alonso back in a heart beat. He still loves the club.
Some Spanish speaking players for Torres to talk to, i think he is homesick. Camacho (DM), Mata(ST/ LW/ RW), Alonso (DM) and Aguero (ST). £60 million investment. Champions next year.
Others - Nilmar - ST (Villareal) Pedro - ST/ LW (Barcelona) Veloso - DM (Genoa)

All bar Alonso come into the transfer policy of NESV too.

Feel free to rant back.

Look as of now in are current league position we are not going to be attracting players like suarez and Lukaku end of story so wee need to one again get ourselfs back amongst the top 4-7 teams in the country a ouple of players I would like us to sign this window are Larsson from Birmingham apparently available for as little as 5 million. warnock Yes he is ageing a bit but we have two great young left backs in robinson and mavinga so surely he an do a decent job for a couple of seasons and steady the ship there would cost around 7 million and I would also like to see us try and sign both morten-gamst pederson and bafetimbi Gomis from lyon for 6million and 10 million respectively. with the recent form of kelly ship johnson out for 18 million giving you a net spend of 11 million and a starting 11 much better than it currently is? By the way why do people dis like spearing! I think he is incredibly underrated and comfortably better than lucas poulsen and merieles !

"My source is: The Daily Mail

Hmm, that so-called newspaper isn't good enough for my budgie to c*rp on but there might be some truth in this, after all anyone can weigh up a bid."

"That's what you get for reading 'The S*n.'"

It's interesting the vitriol and bile directed towards newspapers.
Most of our information still comes from this branch of the media and the journalists who write for these papers are on talkSPORT, BBC and SKY as well!

All this talk about The S*n bemuses me. Hillsborough was a long time ago and I'm 23 and not really affected by it. I think I probably agree with Steve Parker that we need to move on. We should all do that to some extent in our lives. I can understand why some people are upset by all this talk, but life goes on guys. Maybe it's my age, but my generation just gets on with things and ignores stuff that doesn't interest or bother us. Think was what Steve Parker was trying to say? So I spose I agree with that bit. It's a bit like eating cabbage. Eat if it you like it, don't if you don't, but don't pressure people not to eat it and stop talking about it.

Can I just say that, yes, I too am gutted about the result last night, but that's all I am gutted about. If you forget about names of the two clubs and watch the game again you can see that you would be watching a team at the very top of the 'confidence league' (Blackpool) against a team at the bottom (Liverpool).

And that's all the issue is, confidence. In some cases, even arrogance. A player with self belief can make the right pass without even taking a second though whether it be 4 yards or 40, whereas a player who has no self belief hesitates and can either under or over-hit a simple pass. Remember the old adage - a chain is only as strong as its weakest link? That's where we are at the moment, we have weak links.

Kenny has said about confidence in his press conference and I for one believe in him. His philosophy on the game means that, given time, we can start to be entertained again and have that belief that we can create chances and start to play teams off the pitch again.

As for the view of "we shouldn't lose to Blackpool" I disagree wholeheartedly. Why not? The way they played should be respected and enjoyed because that's the way we will play under Kenny. Their movement off the ball was at times, undefendable because they were pulling defenders all over the place.

"Football is the simplest of games, which is over-complicated by idiots"

For my unimportant view? Most our weaklinks are technically not up to it, players like;

Poulsen
(one paced, negative player in possession)

Lucas
(too lightweight for a holding mid, cannot dictate the pace of a game like a middle man should)

Ngog
(raw, but not much end product, not a natural finisher that we are crying out for)

Kuyt
(I have genuinely never seen a player give more balls away to the opposition, most moves break down when Kuyt is in position - poor technically)

Johnson
(mood player, tries to beat a player when he should pass and vice versa - simply cannot defend)

Jovanovic
(has no creativity to beat a player, if a player marking him has pace then we are more or less down to ten men)

The aboves are negatives, but the only negatives for me about the club at the moment because with Kenny and the new owners we will get there and be a force again, with belief.

If we do replace Kenny at the end of the season then let's replace him with a man of a similar ethos and personality - have you seen a Liverpool manager of recent times that can handle the press like KK? Belief at this level will breed belief throughout the club - it's contagious.

How nice was it to see us attack and be adventurous? Be honest. OK, we're not the finished article just yet but we have to start somewhere, don't we?

I'm excited because Liverpool are on the way back to becoming Liverpool again and being known for playing some of the best football in the league! ! !

Peace

I know he's probably still got a little bit to learn, but the only way he will learn is by throwing him in the deep end, then watch the boy Shine! Great site EDs, first time poster long time reader.

It pains me to say but Kenny is right its going to be one hell of a challange to achieve the success we as supporters crave in the short term. We have lost to many top quality players and replaced them with best average footballers.As an example, Hypia(Kyriarkos), Risse (Konchesky) Arbeloa (Johnson), Alonso ( Poulson), Garcia (Cole). I know players that are here now are not direct replacements but the squads quality has sadly deminished. We do not have enough quality in depthand I would be absolutley amazed if the new owners don't back Kenny with squad investment this month. We must buy real quality though. Players that will go directly into the 1st team and make an impact. Yes of course it will be difficult in this window and we may have to pay a bit over the odds. If we don't then never mind Europe are Premiership survival may be a factor. Losing becomes a bad habbit, confidence can sink to an all time low and average players become even poorer. Im not sanctioning a panic buy because we have looked at hundreds of players recently and their are some quality players available to buy. Kenny must be backed now or the job next season for Kenny or whoever else will be a mamouth task. We have some real world class players here but not enough quality around them. I think Honda is a done deal (just a gut feeling) but we need more of this ilk. What do you think ED surely as good business men the owners must know and are being advised to spend NOW.

Liverpool are weighing up an opening bid for Ajax striker Luis Suarez.
The Uruguay international, 23, is rated at an optimistic £28million by Ajax but they are short of funds and realistically offers around £15million could clinch a deal.

My source is: The Daily Mail

Hmm, that so-called newspaper isn't good enough for my budgie to c*rp on but there might be some truth in this, after all anyone can weigh up a bid. Doesn't mean it will happen. But I really think £15M for Suarez would be great business for us right now. Things have gone beyond the point of worrying about his personality - he's effective and that's what matters. The team desperately needs a boost and he's the only striker around who's available and would have the kind of impact we need.

what does it take for lfc to buy some damn players? ?

im not worried about the club in terms of attracting players. look at juventus when they went down. .they stil had del piero and buffon and now they r bakc at the top. same as ac milan. .they had so many points deducted. .not getting in the champions league for a while. .and then what about R madrid. .they werent winning anything they had top attackers. .but remember their poor defence. this was even before we hammered them at anfield. .
but they all have top players now.

"That what reading the S*n does, makes you think Liverpool is a small club, makes you become really pessimistic & start to doubt a Liverpool legend after only three days in charge.
As for 45+ years support home & away, well I suppose you were at Hillsborough then? When we (LFC fans I mean) were blamed for unspeakable acts that I care not to repeat?
Just because you can get your head around reading that crap, doesn't mean you should defend it on the LFC pages."

1. Never said LFC was a small club - read the words.
2. Not pessimistic, just taking a realistic and cold view of the issues.

Liverpool are ready to bid for suarez accoring to the papers 15m would probably be enough to clinch the deal and tottenham back room staff think suarez isn't the right player they need to strengthen their front line good news for us.

Eljero Ellia has gone quite last few days until the club annouced the would accept 12.5m for him as he has fell out with manager this isn't a huge amount of money in football these days hes quick , skillfull , brilliant dribler and can chip in with a few goals just what we need.

Roberto martinez has said a player will be leaving wigan , wondering if its the unsettled charles nzogbia , we could do with a good left footer in out team who also has pace dribling ability and has premier league experience im sure everyone would agree he is better than konk , jova , and aurelio.

Conor Wickham and Alex Chamberlin are player we are also looking to sign to strentghn are attack both young and english with lots of potential just what we need.

no real sign on a left back though , but i personally think that drenthe , conetrao , or martin olsson would be great signings if we could do a deal for any of these.

Wa you think of these storys ed ?

{Editor's Note: A bid for Suarez will bring others out of the woodwork who also want to bid; Elia - wishful thinking on the valuation - I think that Liverpool may be interested; N'Zogbia's benefit is that he can play anywhere on the left - I am not convinced by the player though; the kids are really for the future and would not fix anything right now.}

Possibly at the expense of losing KK can only assess players during matches. Hence poulson, Milan etc playing nearly 90mins test. I'm sure those two will be gone in this transfer window? Or deffo summer.

Training sessions do not really give a good opinion of a player. I could be wrong but?

Your thoughts gentlemen.

KK has seen enough games this season to form the same opinions of Poulsen and Jovanovic as the rest of us. It is a bit worrying that he still picked them although he probably thought the team he selected would be good enough to beat Blackpool.
There will be 4 or 5 changes for the derby with Aurelio, Cole, and Maxi coming back and hopefully Johnson or Babel on the right wing.

Ed (or anyone who knows something about this other than the obvious), What do you think the chances of getting Adam Johnson are?

He said he was unhappy at being on the bench at city (I know he then apologised but city probably told him to do that).

He would be top of my list of signings, a proven prem player who can hit the ground running and won't cost a fortune or bring another massive ego / bad attitude to the dressing room

{Editor's Note: It would requirte the club to want hime and a bid to be made before finding out if City want to sell him and the player wants to move. At present, I would suggest it is unlikely.}

Possibly at the expense of losing KK can only assess players during matches. Hence poulson, Milan etc playing nearly 90mins test. I'm sure those two will be gone in this transfer window? Or deffo summer.

Training sessions do not really give a good opinion of a player. I could be wrong but?

Your thoughts gentlemen.

Lee73

KK has seen enough games this season to form the same opinions of Poulsen and Jovanovic as the rest of us. It is a bit worrying that he still picked them although he probably thought the team he selected would be good enough to beat Blackpool.
There will be 4 or 5 changes for the derby with Aurelio, Cole, and Maxi coming back and hopefully Johnson or Babel on the right wing.

There is an endless cry for new players to be brought in and this is somewhat understandable but we should only sign players if they can bring the quality we need. What we need more than anything is confidence. We don't have a fantastic squad but it is nowhere near as bad as our form suggests. They say the league doesn't lie and come the end of the season this will be true, but right now we just need to get settled into kenny's way of playing. This will be difficult for a group that has spent the past 5 years playin cautious football. But it should be a joy to train now, knowing that the emphasis will be on a style of football that is not only good but was the foundation on which the clubs success was built. We need a solid formation to be set so that any player knows his role and the role of his team mates. Then we look at bringing in players who can improve us. Obviously there are areas which are already crying out for improvement. Width being the key one. Im certain dalglish and the club are aware of this and will do something about it. I'm not saying we are too good to go down. Nobody is! But I firmly believe we will be ok. Come the start of next season I am confident we will all have much more optimism for the club.

