LOL - Souness!! I'm sure Everton fans would be delighted!

I've just seen Dalglish saying he wouldn't swap the Carling Cup win for anything but that win was almost a colossal embarassment for Liverpool. Had Cardiff held their bottle during the shoot out, or Kenny Miller taken his late chance, it would have been an unmitigated disaster. To say they stuttered to that win would be a monolithic understatement. Plus the way they celebrated was cringewrothy. They should have been ashamed they had to just squeeze through on penalties against such poor opposition. However, had that been the stepping stone for greater things I think it wouldn't have mattered. I guess the woeful league form from that point onwards has been the straw that broke the camel's back. Still never nice to see someone go after one season as sometimes it can take a while to break new players in. From watching Sky Sports Liverpool fans seem to have mixed views - some recognising it was time for a change whilst others are furious. The problem is if the new man comes in and fails will the old chants of 'Dalglish' resurface? If anything it may have been better to give him another season so if he continued to fail at least then it may have been more cut and dried. But then that season would also be a write off too and when their owners have invested so heavily I guess that's unacceptable.

However, one thing that always baffled me was when he played Suarez as a lone striker - a complete midget who likes to drop deep and run the channels?!? I'm sure that confused most people, except opposition centre backs who probably could have got their deck chairs out and had a rest

And his media relations were abysmal, particulalry the Suarez thing when he was a car crash of epic proportions. As good as he was around the time of Hillsborough he was equally bad with that one.


SO - within a week of the season ending two managers sacked already. Should be an intersting close season. Will Fergie be next? :-))
