Kenny Dalgleish didn't impress me much today. Clearly an irrelevant old man. Sure he was a legendary footballer and showed himself to have managerial skill a decade ago at Blackburn, but he's not the man to take Liverpool forward. If anything an improvement in fortunes at Liverpool would do nothing but prove how unprofessional they were for not doing it for Hodgson.

I heard three stories about Dalgleish on the radio today. All painted him as a near senile old man who belongs in yesteryear.

And they are going to let him run riot with transfer funds they denied Hodgson? The Liverpool fans are now happily filing Benitez's epic failure to develop a squad as Hodgson's fault and claiming Dalgleish as the second coming. It's Rafa's squad thats currently struggling and the next few weeks will show if it's struggling because those players are sulking like the childish primadonna's we all know they are.

Well said. He clearly doesn't even know the rules when he said that Gerrard's red shouldn't have been. Idiot. As long as he's on the wrong of a result next Sunday too, eh

I don't see all the optimism from the Liverpool fans, so many are baging on about how well they played and how positive it was, how? If Hodgson hadn't been given the boot and Liverpool played like that today there wouldn't have been this optimism. United controlled the game from start to finish, Liverpool barely troubled United all game, the scoreline may have only been 1-0 but Evans did hit the post, Hernandez and Berba both missed good headed chances and Reina made 2 or 3 decent saves yet Liverpool fans where really pleased? interesting.

Just seen the United penalty. Never a pen for me. A Berbatov booking for throwing himself to the ground.

If that's the standard for giving pens, I think we should have had about 25 pens against Barca in the CL semi.

No sympathy for the scousefilth, as they have "Have a Word" Gerrard hitting the deck whenever the wind blows, and the defending was poor to give Berbatov the option of hitting the deck, but no way should that have been a pen.

I would imagine any transfer dealings will be conducted by Damien Commoli, as wasn't that why he was brought in?

if that's the case,LFC are definitely putting themselves in the brown stuff - he destroyed Spurs with most of his 'dealings' with Gareth Bale & Luca Modric being the only notable exceptions- this is the guy that persuaded Daniel Levy to sign Heurelho Gomes for example !!! most of his time was spent aguing with Martin Jol and the King or anyone worthy of coaching LFC does not need and will never allow Comolli to order them around when it comes to buying in players

It wasn't their fault. It was Howard Webbs for givng us a pen and sending Gerrard off, they must be totally blameless.

There was a lovely shot around the 65 minute mark of a scouser in the midst of a passionate "Munich" chant. Such a lovely bunch.

Re: More Football Chat : Mon Jan 10, 2011 10:01 am  

It was a pen for me, minimal contact but contact all the same, most strikers would have gone down.

The red card not so sure about, the problem is Gerrard left the floor and seemed to cock his leg back before the tackle so from Webb's perspective it must have looked quite nasty.

Utd again did not really play well but did enough to win.

Yeah going a goal down after one min and then losing your best player but still only going down one nil at Old Trafford can't see the positive about that at all.

You must be super confident about winning next Sunday now.
