Get Behind The Team

**LFCDynamic** · 25-3-12,16:58

When Kenny came in last Jan, he commanded respect, the players started taking the blame for their mistakes instead of the manager alone. He brought the fans together, he gave a sense of hope, he brought back the pride of LFC. The pride that a red must have, when they sing Y.N.W.A. With him, he brought back the memories, of the glorious past... As we've progressed, improved from a certain Roy Hodgson era, we've accomplished far more than any would have thought possible at that time. No one believed or even hoped (at that point in time) for us to have won some silverware this year and would have had a squad of this strength, performing exceptionally well.

Yes, after the brilliant performances we've been putting in we're not getting the results. I'm not going to try and justify that. I am not a football pundit, just a regular poster here. But, what I do know, is many of the fans here have forgotten the progress we've made over such a short span in time. Though it feels like a long time since Kenny took over, it's only 1 and a half seasons. He's brought in 7 new faces, who are still understanding each other and has set up a squad and a platform upon which we can build something.

Whether Kenny is the right man to build on the platform or not, I don't know. But, the respect that the fans showed the manager, the atmosphere around Anfield, the ability of the 12th man, is certainly disintegrating rapidly. While, sacking Kenny, is a simple call 4:1 of the majority on here are asking for, is that really the way to move forward? You talk about players not coming in due to lack of CL, will we get a manager the caliber of Kenny or better? We need continuity. Sacking and packing managers every now and then is not the right way to bring that about. S'ness destroyed our continuity, we can't let that happen again. So please get behind the team and manager for one more season!

I dont want kenny gone and i'm in favour of giving managers time to prove themselves.But there are some worrying aspects.The fact that our resent form is due to the addition of new faces is a lame arguement as we played better foorball when they were bedding in and as the season has progressed our footy has become worse.Some of his recruits are looking bad and they are persisted with irrespective of their current form.We are having same problems again and again and there seems to be no change in pattern and we seem to be loosing our fight all too easily.Then again i know changing manager is the easier solution but not always the correct one- but unless kenny turns things around and does it pretty quickly its going to be a bumpy ride.The fand booed the team at anfield yesterday and nothing will hurt me more than a club legend like kenny being booed or sacked as a result of a fan uproaring.Hope it doesnt come to end like that

**AlessoAfrojackAvicii** · 25-3-12,17:52

I'm behind the team, not the manager.

**CKReds1892** · 25-3-12,18:24

No this is wrong as supporter we must hate the team the manager and everything to do with Liverpool

I find it hard to be hard supporting the team, but not the manager....Can't be done

I always thought Liverpool were special, not really we are just like any other team.

**Shriekback** · 25-3-12,19:00

I will always support the team i have been doing that since i was 8 but to be honest i don't believe Kenny is good enough to get us back into the top 4, his tactics and overall signings are appalling.

**christonabendybus** · 25-3-12,19:04

Believe it or not, I've been talking to about 8 or 9 Liverpool fans and they know that they have to be patient, despite the **** results. It's just some on these forums (and other little pockets of wonder on the internet) with let's-*******-sack-everyone issues.

**OldSniperwolfy96** · 25-3-12,19:07

Kenny will turn it around, he did it when he first came and can do it again

**FightCloob** · 25-3-12,19:10

Give us something to get behind. Give us a reason to believe you are busting a gut to get results.

The gutsiest player I saw yesterday was a 17 year old who's weekly wage is loose pocket change to the average squad member.

As for the manager, stop making BS excuses for the team and yourself. Respect cuts both ways...and I don't feel respected by the club at this moment.

**BringRAFAback** · 25-3-12,19:14

I want Rafa back. But:

I support Liverpool Football Club. All aspects, i.e. Managers/players/Acedemy/staff

Imposible to say u support Liverpool but, just the manager or just the players. Catch a grip

The team got booed at the final whistle yesterday and the atmosphere at anfield was no different from stamford bridge.Not sure if they are really honest with you.Of course,majority don't want kenny sacked now as it will be detrimental but there are quite a number who think it might be best for kenny to leave this summer if this form continues.

They all don't think it would be any better to sack him any time this year. It's been **** and I'm not entirely sure the players give one either, but changing the manager after just over a year is stalling everything again. Liverpool will have New Manager Syndrome for a couple of months with great results and then a new system will be implemented and it'll be up and down and up and down and up and down etc etc. I'd much rather see what happens over 2 full seasons than just 1. And I'm not expecting every player to be around a la January either.

In essence: to hell am I happy, but I'll wait.

