On Saturday afternoon Kenny Dalglish stood, head in hands, frustrated at his teams failure to turn po se sion and chances into goals. It was like Deja Vu all over again. Liverpool having all of the ball, all of the chances, let still losing to smaller teams at Anfield. To compound matters, he is not longer fighting for forth place. He is fighting to keep grip on his crown.Two years ago it would have been mad to question King Kenny, a legend at Anfield, a man a sociated with the glory days of the past, with the league titles and the champions league victories of the 80s. A year on it would have Nigel Warrior Jersey been even madder. He was not just a man who represented Liverpools past, but its future. Early signs were encouraging to say the least, with his team shooting up the league despite the absence of a certain Fernando Torres. The Kop became even more excited and enthralled by Dalglishs reign when they announced the signings of Jose Enrique, Charlie Adam and Jordan Henderson in the summer months. He had bought short term succe s in the 2010/2011 season, and looked as though he would bring long term succe Drew Lock Jersey s, through the use of young British players.However, it has been these players, initially the symbols of Liverpools future back in the top four of English, and perhaps European football, that have become symbolic of Dalglishs failings. One of the main criticisms of Rafael Benitez was his transfer policy, his spending put the club in a great deal of debt and created the (mild) threat of administration in September 2011. Nonethele s, the likes of Fernando Torres, Martin Skrtel and Pepe Riena were all signed by him. Also, one has to bare in mind the money he brought in; Fernando Torres and Xabi Alonso combined equate to 75 Million transfer income. Although the Spaniard spent a great deal, he bought in record transfer fees, whilst also keeping Liverpool in Europes elite competition.Dalglishs signings, conversly, have very little potentially sell-on value. Jordan Henderson seems extremely overprices, baring in mind that much of his season has been spent anonymously standing in and around the center circle. Meanwhile Charlie Adam has been mixed, whilst there have been great pa ses he has not controlled the tempo of games in the same way that he did at Blackpool. He no longer takes games by the scruff of the neck and says; rightthatsit, Im winning this thing. Andy Carroll have proven a disaster, costing 7 million per goal. Meanwhile Luis Suarez could becharacterized as a good signing, he has contributed very well going forward and, when he has played, has been one of the best players in the league. But perhaps the most important aspect of that sentence is when he has played. Suarez has mi sed so much of this season due to injury Lofa Tatupu Jersey and suspension, and his club can ill-afford to lose him in big games. He is a brilliant player, but one that causes controversy. One could call him a poor mans Mario Ballotelli. He doesnt have the Italians skill, and is hated because of the controversy he creates whereas Super Mario is generally adored for such controversy.One saving grace for Dalglish is the signing of Jose Enrique, who has proven to be a superb addition to the squad and has been po sibly the left back of the season. Those defending Dalglish might also point to Liverpools cup runs,compromisinga Carling Cup when that ended the long trophy wait, and a potential FA Cup final, should they overcome Everton in the Wembley derby. Whilst these are achievements, nowadays in football league positions are more valuable then cups, without doubt. This is perfectly shown by comparing Liverpool and Arsenal. Arsene Wengers side are sitting 3rd in the league, but will (barring a run of Rasheem Green Jersey unbelievably poor form for both the Manchester clubs) face yet another trophyle s season. However, there fans are without doubt happier than followers of Liverpool, and have considerably more confidence in their manager.Should Dalglish, therefore, be sacked? Looking at Liverpools season, one would have to say that it represents some Michael Dickson Jersey concrete succe s, there isundoubtedlyhope for the future, if he can make the right signings. But that appears to be a very big If. One must alsoanalysethe quote there isundoubtedlyhope for the future. Could it not, equally, be said that Andre Villas Boas side had hope for the future? He had bought in young, exciting prospects and was taking Chelsea through an exciting transition. In football nowadays every manager may want and need time. But fans, andchairmenalike, are growing impatient. Whether fair or unfair, regardle s of his legendary status, Liverpools new owners would have to remove Dalgilish from his role of manager if potential succe s does not turn into concrete succe s soon.