Ok we lost to a well organised, full of self belief blackpool side, and they don't have any real major, shall we say big named high earning players! but should we mock our sid because of this? NO, all our players could do well to learn the main fundamentals of the way blackpool play, commitment, self belief, and as a team!
this is where kenny comes in to the equation, he will strive to gather the best 11 players to field as the first team ( with subs in mind), get them to play in the best formation, and then rectify the biggest problem this season, and i refer to earlier in this post, try to give us what blackpool have, play with commitment, self belief and as a bloody team.
yes it will be great to get new players, but, not any amount of money will cure our key problems in the team, these can only be put right by a truly great man manager, with time and patience , and kenny will do this but only with our support!

Chelsea are also interested in Sanchez, who was recently described by his agent as the "new Cristiano Ronaldo".

Carlo Ancelotti has not made an offer yet, but once he convinces Roman Abramovich to make allowances he will offer €22m (£18.3m) to out-muscle Inter.18.3m why don't we bid for him his class

I am from belgium and a Lfc fan. Lukaku is a good player. But he is not ready for the premier league. He is fast and strong. But his acceleration is not good @ all. And 20 mil pounds is 2 much. other thing is that he is a big chelseafan. If I was kenny I would go for suarez. He creates chances and scores goals.

Some of you are talking about hazard (best player of belgium). It will not happen he's arsenalfan.

I am so glad defour is injured all the time. he is overrated

Liverpool needs a leftback they should go for Tchimanga from lokeren. He's better dan konchesky and aurelio.

plz go
out: poulsen, leiva, jova (good enough for belgium)

Guys, first time poster after reading the site for several months now. Kenny is not a miracle worker but the team did look better after a few days with him and clarke than they did under Roy. yes i was surprised with the team he picked but in part it just shows how weak the squad is. the guys he brought into the first team last night just showed, when they have an excellent oppurtunity to impress, they arent good enough.

with regard to NESV - they are still in early days so some saying they have underdelivered is ridiculous. I imagine they are working there socks off to get new players into the squad but its a lengthy process. we really need 3 first team quality players this january and then an additional 5 in the summer. this is not a small task but one which they need the time to get right.

I also think Charlie Adam is worth a punt if we can get him for less than 5 million. he looks decent and is better than what we have at the moment in central midfied and i doubt his wages would be an issue. .

My mates gave me a right ear bashing when i said torres should be sold, in the summer before LAST season. i said, what good is a player earning 100k per week, sitting on the bench? with the cash we could have got for him then, we'd have been able to buy 2 20m strikers and h&g could have still had change for their pockets. i was laughed at by a lot of people for suggesting this. 1 1/ 2 seasons later, hes still as unmotivated, left stranded up the pitch on his own, everyone expecting magic. its just not working out, if he gets back in form, how long until hes out injured? only problem with selling him now is we won't get anything near what we would've 2 seasons ago. if he goes in the summer he will maybe go for around 25m, about what we paid. only thing is the club have paid his massive wages for nearly 4 years while hes only really worked for about 2 due to injuries, so were making around 5m/ 6m loss on him

I think you are living in some sort of parallel universe if you seriously believe that H&G would have used any money from a Torres sale to do anything other than line their pockets.

Liverpool Rumours
Hi Ive been a long time reader and fan of this site thought I would finally post some views and rumours

I agree with some of the comments on here regarding Charlie Adam not being good enough for Liverpool what is worrying though is that he owned Lucas, Meireles and Poulson last night and as a squad player for 3-4 million I think the guy might be worth a shot he showed real commitment and class last night sadly more than can be said for our boys in that middle 3.

If KK is going to use the current system 4141 then we surely have to be in the market for a defensive mid Lucas doesn't suit the role and Poulson is clearly not good enough. Scott Parker would be my choice but he doesn't look like a Comolli type signing so expect interest in Mvilla or maybe Defour

LB is clearly another issue Id love to see interest shown in Fabio Contreo or David Santon although more realistically a possible return for Steven Warnock may steady the ship untill summer, pushing for a Wayne bridge loan deal could have also been a smart move however he clearly doesn't warrent 90 000 a week which we would have to cover. I don't expect this posistion to be looked at untill the summer.

We need a Carra replacement and I think the player who fits the bill is Gary Cahill I think a bid should be made, sadly don't expect any movement on that fron untill the summer as we allready have Carra, Agger, Skrtel, Greek, Wilson, Kelly and potentially Ayala! my concern with that group however is that apart from Carra there is no one who seems capable of leading the line and organising the players around him.

The main problem at Liverpool for years has been the lack of pace, creativity and quality in the wide areas (the aspects Liverpools success was built on for years!) I fully expect to see moves to resolve this in this window. Elia would be a good move and I think a bid will be made, he has been described on here as a rough diamond but I think the same could be said of Ronaldo and Nani when they arrived at Utd! Mark Albrighton has a massive future and I think with the posistion Villa are currently the fact Gerrard is there as manager this could be a realistic transfer target, the oppourtunity of developing under KK and Steve Clarke might also be enough to interest the lad. Niko Krancjer is le=acking oppourtunities at Spurs and could be a good addition, however Harry is not stupid and would be aware of how Liverpool have enough quality to put a run together and be a potential threat to his side hindering any potential for that move. Eden Hazard is a player who could light this league up the potential of a move to Liverpool would surely interest the lad although he must be aware that champions league clubs are also interested in him, to secure this guy a bid would have to be made in January. Keisuke Honda has been touted as a Liverpool player comercially the lad would be an excellent buy however could a fully fit and on form Joe cole be just as effective in a similar role?

to many forwards have been linked assuming we continue with the same system 4141 expect to see a similar player to chamakh at Arsenal maybe Horau? or potentially a workhorse in the Tevez mold Lavezzi impressed against us earlier in the season and there is obviously the talk of Saurez, my concern with the guy will always be his attitude, another potential El Hadj Diouf.

I don't claim to have any inside info, Im just6 a long suffering fan using my common sense and not believing everything i read in the press.

Any thoughts anyone?

Last night was yet another dreadful performence, but one that I think Kenny needed to get out of the way. He gave Jovanovic and Poulsen each a chance and they both failed in amazing fashion. They will never play for the senior squad again unless we can't sell them or (god forbid) we're looking at a long injury list.

My only real concern about last night was the lack of subs used when we clearly needed some fresh legs and new ideas on the pitch. To only replace Poulsen with Jonjo in the 78mn (I think) and leave the rest seemed like utter madness.

Anyway Henry had better have his head right and try to get some new blood in. Last night was a wake up call that they will need to spend this January.

Eljero Elia
Gervinho
Luis Suarez
Shawcross (need someone else in DC)

Last night I thought the team was wrong but I thought the tactics were right. Alot more attacking, we just let down by some bad players last night. Kuyt was absloutley dreadfull last night. Jovanovic was poor as well althought e hasnt played allot this year so tha may be to blame a little, trouble is playing like that you arent going to get given many chances. The phrase you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink, springs to mind. Players are now playing for a place at the club and have to start trying harder, like Torres did last night. His touch last night was best i have seen it all season. I agree it was right of kenny to try players out for himself. I would personally now play Kelly at right back, johnson right mid and aurelio when fit at left back. Shelvey is getting a run in the side under Kenny, I know it was Kenny that signed him so he clearly rates him as do I. I know hes had a couple of bad games and probably not up to spec yet but hes 18 and I think if he was introduced to the right side (i.e not one struggling for form) he would do well. Thats how youngsters used to be introduced under kenny last time around. Unfortunatley Kenny hasn't picked this squad and they are below standard. Its more than a joke that we havent had an out and out winger for about 5 years now. Im not counting mark gonzalas (spelling) because he wasn't exactly great in the prem. Traditionally when liverpool win things they have done it with pace& skill on the wings, I think allot of managers make football to complicated now IMO. I hope Kenny starts off where he left off and gets us winning. I am not worried about his rep cos I don't blame him for our current squad and I don't think it would look like this if he had picked it. Kenny took Blackburn to the prem title, and when he took them over they were far from winning it, He has an eye for talant cos he knows how to play football in his head, not alot of players can tell you how to play. if you asked Robbie to tell you how to score goals, he wouldn't be able to, you ask him to do it its a different story. John Barnes won't make a great manager because no one taught him to play football, he just did it, he won't be able to explain to you how he does it. The difference with KK is that he can comunicate, what he knows, to players. I heard a rumour that allot of the big name playrs were unhappy with the KK appiontment and that unless a big name manager comes in thhey will be off in the summer. Personally if Kenny does well and gets us playing then them big names will change there mind and enjoy playing for him and if he dosent succed then its only a temp placement anyway because there was no one else out there to take the job on and NESV will replace him at the end of the season. From that aspect, as long as they have a good replacement in mind then I think its a win win. To help kK out they do need to add a striker and winger now though.

Watching liverpoo at blackpool last night seems there are to many individuals and not playing as a team we look frightened , ian halloway should get manger of the year as blackpool have been fantastic and a breath of fresh air in the premiership, liverpool should ofload kuyt , poulsen , lucas given two many chances, konchesky, the serbian and the greek, nogood and babel failed to live up to promise kenny needs to bring in a least one winger , centre back and left back also a striker for torres aslo start bringing the kids through as watching the crystal palce game we have quite a few who look very promising sosa being the most stand out one.

i think 3 players to get us into top 10 and then in summer a nother 2 or 3 players could get us back in champs league, and forget about the former chelsea manager if kenny does a good job give it to him

Ref - Steve Parker POST - We are not a big club

STEVE PARKER IS WRONG

Steve - appreciate the detail, thought, constructive argument you make regarding our plight and the gloom surrounding LFC, I would like to take this opportunity to rebuff this.

We live in a world of instant fame, success and fortune - at least for the media to keep themselves in business, make a story, make a person, build them up, sell copy then bring them back down, the X Factor world of that muppet Simon Cowell etc. . This now is what football has become and LFC is part of that, however just because we have not won the title since 1990 does not make us a smaller or lessor club - not in the slightest - this is a proud heritage, there is a mural in Belfast - he who fails to learn from his past is bound to fail - this is what has what has went wrong at LFC - the fans are still there, Anfield is still there - but we have forgotten what made us great!

Please stay with me here and look down the East Lancs Road to the ENEMY - they did not win the title from 1967 to 1993 - they went down in between - yes they won the off FA Cup in between but they went far lower than we have ever went and look at where they are - did anyone say they were an average club - no they did not! And we are multiples of the club MUFC has been or ever will be at least 3 European Cups better to start with :)

The club has been mismanaged - we almost got it right under Roy Evans (money being the problem - too much) and while we have had WONDERFUL moments under Houllier and Benitez it never clicked and we got further away from the Liverpool of old - pass and move, simple free flowing football with a grit and desire to please the fans and win games.

I believe we have the right owners, we have the right manager (would still like to see Sammy Lee replaced - and as you can tell someone like Roy Evans back in) and with some notable exceptions a squad of players who should be in the top 5 of the EPL. Many are internationals and many played in the World Cup - why can they not play together wearing the liver bird and red of LFC - the way they were over coached and made like robots programmed with no ability to express themselves. Give the majority of them some belief, freedom of expression and value of the heritage and they will help put us back at the top.

We are LFC, we are the biggest and the best and we can still attract players, and people still know what Kenny Daglish did and who he is - he encompasses everything good and great about our football club.

It's always darkest before the dawn. .

Last nights game was , as Kenny said, not all doom and gloom. There was better movement off the ball and upto the final third of the pitch we passed the ball well.

Apart from 2 woeful pieces of defending from which they scored, we should have looked to wide positions in the final third, too often we tried to go through the middle. Couple of times we just hoofed the ball out of our box - anywhere will do tactics instead of trying to pass our way out. This team needs a bit more pace - 2 wingers as we have all been saying and we will start to win away from Anfield. I'm not too dispondant, been a season ticket holder for 30 years, so I reckon I've seen enough to pass comment, We'll be ok. a run of 6 or 7 wins isn't too far away guys. . . wait and see !

"The Madness of King Roy XVII"

Well it didn't take long for the knockers to get started!
It was only a matter of time before they started laying into Kenny Dalglish (KK) and saying they are unhappy. What was it someone said earlier? "We would be unhappy if Roy had picked that side!"
What did he and his mates in JJB tracksuit bottoms want?

I said in a couple of TMOKR postings a week or so ago that I didn't want KK back to damage his reputation. This is what I was concerned about. He is NOT a miracle worker. Things take a long time to put right and yet I knew some fans would have a go as soon as two games were past.

We are NOT a massive club as someone said this morning. I refer to my constant references to us as "an average club with a massive history." We are not attractive to players in Europe as we have no hope of CL next year; we are mired in a relegation battle and we do not have a quota of powerful players to attract new ones. We will not get Lukaka nor Hazard for those reasons and more.

Don't want to hear that we are 'too good to go down' or that 'we will soon start winning games.' We can't beat Blackpool and Everton lie in wait. There is no confidence from my side that we will start winning soon. We are fooling ourselves if we believe we will finish higher than 12th this year. Blind devotion is only as good as the hope in your heart!

Too many people banging on about knowing more about who we are signing than the people who work in the club. Get real guys! The less we say, the more chance of getting the players we want at the prices we can afford. I am staggered at how fans think they have an intrinsic right to know EVERYTHING that happens inside a club. Our job is to pay the money to get in, buy the merchandise and support the team. Don't push it and think your devotion allows you to dictate policy and run the business! I'm leaving that to the people who paid cash for the club, who are employed by the owners and are working on our behalf . . behind the scenes.

We are long, long work in progress and KK will be back in the stands next year. My view is that despite our devotion to him, some of the players do not see KK in the same way we do. He has galvanised the fans, but maybe players like Babel, Torres, Lucas or Ngog see him as an old man coming back. Yes, he was a great player once and good manager, but he is history to people in their early 20s who see 30 year olds as old! We should not think he is such a galvanising force that all the players will rally to his cause.

As I write these missives I more and more think we see ourselves as a club that isn't: a club that isn't anywhere near where we used to be. And that is the real problem for many fans. I accept we still want to see ourselves as huge, appealing and attractive to new players, but we are not. Here is where KK's reputation among older agents, club chairmen and old players may help, coupled with Comoli's acumen and contacts.

Finally, to the few who have abused and threatened me about my reading of "The S*n" - I continue to be a diehard supporter of LFC, 45+ years of support home and way, and will continue to believe we need to move on and with a nod to the 96, forget the boycott. Threatening people and abusing them because they believe in something else and don't conform to your way of life . . . . isn't that something we have been accussing fanatics of for the past few years?

Steve Parker

That what reading the S*n does, makes you think Liverpool is a small club, makes you become really pessimistic & start to doubt a Liverpool legend after only three days in charge.
As for 45+ years support home & away, well I suppose you were at Hillsborough then? When we (LFC fans I mean) were blamed for unspeakable acts that I care not to repeat?
Just because you can get your head around reading that crap, doesn't mean you should defend it on the LFC pages.

After last nights performance I would rather Liverpool snapped up Charlie Adam for 3-4 million and play him instead of Lucas or Poulsen both are not worthy if pulling on a Liverpool shirt, they are awful! The defending last night was woeful and a new centre back and left back are a must Conceoa and Shawcross? What about Lyon's Michel Bastos on left midfield? We have no creativity in midfield and constantly give the ball away cheaply! The owners now need to realise we are in danger of missing out on Europe unless drastic action this month in the transfer market

Reina - excellent as always, although his kicking is becoming a slight worry.

kelly - average, not as good going forward as iv seen.

agger - woefull game, no-where to be seen for both goals.

skrtel - same as agger.

johnson - not convincing, but understandable because he was out of position.

poulsen - pfft

meireles - another bad game, too many recently.

lucas - average

kuyt - slows down attacks, hes not a good player for counter attacking. bad game.

jovanovic - let me down, i expected him to grab his chance by the scruff.

torres - great goal, but after that he didn't do much.

agree?

ed can u tell me why babel and aurelio wer missing?

Lets make this clear - LFC are in a relegation battle - 4 points of 3rd bottom - 19 points of the top.

We need: Suarez, Honda & Elia NOW

Get rid of: Poulsen, Konchesky, Jovanovic & The Greek NOW

No point in looking at youngsters for the future in the January transfer window. If nothing is done NOW, LFC's future could be in the Championship.

If NESV do this NOW we just might start winning, climb the table and most importantly keep Torres and Reina at Anfield.

Lets face it, if Kenny can't improve the current carp sorry, I mean corp, then no-one can.

We need 3 top class quality attacking players NOW.

Please, please, please NESV, protect your investment, do the right thing and return LFC to their rightful place - in the Champions League, Fighting for the Premiership and attracting the best players in the world.

Morning Ed,

Quick one.
Can you really see any top players wanting to come to us right now? I know we have a great history and we are a massive club, but we are awful lying 13th in the league and will most likely finish outside of a Europa League spot.

Its hard enough getting players in, never mind when ur in a position like us. What do u think? ?

Cheers,
Rez

{editor: I am not sure. We do not look a very attractive proposition at the moment and we shouldn't hide from that. I think the pull of Kenny Dalglish and the history and traditions should be enough to get 1 or 2 players in though.}

Ed I think it is time to stop living in the past and we should get players who are going to get us out of this mess. It is evident that "top" players are not the be all and end all, we have 3 or 4 "top" players and we are where we are. The problem is that too many of these players are just here to pick up a good wage, and not play for that historic red shirt. i think it is time to give Kelly, Wilson, Jono and Pacheco a good run out. They want to play first team football and if they get it I am sure they will put everything thet have in it to stay in the first team.

Doesn't matter if you rave on about Lucus the fact remains we havnt had a good midfielder since Alonso and Macherano. Our midfield is weak and that's costing us severe. Our defence was unorganised under Hodgson and the fact we played Zonal marking for all them years, man marking became hard to adapt.

SF-Gerrard
F-Torres

Bench:Jones, Kyrgiakos, Konchesky, Cole, Poulsen, Jovanovic

Looking at the above, is it really any wonder that Nando and Pepe are so "not so happy"?
Christ, they once entered the battlefields with regal and commanding Xabi Alonso and Javier Mascherano;the not so spectacular but immense and ever reliable Alvaro Arbeloa and Sami Hypia (at times, yes), and the creative juices of Albert Riera and Yossi Benayoun.

Now they've got to have their backs had by the useless Sotirios Kygriakos, Joe Cole, Christian Poulsen;the franky average Maximilliano Rodriguez, Lucas Leiva;the unreliable Glen Johnson, and the utterly brainless twittergob Ryan Babel.
How depressing and demoralizing that must be.

Granted, Riera, Arbelao, Benayoun and Hypia weren't that world class, but they could do the job.They could trap the flipping ball, beat a man, put a cross, or pick a pass and/ score.They could defend, and you could trust them with your life.Bar Carra and the inexperienced young Kelly, show me one "defender" in that team who can actually defend.Bugger all.

Agger is average at defending, but he's an excellent ball-playing "defender"
Those players coupled with Alonso and Mascherano are a millions times better than anything we've got right now.
People keep saying

Mascherano was never that good cause he was never good with the ball.
Well, he didn't need to.The immense Alonso more than compensated for that.
Masch only had to win the ball and lay it off to Xabi.That he did, and guess what?Opposition teams got battered, f* *in butchered.Goals were scored, matches were won, and everybody was happy.
Two specialist midfield colossuses each executing their functions so devastatingly it was unbelievable.

I'd have Masch and Alonso all day than this Lucas-Meireles combo (tho I rate Raul very highly.He'll be immense for us with even better players round him).

May I also refute the notion that we "don't need to buy another cb".As I've already said, none of our backline- bar Carra- can classed very good defenders.
Agger's fairly decent, defensively, but only on the proviso that a Vidic-ilk quality partner is brought for him.A player with positional sense, aeriel
dominance, good tackling and commands his area.
As good as he is offensively, his chief remit is defending.
Soto and Skrtel, simply mediocre. .rubbish.

So get Agger a class partner, and make Ayala and Wilson 3rd and 4th choice.Kelly can do it at rb.
Get Cissokho and bring back Mavinga, who'll be 2nd choice.

Imo, anyone who thinks we "don't need a new centre back" is FOOLING himself.None of Kyrgiakos, Skrtel, Agger are exceptional defenders.Carra's past his sell-by date, tho he can do a job there and there.Ayala and Wilson aren't ready to be thrust in as regulars.

In conclusion, I think we need as many as 8-9 new players between now and the corresponding time in 2012 to really haul ourselves back into the big time.

E.g,
Now:Gervihno, Griezmann, Hulk
Summer:Adam Johnson, David Luiz, Cissokho, M'Villa, Marveaux
January:Kjaer

Both our XI and bench are immediately strengthened.This, btwis just an EXAMPLE.Not a wishlist or anything.
What do you think, ed?How many players do ya reckon we'll need to completely be back at top.I know you're for youth, but do consider that many might not make the grade.

I agree with your take on the game the players had but Meirleis didn't play on the right he played in a 3 man center field. kuyt and milan were on the wings,
Imo milan and poulsen played because Kenny was giving them there chance to impress him. which they didn't. remember people John Henry said they will invest but it will be the last 2 weeks of January so keep the faith and get Championship out of your head because we ain't heading there. .
have you heard anything concrete on transfer targets ED?

Agree completely with this.

Jovanovic and Poulsen both deserved one last chance to impress. Both failed. Jovanovic did a lot of running but clearly isn't good enough.

I think Kenny's post match interview was great. He's clearly going the right way about motivating the players.