**Bigcliff** · 26-3-12,12:25

We've lost 5 of our last 6 league games. That's just appalling, including a loss at home to a team who will probably be relegated and conceding another 3 goals in 12 minutes against anohter team that will probably be relegated.

There's no real need for positivity IMO. Just accept that we're ***** and that we have the chance to sort it out during the summer.

**maradona4liverpool** · 26-3-12,13:31

you have got to have something to get behind, only a certain amount of times can a fan cheer, shout and be optimistic about the team but the poor results soon get you down and have the effects, fans dont wanna feel down, kenny doesnt want to feel down and the players dont wanna feel down but facts are that we are down and we have to find a solution to bring the club back to life so to speak, what that solution is only the manager, team and club have the power to find it...

personally i think people need to stop making excuses for a start with because the fans arent stupid, so trying to pull the wool over fans eyes isnt the best way to go in this difficult period, other teams such as everton have played 4 games in 11 days or something like that and they have done fine with a smaller squad..

its now time for everyone involved in the club to look in the mirror and be honest with themselves and then come out and be honest with the fans because we arent daft (well most of us) and the longer the excuses go on the fans WILL eventually turn..

Well the bits I highlighted in bold were utterly ridiculous.

We're doing worse in the league than last season (both in terms on points and position), our performances - in the main - have been utterly toothless this season, and not one of them have got close to the performances last season under KK v Fulham, Man City, or Man U. The squad is probably the same or weaker than before the summer - with our midfield awful in comparison, but our left back better, and possibly forward line better (although at least you could rely on Ngog to be fit, as good as Bellamy has been when he's played, it's been a big when.) And before (and during) the season the owners, management, and players all said that compared to the CL, neither cup competition is important, so it is a bit odd to celebrate winning the CC, a competition that many Liverpool fans have ridiculed for years, when we haven't got a hope of the fourth CL spot.

criticism of kenny is somehow interpreted as being not loyal to the club, being disrespectful or an armchair supporter or wanting him sacked

Yeah, I'm used to that on this forum but... some of his statement just looked like they were there to get a reaction, they were so off the wall. Ho hum.

It's quite pathetic isn't it.

The issue with employing Kenny always had to be the emotion related to the man, it's becoming somewhat evident already.

**Vortigen** · 26-3-12,16:09

I don't think sacking Kenny this season will fix anything. It would probably make things worse. But I do think he needs to take a hard look at his tactics and he needs to be open to an alternative approach. Being an intelligent man, I think he realizes this himself.

I am only hoping come next season Adam and Henderson are not automatic starters, and we have a real right winger and a decent striker in the squad. He also needs to motivate our players to get in the damn box. If our strategy is to whip the ball in from the wings, then we need bodies in there to get on the end of the crosses. This has been a problem all season, but it still hasn't been addressed. I just cannot understand that. So frustrating!

**gingeZizou82** · 26-3-12,16:11

I sent this email to the players:

Dear players,

Please turn up and put the effort in every game.

Love,

Gingezizou82

When they do that fans will back them 100% but at the minute some feel they are getting mugged off by some pampered millionaires who can't be a**** and are having to watch the manager get the brunt of it.

**bernie123** · 26-3-12,16:20

KK deserves respect for everything he has done for this football club, not just since being Manager again but his previous playing and managerial stint and especially his actions during Hillsborough. Any so called fan slagging him off needs to take a long hard look at themselves. I agree results have not been good enough and if something is to change in the summer then so be it. Slagging off the legend that is our manager who gives 100% for this club day in day out is pathetic. I am honored KK played and managed/s our club and hope he does make us a force once again. Why would sacking KK now be good for the club? Ridiculous statement. As stated before if the owners feel different in the summer then let it be done with the dignity and with the respect KK deserves and has earnt. Not pathetic boo boys calling for his head on chat forums and the radio.

They LIED to you. Only Kenny's fans are happy with how he has managed the team and not liverpool FC fans. Fans want good results, don't like lies (bad luck, tiredness). The target was top 4 and we are not near it. This target was clear to everybody, and they agreed. The money for whoever he wanted was there. He is failing. I will never hate him but tbh, he has failed. We love u Kenny

**Marco9** · 26-3-12,16:28

Yes we should, but what Dalglish is doing with the club is a disgrace, he's destroying it. I've been a LFC supporter for a long time now and I don't know how you see it but for me the 7th place ( we could easily get out of the top 10 ) is like getting relegated to this club. It can happen one season that we don't have CL fooball, but after 3 years and investigating (wasting) over 100M. I except a bit more thanbeing 28 points away from the 1st place after 30 games.
