Since Kenny Dalglish took over the managerial hotseat at Anfield there has been great improvements made on the pitch and off the pitch.
We have bought good players with potential and hunger to win trophies. Many people have said recently Kenny has paid inflated prices for players in the two transfer windows since he has been in charge. I can see why they feel this is the case but I have news for the doubters, Liverpool fans don’t care about money. We are back playing the Liverpool way of pass and move. If we are up a couple of goals we still push forward. I can’t explain how happy I am to see this. For too many years under Houllier and Benitez we went one up and sat back the rest of the match hoping to snatch another goal on the counter attack.
Kenny has seen what many LFC fans have for years. We needed width as we played with wingers who weren’t really wingers i.e Benayoun, Kuyt, Cole, Degen etc. These players tried but their instinct was to cut inside the opposing full-back everytime. Kenny bought Downing and finally it looks like we can stretch teams more. Kenny has identified that we needed pace and bought Downing, Enrique, Suarez and Bellamy. He has also played Kuyt as a centre forward not on the right wing where Dirk did a job but was never going to be the answer on the right side of a Liverpool midfield. Enrique has also signed to fill a left-back position that has been a problem since Riise was allowed to leave the club for a nominal fee only to be replaced by Dossena or Insua.
He has cleared out the deadwood and reduced a massive squad full of players who should never have got near wearing a Liverpool shirt. At times last season I was struggling to watch my beloved Reds as they were so poor. Kenny has brought belief back to our players and supporters.
Off the pitch improvements have impressed me especially during the summer.Gone are the days of the last few years where LFC have washed their dirty linen in the press. Kenny’s press conferences are outstanding. He refuses to comment on transfer targets and any other club business that has not been completed. Under Rafa he seemed to use these opportunities to show he wasn’t happy with his transfer budget etc. I can understand his hands were tied to some extent but the great managers of the past knew that club business was done behind closed doors.
Kenny is old school and Liverpool is engrained in him.
I’m currently walking around with a permanent grin on my face, it’s almost like, alls well with the world again. I’m truly amazed at what the club have managed to do in the transfer window. We managed to address all weaknesses in the first team. Left Midfield, Left Back and quality cover up front and at Centre Half. With the addition of depth in midfield we now have a very healthy and hungry looking squad. But the thing that has really amazed me is the speed and efficiency with which the “never will be’s” have been coaxed out of Anfield. Sadly Hicks & Gillett left us with hugely overpaid players, the players bought in by Woy were disappointing, but pretty much all of the players that made my heart sank when I saw them on the pitch, are not their any more, granted that some are loaned out, but they are not a negative drain on the team any more. Whether we win lose or draw doesn’t really matter, if you do things the right way, results will take care of themselves. Apparently training has returned to the old fashioned intensity, the players look genuinely happy and you can almost see the growing bond among them. To see a hungry Liverpool team on a Saturday chasing down the ball and playing with passion and commitment, that’s all I ever want as a fan, because for me and millions of fans I would sell my granny to be able to trade places with the players.
YNWA.

what a waste of space this article is,get your facts right when you write some of this drivol
???????
Are you for real? A Bluenose maybe? a TIT for certain.
Such utter bilge. We have not seen from Dalglish yet anything approaching the excitement of the Rafa years. Pass and move is not exclusive to Liverpool. Rafa mastered it and taught LFC a lesson with it when he was manager of Valencia visiting Anfield. He also gave Barcelona and Real Madrid a beating both at Valencia and Liverpool.
Dalglish is enjoying a honeymoon from the British press because he is British. Unlike Rafa he does not have to field questions about the club’s finances and the club has other spokesmen – Henry, Ayre and Commoli who are doing some of the heavy lifting Rafa had to do on his own. Dalglish does not have a Purslow, Hicks or Gillete briefing the press against him. And Gerrard, Carragher and Bascombe have had their mouths shut.
Goofy are you a manx or a chav? Are you perhaps a tad worried that things are going to well at Anfield?
Glad your paying attention though, good luck.
To some extent I agree with goofy. What was so wrong with the style we played with when we came 2nd under Rafa? Did we not play fluid attacking football? Rafa never had the priveledge of going for his 1st choice targets with full financial backing either. I don’t think Goofy is intending to slate KK, just that he’s had it easier than Rafa ever did, he’s working with brilliant owners, and it is fact that he is treated better by the press than Rafa or even Wenger. In present tense this is a very good thing because we have all the ingredients for success and it’s happening so quickly unlike with the previous 2 managers. I just think the author has been a bit harsh on Rafa, but I won’t put Houllier in the same bracket, because everything said about Houllier was true. Not that it matters, but if Rafa had not been sacked and had the priveledge to work with our new owners, who knows how things may have been today?
finally some common sense from a reds fan,spot on Goofy!! Those were briliant points you mabe.Funny how some of our fellow reds fans forget!!
How could anyone forget these ‘brilliant’ points when he keeps posting the exact same badly phrased and spelt ‘article’ under different headers on different sites:
