Am reading some comments on RAWK, some very amusing comments, most of them think they are nailed on for 4th, maybe even 3rd !!!!
Kenny is under pressure. It's unlikely we'll play CL next season if this way of play continues, we need to spend and spend big
People will laugh me out of the room but Nabil El Zhar used to give us more of an edge and effectiveness when he used to come on at the end of games than Downing does now.
Time after time this season I've watched a heap of brick performance and result at Anfield but somehow we are still right in the mix. This season has to be an excellent opportunity with Chelsea and Arsenal showing weaknesses
i dont trust Kenny with any transfer money
Very surprised by the overall mood in the pub afters, but it's worse here, perhaps unsurprisingly.
1. I don't understand anyone who even mentions the face rubber in the same breath as KK. They cannot be fans of this club.
2. I don't understand the lack of respect, patience or faith in the current regime.
3. I don't understand the lack of understanding of the bigger picture.
4. We were brick today. There have not been many days this season we can say that.
5. We are very close to winning our first trophy in several years. I don't understand how this isn't an overall sign of progress
End of the day Kenny got it wrong. You can call it why you want. 3-6-1, 5-4-1 3-4-2-1, 5-3-1-1...the formation and the team didn't work. Kenny should be blamed and rightly so. It was a mess. We were brick. I didn't expect anything different though when I seen the team. Kuyt up front by himself? He hasn't even scored a goal his season. He's finished. It says I all when Kenny has spent ?ú35 million on a striker and he prefers Kuyt upfront. By himself.
All the super fans can defend the team and the manager but long term Kenny isn't the man to take us forward. We finished 6th last season on a wave of optimism that Kenny created. We've now gone sale again. The players look confused, the fans even more so. Today was desperate. I wouldn't trust Kenny with another ?ú100 let alone ?ú100million. He's got shut of Meireles, Aquliani and Cole for Downing, Adam and Henderson at a cost of ?ú45million or so. He's replaced Torres with Carroll and Kyrigakos for Coates. Are we any better? Not really. We look painfully short of ideas and invention. We've won 3 home game this season and we're in January. Bolton have scored more goals than us.
I could go but its boring. Today was a slap in the face to the fans who turned up in the freezing cold to support the team and were subject to an abject performance and a bizzare team selection with players who didn't know what they were doing.
Kenny is a legend and he's restored us back to our pre-hodgson level. He wont take us much further, I fear