"The Madness of King Roy XVII"

Well it didn't take long for the knockers to get started!
It was only a matter of time before they started laying into Kenny Dalglish (KK) and saying they are unhappy. What was it someone said earlier? "We would be unhappy if Roy had picked that side!"
What did he and his mates in JJB tracksuit bottoms want?

I said in a couple of TMOKR postings a week or so ago that I didn't want KK back to damage his reputation. This is what I was concerned about. He is NOT a miracle worker. Things take a long time to put right and yet I knew some fans would have a go as soon as two games were past.

We are NOT a massive club as someone said this morning. I refer to my constant references to us as "an average club with a massive history." We are not attractive to players in Europe as we have no hope of CL next year; we are mired in a relegation battle and we do not have a quota of powerful players to attract new ones. We will not get Lukaka nor Hazard for those reasons and more.

Don't want to hear that we are 'too good to go down' or that 'we will soon start winning games.' We can't beat Blackpool and Everton lie in wait. There is no confidence from my side that we will start winning soon. We are fooling ourselves if we believe we will finish higher than 12th this year. Blind devotion is only as good as the hope in your heart!

Too many people banging on about knowing more about who we are signing than the people who work in the club. Get real guys! The less we say, the more chance of getting the players we want at the prices we can afford. I am staggered at how fans think they have an intrinsic right to know EVERYTHING that happens inside a club. Our job is to pay the money to get in, buy the merchandise and support the team. Don't push it and think your devotion allows you to dictate policy and run the business! I'm leaving that to the people who paid cash for the club, who are employed by the owners and are working on our behalf . . behind the scenes.

We are long, long work in progress and KK will be back in the stands next year. My view is that despite our devotion to him, some of the players do not see KK in the same way we do. He has galvanised the fans, but maybe players like Babel, Torres, Lucas or Ngog see him as an old man coming back. Yes, he was a great player once and good manager, but he is history to people in their early 20s who see 30 year olds as old! We should not think he is such a galvanising force that all the players will rally to his cause.

As I write these missives I more and more think we see ourselves as a club that isn't: a club that isn't anywhere near where we used to be. And that is the real problem for many fans. I accept we still want to see ourselves as huge, appealing and attractive to new players, but we are not. Here is where KK's reputation among older agents, club chairmen and old players may help, coupled with Comoli's acumen and contacts.

Finally, to the few who have abused and threatened me about my reading of "The Sun" - I continue to be a diehard supporter of LFC, 45+ years of support home and way, and will continue to believe we need to move on and with a nod to the 96, forget the boycott. Threatening people and abusing them because they believe in something else and don't conform to your way of life . . . . isn't that something we have been accussing fanatical Muslims of for the past few years?

Yes we lost last, but at least we are starting to create more chances, defence again a problem, and desperatly need wingers, a strange team selection, but without, Gerrard, Cole, Babel, Carragher is always going to be tough, I think we should start to play Wilson a little more, and what about Babel on the RW, I remember changed the game last year against Wham

I would like to see the following on Sunday

REINA
Kelly Agger Wilson Aurelio


Babel / Mireles Cole Jovanovic
Johnson
Torres & Pacheco

Rome wasnt build in a day need to give Kenny a little time, im sure with a few buys we can turn this around and even win the Europa League

Well the doom and gloom has come back and the romance looks almost dead. .

What were we honestly expecting? KD had 1 training session with the lads, did we really expect us to be playing like Barcelona after it? It won't happen over night!

Last nights game however did shed some light on our poor season. . Some performance's were not up to scratch in the quality department.

Its clear our left hand side of the field is our weakest and needs improvement as well as a partner for Torres. We shouldn't be jumping on Johnson for last nights performance. . Everyone here wants him played on the right wing, and for good reason! He is quick, skillfull, can go past players and cross a ball. But a left back he will never be. . But give the lad credit, he was asked to do a job and he was no worse than Konchesky has been all season! Jovanovic reminds me of Baros, Lots of effort and running but never gets his head us, can't pass and has no real understanding of the game. Kuyt all effort and no quality. . his first touch has vanished and can't control a ball played to feet with pace. Poulsen wasn't awful, but Adam would be a great replacement. Lucas was everywhere for 60 mins making up for the lack of quality around him. Torres was well, Torres, Showed pace, hunger determination and touch that have been missing all season (btw his hair is growing back) We had Gerrard, Carra, JC and Ryan (Lets all make fun of Webb) Babel all sat in the stands. . Things will get better, just be patient.
The Derby is coming up and we have to stick together. .

The defending last night was woeful and a new centre back and left back are a must Conceoa and Shawcross? What about Lyon's Michel Bastos on left midfield? We have no creativity in midfield and constantly give the ball away cheaply! The owners now need to realise we are in danger of missing out on Europe unless drastic action this month in the transfer market.

Should have been Rafa that came back not Kenny. Under Rafa champions league football year in year out! then one bad season and we throw all away, not just our reputation but also pride and respect, we are the joke of the league. Most say its Rafas fault, but I say its Purslow fault. If rafa got us in this mass it should have been him to get us out. You haters be careful of what you wish for!

To whoever said Lucas was woeful last night - you clearly didn't watch the game!

I watched the whole game and the only thing I can remember him doing was a block tackle which led to a run down the right wing and a cross which was headed clear.

A lot of people keep saying how he has improved yet this season he has made 24 appearances and scored one goal and had one assist. He doesn't protect the defence half as well as Masch did so exactly what is he doing?
If he is now regarded as one of our best players then we will be in a relegation fight!

There seems to be an awful lot of posts stating that LFC are finished and that we will be unable to attract any players in the transfer windows. Really?
Spurs two seasons ago, were in a worse position than we find ourselves in today, but with a good manager and the correct player bought for the correct position, their predicament has been turned on its head.

Realistically we were only ever going to buy a few players in this window, so who ever managed us was going to have to get the best out of the under performing squad he inherited. Who better than the living legend KK. He's only had a few training sessions and one game, and the way the team was set out was indication things will be turned around.
Also, if a player doesn't want to come to us because of our current league position then we are better off without him. We need people who want to be here

Giants never sleep for long. At the start of every season, Liverpool will be amongst the favourites, regardless of where they finished the season before. Don't underestimate the pull of the club. Anfield and the Kop is legendary and the fact that Liverpool is still one the THE names in world football (even after a barren spell in terms of league titles) speaks volumes.
On another point, we can look forward with confidence to the financial fair play rule. Liverpools turnover will dwarf most premier league clubs giving them more power and flexibility in the transfer market. I believe that Arsenal, Manure & Liverpool will be dominant in this regard as Chelsea and Man City won't match their turnover.
That's what history does for you ;-)

I no all rumours are flying about who we are getting Ed, but is there any news on time when we going to look on bringing anyone in? IMO we need a bit of good news for the pitch side of things now.pref before the Darby, we've had the good news about owners a little to late to bring players in. Weve had the change in manager, all be it a little later than needed. And now we need to bring one or two big players in now just to give the club a big lift, owners said they will be doing most of there business in summer, but IMO they need to change them thoughts, as in business. You need to make decisions at the drop of a hat. Now is one of these times we need big player in now to give the squad a big lift. We have the owners/ manager in place now we need the tools to do the job.

If not we will struggle further in the summer. Nando and Reina will leave and they are a big pull also. Its gone on long enough as another poster indicated we have been playing badly for 12 to 18 months now and many fans cannot see a light at the end of the tunnel.

My mates gave me a right ear bashing when i said torres should be sold, in the summer before LAST season. i said, what good is a player earning 100k per week, sitting on the bench? with the cash we could have got for him then, we'd have been able to buy 2 20m strikers and h&g could have still had change for their pockets. i was laughed at by a lot of people for suggesting this. 1 1/ 2 seasons later, hes still as unmotivated, left stranded up the pitch on his own, everyone expecting magic. its just not working out, if he gets back in form, how long until hes out injured? only problem with selling him now is we won't get anything near what we would've 2 seasons ago. if he goes in the summer he will maybe go for around 25m, about what we paid. only thing is the club have paid his massive wages for nearly 4 years while hes only really worked for about 2 due to injuries, so were making around 5m/ 6m loss on him

I hope kenny won't bring Poulsen any closer to first team now. He was as bad as u get. Hope Spearing and Shelvey would get their chances ahead of Poulsen. Your thoughts ed?

{editor: I don't think Spearing will ever be a huge player for us. Shelvey is a better player than Poulsen and I would liked to have seen him start instead yesterday.}

If its confidence and belief that Liverpool are lacking then the only way to revive this team is to field the reserve team in its place. The boys will play their hearts out at the opportuinity. Maybe just throw in Torres and Reina. . . . Liverpool should sell the rest of them with their high wages and get blackpools manager to build a team from scratch in the summer. With him you will get a positive approach to every game, get the best out of whichever players he has. and he will never complain about lack of funds.

Can you really see any top players wanting to come to us right now? I know we have a great history and we are a massive club, but we are awful lying 13th in the league and will most likely finish outside of a Europa League spot.

Its hard enough getting players in, never mind when ur in a position like us. What do u think? ?

Cheers,

If Kenny can persuade 1 or 2 fairly good players to come in sharpish, with the likes of Torres, Gerrard and Reina in our team and 1 or 2 good additions, I see no real problem pulling in top players, although they would have to be at the end of the window so that they could be shown by previous buys, that we have the intent to progress.

I would like a good striker and a couple of wingers (not SWP) and play a defensive 4 in the middle( 2 centre def, 2 def mid) with 2 mid slightly wider and 2 wingbacks providing the width we desperately need.

I think that would suit Johnsons style more, who we could get for the left side I have no idea, and maybe Negredo up front with nando.

I don't know why people are always saying johnson should not wear a liverpool shirt again, In my opinion he would be one of the best wingers in the league with the amount of pace he has and dribbling ability. I don't know how much money we have to spend but surly we would come close to even breaking even if we were able to sell Kuyt, babel, Lucas, Poulson, Skrtel, and bring in Samba(better than skrtel), N'Zogbia (better than Kuyt, and one of the only players in PL to give A Cole problems), Adam (alot better than lucas and poulson) Elia/ adam johnson (better than babbel). And that's only roughly breaking even. Left back a cheeky bid for Tawio around 3 mil would probs secure him. At the end of the day if you want to do well in the premierleague you need quick wingers and that is an area we lack big time, We can't play ball through/ over the left and right back because our wingers just won't get there.

I seem to remember Bayern Munich didn't have a particuluary good season and failed to get into the Champions League but they still signed players inc Arjen Robben and I think Ribery. So I think its a case of money talks and if FSG are will to splash the cash the players will come

For the love of god can we please just sign Suarez, i don't care that he bit another player or pulled off an amazing save in the world cup. Would be interesting to see him in a game against Gyan again, he he. He is the class forward we need.

We need wingers, midfield cover and a quality central and left defender! To save our season we need these changes, costly but add in player sales Poulson, Skrtl, Konch, Kuyt, Johnson and Jova.

Big changes in team, but is that not what we need? Eds? BTW I think Charlie Adam would plug a gap with a view to being a squad player after summer and cheap.

