I think they'll be top 3/4. He's already been told to clear the wage bill by getting rid of the dead wood which will provide scope for a fair few new signings.
Yeh aslong as they bottle it and we win thats fine.I enjoyed our title-race against them couple of seasons back. United vs. Liverpool, the way it should be.
(sighs) Morons are morons (whichever team they claim to support) I wouldn't attempt to justify it or wish to be associated with it.I owe Dalglish feck all.
There were a lot of heroes at Munich, never stopped your lot singing about it until 1989

They are not the most successful English club of all time though.My mate on Facebook:
"After waiting unsuccessfully for 20 years to see if anyone can get 5 European Cups and become a GREAT EUROPEAN team, King Kenny returns as permanent manager of the most successful English club of all time, Liverpool to pick up where he left off in 1990.
The good domestic team of united has had its day. Time for normal service to be resumed remembering Liverpool did it home AND abroad.
A great day."
I don't really understand this comment. Surely you'd rather Liverpool's trophy haul?They are not the most successful English club of all time though.
I bet you didn't.So I stopped reading there
These mid-table teams haven't spent as much as you.I know, why aren't all the mid-table teams putting such a run together since there's no pressure. It's like a comfort blanket I think.
Why do you do this to yourselves every year?I don't think I've seen the word 'pressure' repeated so often in such a short amount of time as on the caf lately. It's seems to have become the frantic mantra of united fans convincing themselves that what Dalglish has done so far isn't all that and he won't be able to do similar next season.
Ah the old net-spend chestnut........These mid-table teams haven't spent as much as you.
I think we'll be in with as good a shout for the top 4 as any of the other contenders bar Chelsea and United and maybe Arsenal.Why do you do this to yourselves every year?
You seem to have convinced yourself that pressure is irrelevant, and end of season form means a full season of the same next year.
And any doubters are just big meanies who don't like Liverpool.
Has the boom-bust cycle not taught you anything about misplaced bullishness?
That's true but he's not just done that, he's gotten more points since taking over than we have in the equivalent games this season and he's put a run of form together that no other team in the league have matched. No pressure helps, sure, but he does deserve plenty of credit for the job so far.He's done the first bit well. That said he was always going to improve them to 5/6.
Just following Danny Murphy's lead.I don't think I've seen the word 'pressure' repeated so often in such a short amount of time as on the caf lately. It's seems to have become the frantic mantra of united fans convincing themselves that what Dalglish has done so far isn't all that and he won't be able to do similar next season.
He has them playing well that is for certain. In a couple of the games I've seen, the goal keeper has thrown a few in but still they are on good form. I just don't see any basis for thinking they can over take City considering the amount of money/ quality players City will buy in the summer.That's true but he's not just done that, he's gotten more points since taking over than we have in the equivalent games this season and he's put a run of form together that no other team in the league have matched.

Brave yes as he was arguably Liverpools best player over the last 3 years and easily the biggest asset. Whether he wanted away or not it's a brave decision to sell him.Yes great bravery in selling a player who handed in a transfer request and wanted to leave for the last six months.
Yeah he was a big influence at Chelsea when under Mourinho and could be a successor to Kenny in a few years.Anyone else think that Steve Clarke has also had a major influence in the turn around in Liverpools fortunes?
I dont think football has changed that much and I think it's about time Liverpool went back to the style of play they had in the 80s. Football is the same game with United rightly never comprimising on entertainment since the 50s so Liverpool based their game on pass and move. I hope we go back to our roots like you lot have. Whether it brings success or not is yet to be seen.Could be right there he was a big influence at Chelsea wasn't he.
I wonder with Dalglish I mean yeah you can't argue with his experience at Liverpool. And he talks the talk and seems to say the right thing to get media/players/fans onside. But he also struggled at Newcastle and football has changed a lot since the days of his success. Not that Dalglish won't have kept a keen eye on things but we have yet to see him assemble a proper squad which he will need when it comes to competing in four competitions and keeping the squad happy, this is the major difference will be interesting to see how it pans out.....
You can't have it both ways. For years, the only reason the beloved redmen failed to win anything was being outspent and then you expect praise for wining games at home and trashing a few mid-table teams.Ah the old net-spend chestnut........
He did well at West Ham tooYeah he was a big influence at Chelsea when under Mourinho and could be a successor to Kenny in a few years.
That's interesting because it shows we can raise our game for matches we regard as big games but struggle against run of the mill teams. Not great and hope it can be fixed over the next few seasons.Top five mini-league -
1 Liverpool 14pts,
2 Man Utd 13,
3 Arsenal 12,
4 Chelsea 9,
5 Man City 8.
So if you beat everyone below you and don't beat the top four teams, you're a bunch of bottlers. If you do the opposite, you're small time and game raising. How do you win in this world?Smalltime game raisers. Twas ever thus.
United, chelsea and city are able to call on very strong experienced squads and that's where we're falling down. Glad Kenny is blooding young lads and taking a chance. Hopefully it will stand to the squad in the coming seasons.I totally agree Stick. It's the mid & bottom table teams you need to beat regularly to be in with a chance of winning. There's 90 points up for grabs from the teams outside the Top 4 (if we dont' count ourselves in that group of 4)
Twas ever thus?Smalltime game raisers. Twas ever thus.
