I look at the Liverpool and I dont know what's wrong? Some very good players: Reina - One of the best keepers in the world. Johnson - Best english right back and one of the best in England. Enrique - World class. Agger - very good but injury prone. Skrtel - World class. Henderson - Has a lot of potential. Lucas - Best DM in the world. Gerrard - World class. Downing - Very good professional. Suarez - Football legend, Children of El Salvador will be singing his name to the ends of dawn. Carroll - Very good squad player. So the team is fine, is it a problem with the manager so? which makes me think we should give Dalglish another year to see what he can do.

Maybe, not on this seasons form Johnson - Best english right back and one of the best in England. not even the best right back at the club Enrique - World class. Just no Agger - very good but injury prone. Yes Skrtel - World class. One great season, 4 average ones does not make world class Henderson - Has a lot of potential. So does any young player Lucas - Best DM in the world. No Gerrard - World class. Was, not so much anymore Downing - Very good professional. His profession is footballer, so no Suarez - Football legend, Children of El Salvador will be singing his name to the ends of dawn. No they wont, good football skills but cant finish properly Carroll - Very good squad player. No, dont think anyone needs to explain why So the team is fine, is it a problem with the manager so? which makes me think we should give Dalglish another year to see what he can do.

They are all good teams, Tottenham have went from strength to strength since they won it, Chelsea won a league title since they won and United of course are the reigning EPL champions.

Notts Forest were 1 of the best clubs in the country!!Times change!! Every manager going into every club would love 3 or 4 seasons to execute a long term plan. It's just not the way of the world in football anymore. Move on from the 80s.

Johnson actually has been very good. Enrique was over rated because of the other transfers, I'm in a minority opinion on the superthread. Not a bad signing though. Henderson - I don't have a clue, I suspect he doesn't either. Tidy footballer and that's about it for £16 Million. Agger - true, he is very, very good but injury prone. Skrtel - LOL, He's like an endearing puppy, needs a good trainer, in other words, needs a brains of the operation. Lucas - well he was supposed to be crap a couple of years ago, now World class, so somewhere in the middle, though further from the crap opinion. Gerrard - in wrong position, probably due to injuries and lack of alternatives. Downing - tell him what to do and keep doing it, like Rafa would have. Otherwise it's a Dougal and Damo run around on the front lawn. The other 2 are just too obvious, though not enough for some!

Massive season next season for Suarez to prove he has what it takes to succeed as a top class finisher, which probably demands at least 15 EPL goals. In terms of Pool buying another striker, why not Carlos Tevez, seems a straightforward buy to me, or else an offer for Balotelli or some other striker whose out of favour with a manager. I don't think the lack of CL football would bother either of these too much.

The reason they wanted him was because of what he was doing at Newcastle so why sign him and then play him in a system that plays more to his weaknesses than his strengths.

You play to Suarez strengths and Carroll is ineffective. To play to Carroll you need 2 class wingers like Tonio Valencia and a left footed version of him and an ace set piece taker. Liverpool don't have 1 decent winger never mind 2 class one's and our best set piece taker, Gerrard has been out most of the season. The player bought in the summer who was renowned for his set pieces has been shíte, almercifully shíte. Carroll should never have been bought and in order for the club to move forward they may just have to cut their losses.

As much as I don't think they will sack kenny, and I don't think he'll retire, I don't know how they will trust him with a transfer budget after the carroll/henderson signings, but enrique was a solid signing.
