Be it quality, be it luck, be it time. We need it to give Kenny time to build an identity of the side. At the moment we really don't know how to define our style of play, prior to the summer you could say pass and move was back, after this it's like, well it's a mix of hoof, and it's a mix of give the ball away and move. We know we've been shit for the vast majority of this season, two cup finals, and one win doesn't disguise that, it hasn't been as if we've been ignoring the shocking football, we know we need to improve. So what do we do? The overwhelming consensus on the coach back was we need to keep him for a year and give him a chance, and we all agreed he'll pay the price if we don't improve, but you know what, I think we will improve. We're approaching the cross roads that the Chelsea Squad did under Boas, granted the Chelsea squad are much better. But there are similarities in the sense we have old players surrounded by young ones, with the likes of Hendo, Shelvey, Carroll, Agger, Johnson, Kelly, Robinson, Suarez We now have the chance to give this relatively young team a style of play to take into the coming years, rome wasn't built in a day and sacking the manager really doesn't help with consistency, 3 Liverpool managers in the space of 18 months or so? Give me a break. I've never been a fan of the 4 year plans, but I think I realised yesterday just how far away we are, the team selection was bad, but the quality on the pitch just simply wasn't there, but you had Jay Spearing and Jordan Henderson coming up against the likes of Lampard and there really was only going to be one winner. A total mis match in midfield and the clinical edge they had when we gave the ball away was there to see, sometimes you've just got to hold your hands up and say you really deserved fuck all from the game, Carroll really only shone for me. I still believe in Kenny, I still want him to stay, but we need an identity now, we're going to face IMO another 2 years challenging for the top four and nothing more, but I want to stick, I want to give these lads another chance at it and I want to give Kenny another chance as well. We have some talent there, but we have some young talent, give them the time. Next year is big year for the club, Carroll's got to keep going, Hendo has to improve, Speo had to improve, Downing has to improve. If we add a clinical edge to our game, and an identity as to what our style of play is we'll be okay. If they prove to be shit they'll pay the price. We just seem unorganised, and like Bambi caught in the headlights half the time. Lets stick for the first time in a while, lets try and build something this summer. PS. FWIW I've heard Martinez is lined up in the summer.
