Still Blaming Hodgson
Before the legions of mockers emerge to caw Keegan at King Kenny and LFC supporters once again, I just want to say I'm not too fussed with tonight's display. We showed the beginnings of a passing game and scored a great goal. The players are clearly still traumatised by Hodgson, and in the latter stages were hoofing it with gay abandon. But some talent at least showed the merest glimpse of emerging, until the equaliser went in. Nothing will happen overnight, and we are not expecting it to.
Kelly seems to have got the right-back position, and I fully expect a left-back to be the priority transfer, so that Johnson can play on the wing. Poulsen was OK, whereas Meireles, Jovanovic, Kuyt and Skrtel were found out a little during attempts at anything intricate. Lucas continues to shine. Agger still looks smooth despite being at fault twice in two games. The best keeper in the world continues to be just that. Torres looks up for the fight again.
Kenny is beginning to make his mark, but it may take a few games yet. It started in the United game (yes, Mediawatch, it is possible for a new manager to relay instructions immediately before and during the match no matter who picked the team - the four words 'keep it on the floor' pretty much transforms the team from Woy's approach) and continued for the first half hour tonight. Small steps. Relegation isn't out of the picture just yet, but we show signs of heading in the right direction.