{editor: I think that it shows that without Carragher we are weak at the back. No one organises the back 4 and they all go missing. I think maybe 2 signings in January and 2 in the summer could help us. We can't sign too many players in one transfer window as it would take longer for them to gel. I am a fan of what Charlie Adam is doing this season but I don't know if he will be a one season wonder.}

Hey guys. i am an lfc fan. and seeing us this season does break at times and especially when im defending them against my mates who support other teams.

but i do believe this season. we are the 2nd worst team with westham being the worst.
blackpool are simply a better team than us. .yes we have babel gerard torres reina agger kelly an pacheco. .but the rest are average thanks to rafa
even newcastle have better players. .they have wingers who have pace. .sth we havent had for years. and we got away with it cos we had alonso and mascherano and crouch and we coped.
but every game we have played bar 3 we show we can't pass forward that creates sth. .we hardly worked the keeper last night. .
and KELLY. wsa the only 1 who forward pass was accurate for torres goal. lucas can't do it. mereiles can't and kuyt, jova - no comment. johnson must be sold

wingers -with pace
left back
centre half
forward
centre mid. . this is what we need. its vital cos every team has wingers with pace. a tough tackler in midfield. a tough forard. and atleast 1 solid centre back. .
liverpool fc do not have that.its simple

last nights game was a chance for king kenny to see first hand that we need reinforcements in january asap. Also he has seen first hand that poulsen and jova are well below the standard needed for lierpool fc.
Lucas will stay. i mean i though he played ok considering the midfeild he was in last night with both poul and jova running around like headless chickens. Meralies is capable of much more as we hav seen but still should be back up to a more commanding midfielder.

I think as little as 3 signings will turn the squad around untill summer when the real buying can happen.

NESV will realise that there needs to be investment otherwise their stake in LFC is going to decline.
What disappoints me is the fact that the side has played poorly for almost a year now. If a had a car that didn't run smoothly then my own common sense would tell me that I would have to get some new parts. First of all I would like at what I had in my garage and if that didn't work I would buy some new parts. This will happen but it has got to happen sooner rather than later.
Fans expect a big-name manager to come in at the end of the season. The reason that most of them have reputations is because they always choose clubs where there is potential and/ or money to strengthen the team. At the moment LFC is sliding down a slippery slope and no big-name manager will have the guts to risk his reputation.
Things will get better but we will have to be patient.

Word to the Wise in Boston - you have to SPECULATE to ACCUMULATE. At the moment we are not going to attract any good young players - Hazard wants arsenal, Defour wants united and Lukaku wants chelsea. Liverpool is just not an attractive notion and something has to be done - not over three or four years but immediately. If Liverpool introduce the promising young players that they already have then any other young player will realise that he has a good chance of progressing.

After watching the match and formation, with players out of position, and some of the well documented disasters, I think that maybe this was a way for KK to see all the players before Henry & Co fly in to sort out transfers after the Everton match. Does anyone really think Johnson will play left back when we have the mighty Konk to come in there? Seriously though, I expect to see a much more orthodox team Sunday, with everyone in their better positions, and all of them out to impress before Monday when KK starts playing the transfer silly season.

I expect some quality signings, no source, just a feeling, but we may have a few older, last few seasons type players to see us through until the summer, and until the youngsters are ready to take the league and world by storm.

Charlie Adam is only 25 although he looks alot older. I think he's a great squad player and better than Lucus or Poulsen but the price has to be right. With little experience at top flight then his value should be between 5m to 10m. Offer 5mill plus Poulsen and Jovanavic, this will ease our wage bill.
Then I'd go for Carroll. 7mill plus Cole and Maxi.
Then mata 10mill plus babel

{Editor's Note: Why would other clubs want to take on all of Liverpool's cast offs?}

Because our cast offs were at one time decent or good players but the pressure of Liverpool plus the expectations are to high for then.
Take Poulsen for instance. He's a highly rated Danish player with great success in his career. The problem was he went to Liverpool with no Experience of modern English football with a weight on his shoulders. I'm sure at a club like Blackpool were there is little pressure then he will regain his confidence and be good at that club. Same can be said about Babel.
Babel I'm sure would be a hit in Spain.
Our deadwood players might not be goodenough for Liverpool but let's not forget they are recognised International players who would be a greater success at a different club or league.

I don't believe your still talking about europe, we're currently in a relegation battle. now not for a minute do I think we are going down, but if you take that for granted, that's when it comes and grabs u. Although we lost again last night I still saw light at the end of the tunnel. We attacked well and with a bit of luck we could have been three up. Torres had quite a few chances that, with a bit of confidence we would get. Lucas I thought was good, he got up and down regular and also covered for Poulsen who is dreadful. Kelly, once again was awsome and is gonna be a superstar. It seems like if somebody has a bad game u want rid of them. Have faith Kenny will turn it around.

Unlike a lot of people on here I have taken my time to digest the events of last night and here are my thoughts.

Kenny has to be given his time to put his own stamp on the team but he has been watching us all season and his team selection was worrying.
If Ian Holloway can see that pace and width is the way forward surely Kenny should be able to.
Sure we did attack more but we also looked like conceding every time Blackpool attacked.
Kenny was a big admirer of RAFA and last nights team and tactics reflected what Rafa probably would have done.
Why was Shelvey brought on at 2-1 down and not Ngog? Again the sort of mysterious change that Rafa would have made.

Johnson should not play in defence again. He is like a young David James who cannot concentrate for 90 minutes. Surely it is time for him to play on the right wing and do what Bale and Coleman have done.

Despite all the vitriolic comments Poulsen did ok in the 1st half but disappeared in the 2nd but so did Lucas who should be sold and replaced with Charlie Adam. A lot of people on here seem to rate Lucas but can anyone remember anything he has done this season besides an assist for a Torres goal (Chelsea?) that has earned us any points?

If Kuyt is going to play it should be as the 2nd striker. He is NOT a winger and neither is Jovanovic who simply is not good enough.
Meireles has been poor for the last 4 or 5 games and we'd better pray that Gerrard plays in most of the remaining games. He is still the one player capable of winning a match by himself and we would not have lost last night with him in the team.

Finally looking at the posts last night it is strange how people find the time to constantly e-mail while they watch the game. Stop it! You might miss something.

Charlie Adam is only 25 although he looks alot older. I think he's a great squad player and better than Lucus or Poulsen but the price has to be right. With little experience at top flight then his value should be between 5m to 10m. Offer 5mill plus Poulsen and Jovanavic, this will ease our wage bill.
Then I'd go for Carroll. 7mill plus Cole and Maxi.
Then mata 10mill plus babel

Kelly skrtel agger aurellio*johnson meireles lucas babbel* Kuyt torres

* if unavailable although i hate to say it konchesky for aurelio and maxi for babbel. The only real positive for me was torres playin on the shoulders of defenders again and lookin really committed and we had more of an attacking mind set its just a shame with that the defending went out the window i know kk is gonna need some time to sort things out but time is soon running out if we're wanting to qualify for europa next season, that's why i feel we need to splash the cash now and less in the summer if needs be as 1.) it'll give the new players time to bed into the squad for hopefully a better next season and with luck help keep us in europe to attract better players

After miserable trip home from Blackpool last night just wanna say we were f* king awful, great goal by Torres but that was it, the other 87mins was a utter cat puke fest, if we had played like that under Roy he would have been crucified more than JC, it was clear to see that the midfield is f* king awful, Poosen( never good enough, what the f* k were you thinking roy & John Aldridge your a muppet if you think he was one of our better players), Mereiles( never right winger, we cried at roy for this), Kuyt( just bad man, nightmare bad), Jovanovic(lacking so much confidence it affected his legs he couldn't run) & as for playing a sh* e right back at Left back what does that say about Koncrapsky's future, surely there must someone who plays at LB in the ressies, one last point thought the ref was absolutely f* king awful never gave us anything. . . .

Is anyone else at all worried by Kenny's interview where he said that "no conversations" had been had about transfers either in or out?

Bel = Worried

Agreed with previous post. Selection was poor. Lets hope that it was experimental and will not happen again. Wtf was Johnson at left back with Mierles on the wing? Surely Johnson could have played there with Mierles replacing Poulsen. And left back. . Where's Aurelio? Is he injured again?

13 Jan 2011 09:10:58Liverpool RumoursLiverpools team selection last night was a joke. Poulsen never deserves to wear a Liverpool shirt again. Merales was rubbish on the right wing and with jova the joke down the other wing we were muck. Had Woy picked that team he would have been ridiculed. Glenn Johnson was also muck on the left. and kyut is a squad player at best. And there was me thinking the days of rubbish players playing out of position were over. Definatly not happy with this one lads.

im sure kenny is testing his squad out. hodgson had time in the summer to work with all the players, so could judge their standard, kenny had only 4 days before that match, not much time to get your methods across in training, hes put johnson at left back to keep aurelio fresh for the derby. kuyt has become an unnecessary fixture that kenny will sort out. as for poulson, kenny may just have needed to see for himself how bad he is. jovanovic needs a run up top with babel to see his best

Surely it's time you started show you're age by now, You say you're old enough to be out drinking, But you type like a teen, And the way you talk about Liverpool there is no way you're a liverpool fan, You're either a Blackpool fan having the time of his life with a great (yes great) team to support, Or you're a manc or a blue having the time of you're life seeing Liverpool struggle, Either way i think its time we treated you like an elephant in the room and ignore you untill you have something worth reading.

The glaring truth is that unless we can buy new players we will be in a relegation fight. Our midfield us not good enough defensively as we lack a holding midfield player, (Lucas is no holding midfielder) and we are very poor defensively, (yes Agger included, he is great on the ball but cannot tackle for s* t). We are so leaky unless we can have the we will score more than you mentality, we will concede in most games and given our front line lacks any width and pace down the flanks we will not score many goals. If you watched the game yesterday Blackpool just packed the middle of the park at the back as we have no width and that is why they conceded the first goal. Torres pulled wide into the free space and with his pace outrun the cb to get in and shoot. Believe mr guy's no pace and width no goals, simple as that. Why do Tottenham and Arsenal do well, pace and width. When would Arsenal ever buy or bring through a wing back or winger without pace, Never. We need to wise up to the modern game, first thing to ask when you look to buy a player is how fast is he, then look at the other attributes. Liverpool have failed in this rule for a very long time, when did we last have a decent pacy winger? Ed's I know you are trying to remain positive, but unless Liverpool get 3 or 4 top players in this window, we will be fighting a battle at the foot of the table. I really cannot see us beating Everton this weekend and that scares the hell out of me. NESV if you are Reading these posts you had better get your cheque book out or your investment could well go down the pan come May.

