Liverpool Stoke post game waking up thread

[Shaggy]

I don't think FSG will accept this to be honest.

[Gibbo]

I don't see why Carroll is getting stick again. I don't think he did anything wrong, he just didn't get service.

I think he played okay, just don't understand why he's always on the ground, when he is quite clearly a lot stronger than that.

[Daniel 7]

Carroll is hindrance rather than help in the box. Twice today he blocked on target shots and continues to look sad and bemused. He made his reputation as a big, bustling centre forward - he should stop taking it from the centre backs and start dishing it out again.

Is he actually playing with ice on his boots as well? He looks like me at Deesside Ice Rink

I guess the easiest question a manager should ask themselves is (and I admit its too simplistic)..........given the opportunity, would Kenny spend the money on Downing and Carroll tomorrow ?

The scary question is will we have that kind of money available again to spend on players???

[Icon]

The crossing was awful - Enrique had a stinker in that area.
Johnson tried fair play but the rest of the lads just didn't show up for the pick up.

if anyone gave us 20m for the pair now I would snap there hands off.

tbh they have been worse than most expected, and we expected **** all

As much as I admire, respect and love him for coming back and lifting us out of the Roy Hodgson depression, I almost wish it had stayed as that, so we could look back fondly on what he did for us when we all needed it most as fans.

The vision of the team is muddled, the syle of play outdated and unimaginative. The signings have been catastrophic - Carroll and Downing are amongst the worst value signings made in the history of football.

We aren't entertaining, we aren't threatening, we aren't effective at anything. We have bought players for roles they just don't seem to be able to perform. Sure, we're a few points off and but for a few hit crossbars and luck going our way, we might be challenging for fourth - but really, should that be the limit of out ambitions?

Maybe I'm venting, but 7 draws at home is what did for previous managers, and Roy's home record was comparable, if not slightly better.

I don't want to see the post match interview, because if I hear how Kenny's pleased with the efforts of the teammagain, I fear my head might well pop.

it breaks my heart, but i'm starting to be able to see the above as not crazy. would be one thing if he'd won us a couple of things already since his return, but the tactics and the signings... i just don't know.

still, he's our guy and he needs backing. he deserves to able to at least try and turn it around. something most of us regret that benitez never had.

[Gibbo]

a striker, a DM and AM/Winger but have to be good signings.

This today was pathetic and all (Skrtel and GJ excluded) our players should be ashamed of that performance.

The thing is Mos I don't think we have the transfer kitty for the three.

We need to sort something out.

[Mostar]

I don't think FSG will accept this to be honest.

Aye.

They can't as their investment is losing value if they leave things status quo but the question is who will decide which players we bring in.

If Carroll, Downing, Hendo etc were Kenny's calls I cannot see them trusting him much with next purchases.

Hhmm.

[Suarez]

I don't see why Carroll is getting stick again. I don't think he did anything wrong, he just didn't get service.

He's the most expensive signing in our history and we're short of goals, he's going to get lots of stick because of that.

Is this the bit where I say "I told you so"?

[Baracus]

Yes!....Yes!!...Yes!!!

WooHoo...we got a 1pt more then we had at 2.59pm. Easy...Easy..Easy.

Put Glen at No.2 in MOM, because of his effort, although his delivery was too random at time, he at least looked bothered to try.
Enrique really ****ing annoyed me with his over the halfway-performance today for some reason.

[Gibbo]

Aye.

Brings back the point I made in the match thread though.

how does our purchasing actually work, is it a mixture of Kenny and Commolli or does Kenny Or Commolli make all of the decisions.

I thought Commolli was meant to be scouting abroad, does he try and buy a foreigner and Kenny says no I want English? Who's has the authority to actually buy someone.
