Just like Spurs are too, right? :rolleyes:

Spurs and Newcastle have no trophies in the locker. If Spurs finish fifth this year and lose their manager and some key players, what exactly will there be to remember from their couple of years in the sun?

This is already a season I'll remember for a very, very long time.

You don't seem to be acknowledging that many fans will disagree with this. I would imagine that many fans of Spurs, Arsenal and Chelsea would not be happy with a cup win and 8th in the league.

Will I do some rolleyes too?

Dalglish was fine in the league up till 2012, we went through a horror run of form that hopefully we're out of. If we can perform next season in the league as we have for the majority of this season & avoid a repeat of that horror run of form, we'll be there or thereabouts for the CL places next season.

There's a lot more right with Liverpool than people seemingly seem willing to accept.

The league table is measured over 38 games. Form doesn't really come into it. Liverpool were just about ok enough up til Christmas, then turned absolutely muck. These 2 together don't balance out into anything positive. The League Cup doesn't count for much as long as the big teams insist in fielding their reserves in it, Dalglish really needs to win the FA Cup to turn the season into any kind of a success.

If you're happier to finish 4th than win trophies then you're doing it wrong imo.

The League Cup only barely counts as a trophy.

PhlegmyMoses · 14-04-2012 04:21PM

You get into the CL and your best players will stay. You will sign better players. Players want to be playing in the CL. Better players give you a better chance at winning cups in the future.

If Spurs get CL football, Modric will be more inclined to stay, for example, as will Bale. If they don't, Modric will almost certainly leave in the summer, and if they continue to fail to get into the CL, so will Bale in the future.

LuckyLloyd · 14-04-2012 04:26PM

That's the problem though, your best players will still leave to go to bigger clubs who can go and maybe win the CL if you can't compete in it yourself.

Fabregas and Alonso left being in the CL to try and win the CL. Modric will at some point too. I don't see the point in being at the table and not trying to eat some steak while you're there. We weren't just in Europe to be in Europe, and I hope that when we get back to the CL we'll be good enough to give it a rattle.

PhlegmyMoses · 14-04-2012 04:32PM

The Fabregas and Alonso situations are completely different and did not boil down to Club A>Club B.

There are only really 2, maybe 3, teams that can take players from Liverpool if you were in the CL, and they can only have so many on their books.

Stagnation in the sense that you're still a cup team and aren't having any sort of crack at the league despite spending a fortune. It's more of the same in the league, if not worse. You're 15 points off fourth. Everton are above you in the league despite barely sending a cent and have had a decent crack at the FA cup as well.

And that's the point, it would seem retarded to sack someone who wins two trophies in a season. So CSF's point that winning the FA Cup will save him was justified. Because the league form for a club of Liverpool's standing will not enamour him to FSG, who are notoriously ruthless, especially when you consider how much money they have given him. They clearly aren't happy with things considering they've sacked a load of the backroom staff.

They hadn't won anything in years, the League Cup was the first silverware for 6 years at Liverpool. How can you call that stagnation? Surely the object of the exercise is to win tournaments and Liverpool have climbed the first rung of the ladder by winning one.

The League Cup hardly counts for much.

Its a start though. I think that's the point most people are trying to make.

lol.

Ask that to any team that won it.

3 trophies up for grabs every year, premiership is 2 or a 3 horse race.

So 2 trophies left, winning either or both of them is an acheivement and adds silverware to the cabinet.

It's sad you have to explain this to people

Very true, i have seen other big teams celebrate winning it like it means something to them in recent times when they went a year or two without winning a trophy

Dubit10 · 14-04-2012 05:21PM

Kenny Dalglish has taken us to two cup finals in his first full year in charge. How people want him replaced is utterly baffling. It takes time and money to build a good team and squad capable of making the top four. Let's not be Chelsea and give the man time. He's earned that right.

DB10 · 14-04-2012 05:29PM

Trophies?

Liverpool have won the formerly Milk/Coca Cola Cup and nothing else yet. Considering they spent over 100m pounds and played their first team throughout this reserve competition, whilst winning on penalties in a dire pereformance against a mid table Championship side, I wouldn't go crowing about it. In fact I'd be embarrassed and keep quiet.

Sure we might as well call the Charity Shield a trophy while were at it.

Convienent of you to omit the away victories against Stoke, Chelsea and Man City along the way to the final. It wasn't just a one off game against a Championship side. Man City took the two legged semi final very seriously, while Stoke and Stamford Bridge are very tough places to go to.

There is enough valid arguments against Dalglish out there without having to pathetically attempt to belittle the League Cup and the achievement of winning it.

FFS, "reserve competition", the first team of the then Champions of Europe and England's biggest club celebrated winning it pretty joyously in 08 or 09

The thing with the big clubs like United, Arsenal , Chelsea is , they play first team players when is needed. Not against lower league opposition like Liverpool.

It's one of the reasons Liverpool are so poor at bringing through young talent compared to the big clubs.

This is a serious discussion. I wish pictures were removed from the forum, they add nothing to it as a discussion.

The fact is Liverpool play first team players in that competition while the other clubs nurture their young players.

Liverpool have no youth coming through bar Sterling and he wants to go back to London from where he was purchased, due to family issues. Spearing is not at the level of the Big 4 clubs.

This thread is about Kenny Dalglish and Liverpool, there is a separate thread for Wenger and Arsenal.

Martin Kelly, Jay Spearing, Jonjo Shelvey, Jon Flanagan, Raheem Sterling and Jack Robinson have all featured this season.

That's more than half an XI.

Your talking b*llox.

what young players have come through the ranks at chelsea recently?? or at utd, cleverly and wellbeck are the first players to come through at utd for years and they have barely 20 games played

all top clubs should hang their heads in shame given how poor they ALL have been bringing through talent this past 10 years, gone are the days when man utd rolled the likes of beckham, nevilles, scholes off the line or liverpool had fowler, mcmanaman, redknapp, gerrard, owen