{Editor's Note: NESV are not to blame for this - as I have said before, they have done what the fans have effectively forced by removing the manager and putting a temporary solution in place. They have also put Comolli in place to assist with the process of recruiting players who can bring a benefit to the club.}

{Editor's Note: It is not up to the owners to see the need for players, it is up to the staff to propose players to the owners who may or may not sanction the expenditure. The scouting staff, coaching staff, management and Comolli will identify players that they consider would bring benefits to the club. A case will be prepared for each and then these will be discussed with the board before a decision is taken, I assume by Tom Werner, to approach the player's club or not.}

John W Henry is flying out to try and sort out the problem areas head on.

His priority will be to sit down with King Kenny and have his first face to face discussion since his appointment. They will be sorting out transfer targets and ways to get the club back on track on the field.

Other issues he will be addressing are, the appointment of a CEO and also what they propose to do in terms of where we will be playing our football in the future (Anfield or a new ground).

Positive signs here and I think transfers will be made in the next 2 weeks.

Dissappointing result last night but from what I watched there were some definate signs of improvement. I was a bit dissappointed with the starting 11 and would have preferred if KD had started with the 11 players which finished the game, think that side was slightly better balanced.

KD obviously had to juggle the side around a bit, what with injuries, suspensions and off the back of a tough encounter with Mancs on Sunday. He also had to take into consideration the derby this weekend and probably wanted to keep 1 or 2 players fresh for that game.

I have every confidence the King will turn things round, the signs are already there. Let's not forget he's only been in charge for 4 days and has had to play 2 games in that period, so he's probably not had a great deal of time to sit down with players or been able to get his views and strategies accross.

Can't wait til Sunday, KK's home coming will be fab and I'm confident we'll get the right result.

NO VISION or PACE. .

Last night was so frustrating, players that have NO PACE whatsoever - Javo-inch-by-inch, Paulson, Johnson (looked like he was a Sunday stroll) - We looked padestrian - surely Liverpool should not be simply run off the park by another team.

As for vision let us not even start there - vision is something you either have as a player or you don't - only players that seemed to have a glimpse is Lukas and Mereiles - Lukas at least lifts his head to look the rest are so insecure they can't lift their eyes to see what is going on around them.

Charlie Adam - what a player!

I only hope that the reason KK played the likes of Paulson and Javo was to give them a gap - now they have had it - cheers next please!

I agree with you Pete. Two seasons without CL football will mean we lose Torres & Reina. Gerrard missed the boat a few years a go, but Liverpool is in his blood so I think he'll end his career here now. Wouldn't be so dissappointed to see back of Torres, but losing Reina would be a massive blow!

Players like, Skrtel, Soto, Poulsen, Lucas, Rual (I sh it out of every possible challenge Merielles), Jovanovic, Kuyt, Ngog, Konchesky are no where near good enough.

Action is required now Mr Henry before its too late.

Anything on alex oxlade chamberlain ed

{Editor's Note: Only what was said yesterday - a "bid" has supposed been "prepared" - which I expect means that there is a report for consideration on the player. It would be an expensive high-risk investment for a player who is at best going to have occasional trips to the bench in the nmear-ter

It's worth the risk if it means we're getting qaulity. It's not very often you'll get a player on the cheap & he'll turn into a star. Personally I the Shelvey will be sold with in 2 seasons. I've seen enough to know he's not going to make a top star.

I know it is clutching at straws but we can still have European football next year if we win the Europa League. We have a good chance as Athletico are knocked out, City will be focusing on the league, and I think we can beat Porto and Dortmund. We do not have any cup games to worry about, so I think we should play our best team. Fulham got to the final last year, so why shouldn't we?

Some quality signings, a top 7 finish and a Europa League win shows we are making progress. It is still possible to finish 7th IMO, as we have a game in hand, and we are yet to play Sunderland and Newcastle.

Let's hope we can get a win against Everton, and get back some confidence.

The glaring truth is we have no confidence as a team and equally we have nowhere near a good enough squad. Kenny will turn it around given time as the guy oozes confidence and class, but we are mearly papering over the cracks. I prefer Kenny in charge to Roy, before anyone starts.

Why don't we use Kuyt as Meireles's partner in central midfield? Incredible engine, likes to get forward, combative, decent passer. Also, get Pacheco in the squad. Based on current players, my team 4-4-1-1: Reina, Kelly, Agger, Skrtel, Aurelio, Babel, Kuyt, Meireles, Cole, Gerrard, Torres. Backup team consists of: Cavalieri, Johnson, Wilson, Carragher, Konchesky, Maxi, Shelvey, Lucas, Jovanovic, Pacheco, N'Gog. Anyone agree that Kuyt would make a great combative central midfielder, and Pacheco in the squad? THE QUAGGAR

mate i agree with some of the stuff u said, but the only thing wrong with ur post is that cavalieri is in the backup team. cavalieri left for cesena and then left for fluminese.

Kenny is silent on Transfers as he should be, but a source from the Echo stating that Kenny wants Prem proven players who can play but are sitting on the bench at some teams. They were looking at Bentley but may still use Glen Johnson on the Right Wing and Kelly at the back. There is a need for a CB (not Shawcross because ManU have first option, but scouser Scott Dann is the player they're looking at. Might be hard to deal with McCleish because he's a Manc as well)with Skrtel or Agger leaving to raise funds. They will be looking at Wright Phillips (Bad move), N'Zogbia (Very good move) or Gamst (who I've been talking about for years). They wanted Daniel Sturridge, but the move was stopped (would have been a good move). They can't get Keisuke Honda for a medical until the Asian Cup is over.(could be a late deal). They are looking at Adebayor (fantastic move) or even Santa Cruz (so-so move). Adebayor would thrive with a two pronged attack with Torres and could be potentially a top 10 strikeforce in Europe. Also Kenny is a Striker and we've already seen the difference in Torres over the last two games!
Another thing is the news that we are after Chamberlain (wants to go to Chelsea) and Wickham (only 1 goal this season. That for 10 million. .WOW how English superstars are over priced). .These are both bad moves as we should look to tie up an extension for Tom Ince and play him in a couple of games (If we could stomach the play of Jovanovic, I'm sure we'll get better play with Ince, Sterling, Amoo and Pacheco!). .Players like Wickham, Chamberlain, Marveux WILL NOT HELP us back to Europe. .We need BIG talent and you don't have to pay over 20 million to get them! SEE BELOW!

Probable signings in the window:
Adebayor 18m (Attitude, but he's with the King to keep him in order)
Honda 14m
N'Zogbia 7m
Insua (Daglish needs and likes him)
and may be even Turan as I've heard that Paul Daglish is aware of his talents and passing them on to his father and Commoli (who is also a fan when Spurs wanted him)
[[Suarez doesn't want LFC, so why do we need him!. .Don't know why we didn't bring in Raul or Van Nistelrooy when we had the chance]]

Probable outs: (Both players were auditioned and failed today)
Poulsen 1.5m
Jovanovic 2.5m
Konchesky 2m (cut price back to Fulham)
Agger/ Aqua 22m (Juventus wants them and really Agger is good with the ball but not a defender that LFC needs. .ie: Hansen, Vidic, type player, plus Soto, Wilson and even Kelly can back up)

SIM THE RED!
(Ed. .What do you think mate? "Ade" to be or not to be?)

{Editor's Note: Whilst I think that you paint a pretty bleak picture, you have made a number of good points - and to be fair a lot of wishful thinking. Just to clear up this matter of "he's a Manc and won't sell to us" - it really is nonsense and not how the business works at all. Just to run through your initial statements, I agree that Morten Gamst Pedersen is a very good player (and a favourite of Mourinho) but he must also be close to 30 now and I don’t think would provide the benefits to the club that we all want to see. Your views on Santa Cruz and Adebayor are much different to mine and I don’t see either as the way forward for the club. I don’t know enough about Chamberlain or Wickham but the prices being quoted and the lack of experience at the highest-level may them only high-risk targets who may have a future at the club – but little to contribute in the short-term. So if the money is spent there it is not well spent in my view. Honda would be good; N’Zogbia would be treading water for me; Insua is a wait and see; Arda Turan will be one for the summer maybe – but not now. AS for the outs I agree (except possibly Agger) – but it won’t all happen in this window.}

Look, I am not going to say anything about the latest defeat - let's face it, defeats are the norm for liverpool now (10 league losses so far this season). The real problem now in my opinion, is the fact we have no battlers in the team who will put their foot in, and win the 50/ 50s or 60/ 40s. This is a problem, because without a shadow of a doubt, we are in a relegation fight, and the teams who will survive will be the ones who fight, and give 100% every game.

With the Derby up next, just watch us be out muscled again all over the pitch.

We have to stay positive though and hope our level of football improves enough to keep us out of the bottom 3, but who thinks we will get any points out of the next 2 game - Everton and Wolves away ?

It's a shame that with our away form so bad that 4 of our last 5 games will have been away - after the Wolves game.

Why don't we use Kuyt as Meireles's partner in central midfield? Incredible engine, likes to get forward, combative, decent passer. Also, get Pacheco in the squad. Based on current players, my team 4-4-1-1: Reina, Kelly, Agger, Skrtel, Aurelio, Babel, Kuyt, Meireles, Cole, Gerrard, Torres. Backup team consists of: Cavalieri, Johnson, Wilson, Carragher, Konchesky, Maxi, Shelvey, Lucas, Jovanovic, Pacheco, N'Gog. Anyone agree that Kuyt would make a great combative central midfielder, and Pacheco in the squad? THE QUAGGAR

People need to realise there is no quick fix, nesv have not got money to burn. Chelsea, Arsenal, United, City, Spurs and Sunderland have all got better squads than us. All have access to more funds to strenghen except Sunderland. We also need a new stadium or major work done at Anfield. In my opinion it will take 2-3 years minimum to start challenging at the top, we have to be patient which i know is not easy! We have got rid of Hicks and Gilliet, all we can do now is get behind KK and the team and also the Editor.

COLLIN YNWA

i agree with most of that apart from the funds, nesv have the funds, nesv as a company is worth nearly 2 billion, alot more than tottenhams owner, alot more than arsenals owner, even united don't have that much, chelsea im not sure what ambramovich has now, and city really no one is as rich as them

{Editor's Note: The value of NESV or the wealth of their individual partners is nothing whatsoever to do with the money available to Liverpool.}

More of a question than a rumour Ed but how many times if ever have Fernando and babel played together as strikers? I think that given a good run ( babel only played 4 consecutive game in row) that IMO they could do the job. Babels only had a few game this season n he scored a couple woulda done something v Blackpool I feel if give the shout. If u don't post will u atleast answer me back Ed. Thanks top site btw

I'm not usually one to give my opinion on the players we should be targeting but I must say I'm surprised we haven't really shown interest in Pablo Piatti. Admittedly I haven't seen a great deal of him. Maybe 5 or so games, but I think he is a player with potential and could benefit the team even if he came now, especially with his great pace. I think if we play him down the left wing or as a second striker he could easily provide enough support for Fernando and he is young at 21 and I would think he would be fairly cheap. If anyone has seen him it'd be nice to hear your opinion of him.

