Post-mortem Northampton

[Buzzo]

imagine what Torres is thinking

"Thats me 6 goals behind Ngog this season".

[Daniel 7]

Its not the managers fault. We wanted him to play the kids and the fringe players and thats what he did. Its their fault for not performing

Bit simplistic, there's more to it than that. They're youngsters who need managing and guidance. They SHOULD be good enough to beat Northampton.

[Leyton388]

We all dream of a team of Kenny's

The only kids he gave a real chance to are Wilson, who played out of position, Pacheco who played out of position, and Spearing who's crap.

Ecclestone, Amoo, Ince and Shelvey were rotting on the bench. Spearing and Ngog don't qualify as youngsters, been in the first team games often enough. So it is mainly his fault for not trying the youngsters. Specially Shelvey with Spearing.

I said this in the other thread and stand by it

Worst start for 18 years in the league

Fail to win Saturday and its the worst start for over 50 years (since we got relegated in the 50's)

Out of the League Cup by a side 17th in League 2 (or 3rd from bottom in the 4th division for any old arses like me out there)

He NEVER should have been appointed and how the **** we overlooked Kenny for him is beyond ****ing belief

[Kenneth]

I know i posted this on the match thread, but it is really quite nice, and vaguely topical.

[Lecter]

Molby was blaming Rafa due to the squad we had left and available for this game.

I think that is harsh as whilst he did draft poor players in, he also made a profit in the transfer market for 4 windows running.

Soto up front = Rafa's fault.
Goalkeeper signed by Roy = Rafa's fault.
Pacheco, star of recent international tournament, gash tonight = Rafa's fault.
I could go on, but I can't be arsed.

[Maxiedge]

It's not about the result or going out of the Carling Cup. It's the fact the a 2nd division side has come to Anfield, 17th in their table, low on confidence but still fancied their chances against us. We're such a soft touch it's sickening.

[MrMichael]

Is it silly though?

Yeah, it is just a bit.

5 games in the league. 3 against teams that will finish in the top 4. We've been very poor, but we've really just carried on the form of last season. Clubs like Newcastle sack managers after 6 games, for all the good it does them.

Yep, shocking. But as I said, its not like its a unique result in our history.

Nope, he probably shouldn't have been in an ideal world. But we're not living on one of those, our club is in a right mess, nobody with any sense would take over.... and as for kenny, well, he's not been in management for what, about a decade, putting romanticism aside just for one moment there is absolutely no guarantee whatsoever we'd be doing any better at all with him at the helm.

[DannyMan2006]

If someone asked about my opinion then I would sack Roy and give the job to José Segura who know our youth team players and the squad probably better than anyone else at the club.

He know our weaknesses and our strengths and he play a positive pass and move style football.

He won the league and cup in Greece with Olympiakos so he isn't exactly a rookie either.

You're not thinking long term.

He is a great coach for us and I want him to remain as that. Kenny is ideal for the Academy role and should stay there.

We needed someone from the outside to do a job until we get new owners in. If the outsider does well, then maybe he earns a shot. If he doesn't, then we get a new manager.

Yes but he is the manager, its his job to make them play together

The fringe players are **** and so are the youngsters. The squad is pretty **** to be honest.

[Craig_H]

Whether he should or shouldnt be sacked, it's never going to happen. They bent over backwards and paid out the money through gritted teeth, to get rid of rafa. They aint gonna pay out again.
