Swansea vs LFC post match

[RichC]

Spurs and Arsenal were already light years ahead of us in squad terms but seeing Newcastle finish that far ahead of us is pretty depressing.

We need to have a bloody good summer in the transfer market whoever is in charge

[danperkins]

this crap about net spend is silly ......how much did we spend this season? £over £100million

[Leyton388]

Thank **** this season is over. We need massive work in the summer to get back to even have a chance of the top 4. It's depressing seeing how far we have fallen.

[fidget]

We're so lame.

I've been going to watch Liverpool since 1965 and this is far and away the worst season, the worst team and some of the worst Liverpool players I've ever seen.

We barely have a Plan A, never mind a Plan B. Dalglish seems to be tactically clueless, obsessed with playing certain players come what may, while ignoring others. His transfers have mostly been crap, with his buy-British-where-possible policy at the root of it.

I said at the start of the season that I didn't want him back and it would all end in tears. Sadly, we've been much, much worse than I thought possible. For the first time in my life I usually expect us to lose and the team usually obliges.

His position is now untenable and he must go

[Leyton388]

Even with the **** Houllier signed we were better. This is worse than anything we had to put up with in the 90's IMO.

Kenny is still playing the "we didn't deserve it" card:

Kenny Dalglish believes Liverpool deserved to return home with at least a point after they slipped to a late 1-0 loss to Swansea City on the final day of the 2011-12 season.


Danny Graham's 86th minute goal condemned the Reds to defeat at the Liberty Stadium, despite the visitors having enjoyed sustained spells of pressure throughout the second half.

Afterwards, Dalglish told his post-match press conference: "I think after the second-half performance, the players didn't deserve what they got - the least they deserved was to come away with a draw.

"Even right at the death when there was a collision between their goalkeeper and two defenders, the ball still didn't even drop for Luis (Suarez).

"We've just got to keep - and the players have kept - believing what they're doing to be correct. The passing and the moving has at times been excellent.

"The goalkeeper made a fantastic save from big Andy's overhead kick. We've just got to keep going and maybe next year the luck will drop in for us."

He added: "It's a great credit to the players that they do keep working and do keep believing. It's the last game of the season and it would have been easy for one or two to get the Ambre Solaire out and have an easy afternoon, but they did not want to lose the game."

Liverpool were without Steven Gerrard, Martin Skrtel and Pepe Reina for the trip to Wales, but Dalglish was satisfied with the performances of those who stepped into the side in their absence.

Asked if he felt Swansea had controlled the game, the manager replied: "They had a lot of the ball, but I wouldn't say they were controlling it (the game).

"For us, we wouldn't be disappointed with anybody's performance or their efforts.

"We had a few people who weren't playing, but the most important ones were the ones who were, and I think they did as well as they possibly could and were unlucky not to get a result."

Dalglish continued: "It's a credit to the players the way they have continued to believe in what they're doing to be the right way, and I'm sure eventually I am sure it will drop for us.

"We'll need to wait until August now until we can get it out of our system a little bit."

Liverpool finish the campaign in eighth position in the Barclays Premier League table with a final tally of 52 points.

"We're not going to run away from the points tally," said Dalglish. "We'll stand up and face up to reality. We're not trying to hide behind anything and say the points tally is going to be satisfactory to anybody who works or supports Liverpool Football Club.

"I think the performances have been excellent in a lot of cases, but not the points tally. We'll try our best to correct that."

115 million spent in the space of 7 months with a net spend of 35 million and we've finished in 8th place, ahead of Fulham on GD. Our lowest PL points tally ever.

Anyone blaming FSG for this season is in denial. Commolli and Kenny's atrocious transfer activity is the root cause of what's happened this season.

£35m net for a team trying to catch up with the likes of City, Chelsea and Man Utd is peanuts and nowhere near good enough.

[little dave hedgehog]

net spend over a period of time is a useful indicator of the health of the club and intentions of the ownership, but in one single season which included a clear out and during which we spent the best part of 100 million, it's pretty irrelevant.

again with the net spend answer me this question one how much money did the owners give to dalglish to spend?
