Yerra i wouldnt worry 2 weeks away from the FA Cup final, the players minds are elsewhere, sure its not like winning every league game between now and the end will make a difference to making a CL Spot. Win 2 trophies and we will work over the summer to have a go at doing better in the league.

You could blame the distraction of FA cup except likes of Henderson, Downing, etc have been serving up this dross all season, especially since turn of year.Kenny will be given another chance to prove he can do it, along with his expensive misfiring acquisitions. However, I'd say that a poor or even mediocre start to next season will see him gone before September is out.

I just don't see any managerial pedigree in Kenny. What did he acheive at Liverpool that the manager who takes over from Ferguson won't achieve? He took over a brilliant team and left them in dissaray when he jumped ship. Of course Souness has been made the scapegoat as his reputation was severely tarnished at the time. He was then the first manager to buy a league. He then took over at Newcastle and Celtic, both disastrous appointments. Then he spends years out of the game and returns as a Messiah. Why hasn't any club touched him with a barge poll in the past 10 years? He's simply not good enough. The yanks would be stupid to give him more money to waste. Liverpool fans are very loyal which is commendable but they have to divorce the player from the manager otherwise they go through a similar 4 or 5 years that they game to both Benitez and Houllier.

SSssshhhhh! You're not allowed point any of this out or else people will call you a WUM. Kenny is the king and infallible. He has bought really well, managed the whole Suarez saga wonderfully and got this squad of players, who every single Liverpool supporter said was man for man better than United and top 4 at least was the aim for this season, to within a scarcely believable 40 points of United. I'll say one thing for Kenny, despite the fact that certain Liverpool supporters are claiming that the league doesn't matter and clubs should be judged on how they do in the secondary cup competition, he will know himself that it's all about the league and he may well sit down during the summer and decide himself that it's time to go.Will FSG give him another £120m or so to spend considering the value return they've seen on Henderson, Downing and Carroll for a combined eye-watering £75m? If they had spent another £12m, they could've got Yaya Toure, David Silva and Sergio Aguero. If there's not the same investment, how can FSG expect Daglish to find another 35 or 40 points next year to get them challenging-is he the right man for the job?

Truth is nobody knows...while he may well carry the can..I'd like to give him his 3 years. As bad as some of them are, once they cross the white line not much you can do. I have never seen so many chances created and missed...absolute joke, so while manager is culpable, finishing from players is dreadful and some of them have to take the blame. Hitting the post is unlucky, but also a miss. Time will tell, but sure maybe he'll get as much time as Fergie and Mark Robbins!

.. as for hitting the post being unlucky yes it is normally but if its happening in every game its not unlucky its bad finishing

True not much he can do after they cross the line but he puts the team out and he gathered the players together at enormous expense... as for hitting the post being unlucky yes it is normally but if its happening in every game its not unlucky its bad finishing

True. When the Americans asked Kenny and Comoloni to specify reasons for failings this season in a written report, they explicitly told them both not to mention "bad luck".
Don't think they'll hand Kenny a big transfer kitty this summer - more likely he'll be told to do his job and coach likes of Henderson, Carroll, Downing, etc back to their pre Liverpool form.

CL will be a priority for the owners, that's where the money is, end of. If they want to get in there, they're going to have to spend in the summer, who'll be spending it remains to be seen.They're crying out for a goalscorer, doesn't have to be someone who can perform wonders, but who has a good shots on target to goals ratio, creating chances doesn't appear to be the problem, its finishing them off that's killing Liverpool.
Other positions such as someone to play beside Lucas in the 'Alonso' role is another requirement, but a striker has to be top of the pile. Preferably someone who can link uo/bring out the best in Suarez also. I just hope that the scouting network goes beyond the shores of Britain this summer.