Plain and simple we were not good enough against Blackpool but better than what we have been under Roy. Charlie Adam what a champion. That's the type of player we need at LFC. My opinion is RAFA signed and left us with alot of mediocre players who really shouldn't be wearing the famous red shirt. We have had two major changes this season 1. owners 2. Manager now 3. players. NESV and KK are not silly, lets see where we are in May 2011.

Only seen a few of the comments on here 2nite and i can't believe how stupid some people are. . .

kenny took charge less than a week ago, and although he watches 99% of the games he has never managed this squad b4, he needs to see what he can get out of each and every player we have to work with and which ones he thinks he can and can't improve and start building.

Gutted we didn't get a win but could see how the different players are improving or not. . . . .torres wanted that ball 2nite and controlled it better and SCORED too, which made a change.

Id like to see kenny try these sunday

That all I've been saying all night was that he got his team selection wrong, and probably took too long to make changes. To which u've called me arrogant, dense and living in a computer game driven world (at no point did I say we are gonna sign Messi, Xavi and Ronaldo).

Thats how our club will progress there is no quick fix to build a great team we need solid foundations ie youth teams and reserve teams! kenny knows the youngsters that will make it and im sure they will be at least training with the first team soon!

Yes I am incredibly dense and I base my whole world around FIFA and FM.

You do understand that you can questions peoples decisions without slagging the off, its called criticism.
And that what I did of Kenny's team selection tonight.

How was the performance better when you have less chances and your keeper was the best player.

Stop being so blinkered and admit tonight Kenny got the selection and subs wrong.

Sorry but tonight was down to team selection errors and Kenny knew they weren't good enough before tonight but was doing the new manager thing and giving them a chance. {ed's note - he has to give them a chance, you can't just dismiss players as hopeless or you destroy any team spirit within the club. By showing players they will get a chance you get everyone working harder.}

Surely having Blackpool do the double over you, destroy's team spirit more than telling the poor players that they are poor and leaving them out of the squad as he's done with Konk. Also I'm pretty sure Poulsen and Jova are not the bedrocks of Liverpool's team spirit. {ed's note - the players understand that you can't win every game and they appreciate being given a chance to prove themselves. They know when they don't perform and they know they will deserve being dropped. Luckily the players aren't as arrogant as the fans and realise that Blackpool are a good side playing well.}

i know what your trying to say ed about blackpool being a good side & all but we are L.F.C. or are you now admitting we have fell so far behind we are now classed very average? you may as well admit it coz all the rest of the prem know we are very average bordering sh* e. {ed's note - we have been since we let Alonso go, that is not news. But an average team handled properly can play above themselves and get results. Unfortunately Roy mishandled the squad and now Kenny is having to pick up the pieces and rebuild. It will take time and the sooner people calm down and concentrate on backing the team it will be better for everyone.}

People need to wake up liverpool are in a decline & this is my take on it.
as you all know there used to be a so called big 4 but then came along mr abramovich who turn chelsea into a mega power & hiking up the transfer market & thus stole the march on the so called top 4, so the top 4 had no choice but to pay inflated transfer fee's for players to which liverpool bought too many average players that have done nothing for the club except from put us im a massive debt.& now we have man city who will & i stress will buy the epl sooner or later.& liverpool & even man utd can't compete with what they are paying out for players.so again man city steal the march to all the top players, leaving the rest of us to sign up the good players but not class players that are needed to compete.it is all about the money.becuse liverpool were in such a mess with money & for a few season's we were unable to improve our squad & now we find that all the lesser teams have improved while we stood still.
, y worry is it could well be too late, that now we have some transfer funds who will we attract to turn our season around with the position we currently find ourselves in.
so everyone should brace them selves for the worse because it could well be too late as we will now be in this relegation battle for the rest of the season.so mr henry if your listening & when we make signing's remember the saying :
YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! !

Yes playing very well lost their 3 and not won at home since Wolves in November.

I imagine the players do understand you can't win every game but don't understand that you can't win sometimes.

massively difficult? we played Blackpool!

{Editor Note: Have you been in middle earth all year? Blackpool are a good team, and they have proven difficult to beat this season. Stinks of arrogance what you said.}

so you're saying it is ok for us to struggle against Blackpool? well i can think of at least 10 teams in the epl that would be a more difficult game so on your views we are screwed

{Editor Note: We got beat, but we didn't struggle. We had more possession, and nearly as many shots. I don't see how anyone who has watched any PL football this season could even suggest going to any team let alone Blackpool would be easy. Of course we should be winning these games, but look at our league position for starters. No game in this league can be dismissed as "easy" or "only Blackpool".}

Surely this is a joke that i don't get by the Editor. We are Liverpool Football Club.

One of the reasons that Woy didn't work was his constant negativity.

A defeat is never an acceptable result for liverpool even if we're down to 4 men and playing at the Barca.

10 men against the scum i could understand but tonight's performances was dreadful and the team selection was strange at best.

{Editor Note: Right, so you want me to be arrogant like yourself and say that Blackpool should have been easy?

And like I said, Kenny has had one training session to work with the team. He's not a miracle worker.}

I'm with you on this Ed there is no such thing as an easy game in the premier league especially this season all the top teams have been dropping points to the lesser teams not just us! Some people expect us to win every game. I thought Blackpool were unlucky to lose to Man City at Bloomfield, Man City play with 3 holding mid-fielders and play the most defensive, boring football in the league and Blackpool still had more chances to win the game. Blackpool are a breath of fresh air to the premier league, they play attacking football no matter who they play. What do you think Ed? Most of us value your opinion Ed keep up the good work {ed's note - I think Blackpool have been fantastic and it is about time they got the credit their performances deserved. They deserved to beat us and well done to them.}

I'm sorry but I'm not having this anymore, I respect the editors but Blackpool is not a difficult tie so far they've won v Wigan, NUFC, WBA, Wolves, Stoke, Sunderland and Liverpool twice.

If Blackpool are a difficult tie then the teams they are beating we should be getting a point against? ?

Sorry but this was Roy's mentality and it breeds lack of confidence, we should be winning every game and when we don't we should of at least of played like we could and wanted to.

All to often this season we've played as though we hoped for a draw. {ed's note - which we didn't do tonight, so what exactly is your problem? Are you arrogant enough to think we should beat Blackpool because it is only Blackpool?}

I'd rather we'd played this season as Blackpool have. And with the players we have, imo we'd have more points than they do now.

How many quality players have we let slipped in the past because of our pussyfooting? C Ronaldo, Anelka, Walcott etc {ed's note - we let them slip in the past for varying reasons, you are generalising here and coming up with nothing that makes sense. Houllier decided he didn't want Anelka, nothing to do with pussyfooting at all. Ronaldo was Parry being Parry, utterly useless.

Maybe it's arrogance but Kenny has been there longer than 5 days that's why I said the team selection was strange.

He would of seen how out of his depth Poulsen and Jova have been. That Johnson struggles to defend on the right never mind the left. And that by putting on the left you destroyed his only really asset of bombing on as he wanted to cut inside where we already congested with 3 deep lying CM, which left Torres isolated yet again.

Kuyt is going backwards faster Micheal J Fox in 1986.

Skrtel has lost it ever since he broke his cheekbone.

Sorry but tonight was down to team selection errors and Kenny knew they weren't good enough before tonight but was doing the new manager thing and giving them a chance. {ed's note - he has to give them a chance, you can't just dismiss players as hopeless or you destroy any team spirit within the club.

{Editor Note: Expected to beat them with Kenny in charge? Would you say one training session with the players and 5 days in the job is sufficient time for any manager to prepare a team and get them playing his way? And regardless of whether Blackpool have the worst home record or not, they are a hard team to beat home or away. Forget their home form, what about their overall form? They are close to the European positions I gather.}

But do you not agree that Kenny got the team wrong? It's ok to give every player a chance, but surely he would have watched enough games to know what all of us knew - Poulsen, Jova was crap and good God - playing Johnson as left-back. . he might as well stick to Konch since he also deserves a look-in {ed's note - he has his reasons for the team he chose. It didn't get the result but Blackpool played very well and deserved to win.}

I disagree with the defending poorly, we defended great. I think the defenders had an okay game, it was the midfielders that was the problem. Too many errors, misplaced passes and holding back on tackles. I think Poulsen was absolute s* t, he didn't do anything. Meireles was okay, not great same for Lucas. Kelly had an awful game aswell. Torres had an amazing game. Its great to see him back at his best. We were very unlucky, that is all. Hope we play better in the Everton game! Any comments on my notes Ed? :) {ed's note - Skrtel was poor and Meireles was worse even than Poulsen.

Same goes for Sanchez, or N'Zogbia, or Coentrao, or. . (anyone else? ). As far as I know there's zero transfers

Turan? all nice and good that he's a fan, want to play for us, boyhood heroes et al, but it seems only Dalglish is keen, not Roy, not Rafa. . did they see something about him that perhaps KK did not notice? {ed's note - so you must have missed all the times Honda gave interviews saying he wanted to join us and all the times his agent said that he wanted to join us then?}

People need to realise there is no quick fix, nesv have not got money to burn. Chelsea, Arsenal, United, City, Spurs and Sunderland have all got better squads than us. All have access to more funds to strenghen except Sunderland. We also need a new stadium or major work done at Anfield. In my opinion it will take 2-3 years minimum to start challenging at the top, we have to be patient which i know is not easy! We have got rid of Hicks and Gilliet, all we can do now is get behind KK and the team and also the Editor.

I'm sorry but I'm not having this anymore, I respect the editors but Blackpool is not a difficult tie so far they've won v Wigan, NUFC, WBA, Wolves, Stoke, Sunderland and Liverpool twice.

If Blackpool are a difficult tie then the teams they are beating we should be getting a point against? ?

Sorry but this was Roy's mentality and it breeds lack of confidence, we should be winning every game and when we don't we should of at least of played like we could and wanted to.

All to often this season we've played as though we hoped for a draw. {ed's note - which we didn't do tonight, so what exactly is your problem? Are you arrogant enough to think we should beat Blackpool because it is only Blackpool?}

I hope KD isn't going to have whole second half of a season picking players to see how bad they really are.

We already know:

poulson> should retire, too slow, too weak, unable to cover ground or pass too well. C. Poulsen shouldn't be let near the first team.

G. Johnson> i have no idea why he is playing out of position. if we are short on players, then get insua back, ayala for liverpool.

D. Agger> looks like he is lacking match fitness.

Raul Meireles > is too weak for premiership. He should be in the gym beefing up.

M. Jovanovic> looked like he is lacking match fitness. and has been eating fish and chips for 6 months. He needs alot of training.

F. Torres is playing with pain killers. So he playing lame.

G-Johnson to should up into midfield. i would of played Auerilo. moved G-Johnson into midfield.

Played D. Kuyt + M. Jovanovic upfront and Torres on the bench.

I would of given Pacheco a run out tonight. second half put maxi on for him.

If i was to play torres, let him have 30 minutes tonight.

If liverpool can't get hold of players, then get Aquilani back NOW. we want Aquilani we paid for an itailian

{ed's note - Blackpool have shown they are capable of beating anyone, that makes it a massively difficult game. This is not the 80s!}

Sir, if you check the BPL home form, you will notice that Blackpool has the worst home record, yet we got turned over! We were expected to beat them comfortably with KK in charge, high morale, confidence or otherwise. Beating Blackpool is not massively difficult!

{Editor Note: Expected to beat them with Kenny in charge? Would you say one training session with the players and 5 days in the job is sufficient time for any manager to prepare a team and get them playing his way? And regardless of whether Blackpool have the worst home record or not, they are a hard team to beat home or away. Forget their home form, what about their overall form? They are close to the European positions I gather.}

so you're saying it is ok for us to struggle against Blackpool? well i can think of at least 10 teams in the epl that would be a more difficult game so on your views we are screwed

{Editor Note: We got beat, but we didn't struggle. We had more possession, and nearly as many shots. I don't see how anyone who has watched any PL football this season could even suggest going to any team let alone Blackpool would be easy. Of course we should be winning these games, but look at our league position for starters. No game in this league can be dismissed as "easy" or "only Blackpool".}

Surely this is a joke that i don't get by the Editor. We are Liverpool Football Club.

One of the reasons that Woy didn't work was his constant negativity.

A defeat is never an acceptable result for liverpool even if we're down to 4 men and playing at the Barca.

10 men against the scum i could understand but tonight's performances was dreadful and the team selection was strange at best.

redsoldier

{Editor Note: Right, so you want me to be arrogant like yourself and say that Blackpool should have been easy? Ask a fan of every team who has went to Bloomfield Road this season and not one will tell you they had an easy game. Start reading what I write, I said that yes, we should be betting Blackpool but no way will I sit down and say and it should be an easy game. And like I said, Kenny has had one training session to work with the team. He's not a miracle worker.}

Let's get one thing clear about Blackpool as a lot of people are slating them. Those lads give 90 minutes effort and work f* *ing hard for each other. I've never seen a team give so much effort. They play good football and at times some very good stuff.

The regret for me is that we have players that don't have that ability to put more than a half hearted foot in the midfield. f* *ing Souey would have had them all tonight but we just don't have that defiance and fearless presence. Our team is weak physically. Some of those players are out of their depth in this League never mind being at Liverpool.

However there was a stroke of fortune for their first goal with the ball bobbling off Agger and their 2nd was just players being free to nut which surely can be addressed.

Bringing the kids into this won't help us at the moment I don't think.

All we can do is work on it in all aspects and I hope we get some very basic defending sorted out as well as some kind of protection in midfield.

Don't forget the ref had some very questionable calls and we were better than our showing against Blackburn.

at this point ill be happy staying in pl, ofcourse every one wants top 4 but we have to be realistic top 4 isn't coming to soon, its gunna be a few years b4 we get top 4 again, and difference with blackpools 500k players is they have hunger and wanna play football for the game not for the money like most of our players

Ppl saying we will struggle to attract players, look at tottenham they been up and down loads of times but still manage to attract good players

It's not the teams stature that determines if you get your target or not, all that matters is how much you are willing to pay the player each week, the agent will do the rest.

Blackpool had players turn down prem football in the summer for league 1 football as they were willing to pay a few quid more.

The poorer the reputation of the team the more the wages will be (yaya at Man City £200 grand a week)

Lets hope our current situation doesn't cause to pay City and Chelsea wages for our targets.

also ed hollaway for manager of the season
he got to be up there with the players he has and what they done so far. and he won more away games than hodgson has done

Lets stop blaming Rafa, its getting a bit pathetic really , he did far better with these players so is he such a genius to get far better out of them . No he isn't , but the players responded better for him and played to the level they can . .

I do think Kenny would get the same response from the players with time, his positive football will get the players going .
It was a stupid decision to put him in charge just before a difficult game against United, if he was introduced on Monday and today was his first , I think the result would have been different , the loss to united would have played on players mind .

arda turan 24 turkish he wants to come could cost between 8m plus insua upto 12m plays lw, rw, lm, rm, cf

ever banega 21/ 22 argentinian out of favour at valencia
could cost between 12-15m would come as get in 1st team.hes stronger than meireles n lucas combined great distribution can tackle got skill plays cdm, cm, cam

yann m'vila 20 french hes young strong good feet suits the prem can boss midfield get him for round 15m plays cdm, cm would get in team.

taye taiwo 28 nigerian plays lb got loads of pace really strong suits prem out of contract soon could get him now for round 4-5m

conor wickham 17 plays for ipswich as a striker is a lfc fan strong, can pass shoot, could get him for 10m plus few loan players
these players would come to us and are much better than we have also all of them are attainable and not dream team.

Our players are far better than they have been playing, most (near enough all )are internationals we had over 11 players in the world cup finals and Lucas is becoming a brazilian regular, BUT still a team like Blackpool made us look like Accrington Stanley . .

I don't think its the players, there is something far deeper than that , coaching / training / bonding whatever . Blackpool were playing for each other, nice delicate passes , good one two , we did nothing like that , most of our players tried to shoot from outside the 18 , when was the last time Torres passed the ball to anyone in the area (he does not trust his team mates), Kuyt the same, unless Torres is around him, he will shoot.
Unless something change at the core, I would think even 5 new top class players won't be able to change our fortunes.

Went to the match tonight. Couple of points I noted:

We don't seem fit enough to play 90 mins currently at a good tempo

Jovanovic isn't useful

The center of the midfield is far far to physically weak. We were even pulling out of 50/ 50 balls on occasions.

Meireles isn't up to his price tag

Kelly was solid, the kid has a future, hope he stays in the side

The side lacks pace everywhere

There arnt many options on the bench.

We need signings badly and they have to come in January or we will continue to struggle. There was some improvement but plenty of room still to improve. We just don't seem to have basic things in place at the moment. I'm hoping for a miracle on Sunday.

Liverpool fc need to be relegated, we need to be kicked off are perch of being most successful club in england, and we need to start again, rebuild, we can't have a mass clear out cos ud have to pay for replacements and for extra players for depth, , we need to just sell a couple this window buy 3-4 players, 2 players for now and 2 for the future, then in summer sell 3-4 of the other dead wood and buy 2-3 replacements and 2-3 young talents for future, then january after complete the transition of the dead wood to players who want to be at the club and who can actually pass a ball, cross a ball, r quick and pacy, and willing to get stuck in. . forget those overpaid premadonnas who r only in it for the money and not the sport. what u think ED?

{Editor Note: The last thing we need is to be relegated. We need Kenny to try and fix the mess Hodgson has created this season.}

The best thing for us is to get relegated? Is that a joke or are you a Manc in disguise?

Either way it did make me smile thanks for that mate.

Finally, we begin to see the real problems in the LFC team. We got rid of a very good manager, and nothing changed. We got rid of a very ordinary manager, and nothing has changed. The simple truth is that, for a long time now, we have been recruiting average players and over-achieving with them. Why? Because H&G would not support the management in buying quality players. They even forced the manager to buy from teams who owed us money, and wound up being overcharged as a result, to wit: Johnson and Aquilani.

Own up, when Aquilani arrived you thought, "who the fk?" He might be lighting up Italy now, but I never saw one decent performance in a Liverpool shirt from him.

Little by little, average players began to infiltrate the team, and a lot of fans, blinded by loyalty and passion for the club, defended their inclusion. I name Kuyt, bought as a FORWARD, remember? Not good enough, so tried on the right. Lucas. I am sorry lads, but at this level, after 3 years as a team fixture in the PL, being caught from behind and robbed every match time and time again does not cut it. N'Gog. PowderPuff Man. Carragher, legs went 2-3 years ago, and an ALREADY average player just got worse. Skrtl, a poor man's Vidic. Aurelio, he's never been quite good enough for long enough. Jovanovic. Are you Kewell in disguise? Dribbles in the same head down manner as Baros. Then loses it.
Joe Cole. Like Keane, he thinks a lot of running wil make fans believe he is doing a lot for the team. I would rather have a lazy b* tard like Berbatov who can fkn control a ball.

And the youngsters coming through concern me even more.

Spearing. He's 8 isn't he? Ecclestone. truly awful, pace and nothing else. Pacheco. looks like a kid in a grown-up's team. Needs inches and pounds for this league. Ayala looked like a rabbit in the headlights when i seen him.

But even still, do not fkn tell me that we need more and better players, because we just got outplayed by Blackpool, whose total team cost less than Aquilani. And don't tell me we need a better coach or manager because we are on our 3rd in 8 months FFS.
And don't fkn tell me that if Hodgson had been manager there wouldn't have been a virtual riot on here. All the senior duffers above are either internationals or are on the fringe of an international side, which makes me think that they are only internationals now because they play for LFC tbh.

It's time to examine the possibility that I have been peddling here for ages, that something stinks in the dressing room. Look at Chelsea, since they sacked Wilkins, the players don't give a fk. And it looks like our guys don't give a fk now either. Players will take every opportunity to dial in a performance, and some of them have hidden behind bad owners, boardroom instability, a manager hounded out and a manager doomed from day one and put in pitiful, there-in-body-only performances for a long time. In fact, if you were going to put a pin into the day our present troubles started, I would point at the sale of Alonso. We have been on the slide since then.

So maybe Rafa has to take some of the blame, and H&G a lot more, and Moores, and Parry and Purslow and Broughton, and Ayres and Hodgson. But without a shadow of doubt, the people who deserve the most blame are the players themselves. The fire has gone out.

Hi ed, what did u think of tonights display.

What went well for kenny? {ed's note - Torres played better, the team actually tried to attack but poor passing, especially in the final third let us down. We were also outfought in the middle of the pitch and Skrtel was awful. But there were signs of improvement and the players are finally starting to actually move off the ball. What did you think?}

{ed's note - Llorente is perfectly possible, they have to sell and he is apparently not keen on a Real Madrid move as he is not convinced that they want him as more than a stop gap until Higuain returns from injury.}

Glad to hear that Ed, hope ur right too. I hate Madrid n barca having the monopoly on any decent players in their league- again if we had the means mata wud be ideal too but he seems happy where he is. Thanks for the feedback- seems like a busy night! lol

Jason {ed's note - Mata will be sold as soon as someone offers the cash. Valencia have no choice but to accept decent cash offers.}

We I've recently been linked with f.contrao for the left back position and yeah he would be a good signing £15+ million is money that could be better spent else where, what about armand traore, on loan at juve ATM but could be just what we need strong, fast, tall and only 21 I think he also drops into the homegrown quota, would only be around £5 million what do u think Ed?. {ed's note - he is a poor defender, but he can't be worse than Konchesky!}

The latest polls on official LFC site show that 6% believe Poulson earned Man of the Match. You gotta love the ironic scouse humour!
