King Kenny got his team selection and tactics wrong on Saturday afternoon against Man Utd.
He oped for a cautious, defensive line-up with Luis Suarez up-front as Kuyt lined up on the right
wing and youngsters Spearing and Henderson were in midfield, bizarrely at the expence of Charlie
Adam.

Form:
Liverpool: While the Reds have been unstoppable in the cups, their league form has been
questionable.
We have seen how Liverpool suffered this season without any pace and creativity from midfield.
Dalglish's preferred midfield foursome of Downing, Adam, Gerrard and Lucas will pass the ball to
death but neither is comfortable to run with the ball.
Against teams that park the bus, especially teams that come to Anfield, the lack of
unpredictability in the Liverpool play has caused the mighty Reds dearly.
What? ... No i'm not bloody offside! Meow...Liverpool fought hard
on Monday night in an attempt to take three points from Tottenham Hotspur but with no goals from
either side the highlight of the game ended up going to a little mischievous cat. The Reds played
well but just couldn't find a goal as Spurs showed some staunch defending.

Liverpool and Tottenham: Both Clubs Fail to Dare and To Do.
Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur drew 0-0 at Anfield, in a tight Premier League encounter that
neither team wanted to lose, or seemed determined enough to try and win.
With the return of Luis Suarez to the Liverpool on Monday night, having served his mammoth ban from
football, reports are that Manager Kenny Dalglish will opt to unleash the talismatic Uraguyan
striker from the bench.
Monday night's game from Anfield will see Liverpool pit their wits against 3rd-placed Spurs who are
something like 12 points ahead of Liverpool in the Premier League.
Luis Suarez is back for Liverpool, and with no other problems to contend with apart from Lucas's
long-term injury, Kenny Dalglish is in the enviable position of having a fully-fit squad available
for Monday night's game at Spurs. Having so many players to choose from is obviously a positive,
and it fosters great competition within the squad, but as Kenny admits, it can also be a
double-edged
In his press conference on Monday, Kenny Dalglish stated that Liverpool would not be buying any new
players during the January transfer window, and he was true to his word as no new players signed in
at Anfield last night. Transfer speculation is a normal and expected part of the month of January,
yet this cuts no ice with Dalglish, who once again blasted the press for daring to ask perfectly
Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish stated yesterday that the club would not be buying or selling
anyone during the January transfer window. For many fans, that was bad news, but I doubt it's
actually true. I'm sure the club is working behind the scenes to try and bring someone in, and
Wolves manager Mick McCarthy may have inadvertently confirmed that to be true.
It wasn't exactly Premiership action over the weekend but it was still a
FA Cup Party out there, nonetheless! Arsenal, of course, deserve a round
of applause for springing back from two goals down to make it 3-2 against Aston
Villa yesterday.
According to the Daily Mirror on Sunday, Manchester City have rejected an offer from Liverpool
to swap Carlos Tevez for Andy Carroll.
According to the exclusive in the newspaper, Liverpool approached Man City's Football
Administration Officer Brian Marwood with the offer 48 hours ago, just hours after beating the
Blues in the Carling Cup semi-final.
Club captain Steven Gerrard has reiterated his confidence and belief in Liverpool manager Kenny
Dalglish, and although he acknowledges that the pressure is on at the moment, Gerrard has not doubt
that Dalglish is the right man to lead Liverpool forward.In an interview with ITV Sport, Gerrard
expressed his admiration for Dalglish's willingness to put his legendary status on the line:"It
took some
Prior to victory over Man City the other night, Liverpool had been in a poor run of form, slumping
to seventh place in the league after managing only one win in six Premier League games. After such
a huge financial outlay on underperforming players, it was inevitable that questions would start to
be asked about Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish's position, but Anfield legend Steve Nicol believes
For the first time since he returned to Anfield a year ago, Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish is
under genuine pressure. After one win in the last six premier league games, the club is languishing
in seventh place, and the level of performance has arguably plummeted to a concerning low. The heat
is most definitely on, and some Liverpool fans are even calling for Dalglish's head.
Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish publicly eviscerated his players after the wretched performance
against Bolton at the weekend, and threatened to get rid of certain playres if they continued to
perform in such a disappointing manner. Dalglish didn't name names, but Anfield legend Steve Nicol
has given his thoughts about who might be on Kenny's sh1t-list.
Say, if I followed you home, would you keep me? Or at least not mace me? And would it make any
difference if I could give you Tuesday's news and notes? You don't have to answer now. Just, you
know, think about it. And at least give me a bit of warning on the mace front, if that's not too
much to ask.
"Now is the winter of our discontent."
Yikes.
Liverpool have averaged 1.00 points per game or fewer in eight months over the last four-and-a-half
seasons – eight of 46 months during this time frame. Three were in January, including this
season, with one in December.
That's how we all feel mate...If i walked into a club, thinking
and acting like i was better than everybody else, i'd most probably, within an hour and a half or
so, get battered. Which is exactly what happened to Liverpool on Saturday. They walked into
Bolton's club, acting like they were better than them, like the three points were theirs before
they'd kicked a ball and then, they were battered.
Did you know that the name Joey Barton is an anagram of the word "Wanker"? I know, it took me a
while to figure it out as well. Anyway, I think its fair to say that I have long considered that
this odius character should have been banished from the footballing world and his latest actions
have done nothing to alter my opinion.
Owen Coyle has left his side with a lot to do as they strive to get
out of the relegation zone...Liverpool make the trip to Bolton on Saturday for another Premier
League fixture. After a disappointing draw against Stoke at Anfield, the Reds will be looking to
put that behind them and take all three points from a struggling Bolton side.
Kenny Dalglish recently suggested that Steven Gerrard could be Liverpool's best player. Many fans
would agree with that, but Anfield legend Mark Lawrenson has a different view.In his weekly press
conference last week, Dalglish was asked if Gerrard was the club's greatest player. He responded:"I
wouldn't disagree.
It's a fortress, but there's just too many draws...Liverpool were
held to another draw at Anfield yesterday as they struggled to get anything past Tony Pulis's Stoke
side. The Potters played in their stereotypical way and whilst they would have been extremely happy
with the point Liverpool were left frustrated.
With five starting defenders and a further three on the bench, many Liverpool fans were surprised
by the negative approach against Stoke at Anfield yesterday. However, according to Kenny Dalglish,
the team he put out was 'dictated' to him by the circumstances of the day. Speaking after the game,
Kenny seemed to be aware of the criticism of his team selection, and provided the following

Strangely enough, this will be the first time Liverpool have had Webb this season.
Glen Johnson's dangerous two-footed lunge near the end Wednesday's victory again Manchester City
has provoked a huge debate about tackling in the game, and Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has now
weighed in with his view on the issue. I call it a 'horror tackle' because if Johnson had got it
wrong, then Lescott could've been seriously injured.
Kenny Dalglish has given the clearest indication yet that Liverpool will not be making any new
signings during the January transfer window.In his press conference earlier this morning, Dalglish
was once again overly defensive when asked simple questions about Liverpool's January transfer
activity.
Tottenham have been praised for their style of football by some of the best managers in the
game.
"They've played the best football this season," commented Sir Alex Ferguson. David Moyes said
he'd actually pay to watch this current Spurs team play.
We have had some excellent performances.
I've seen some hand-wringing and questions as to how Liverpool were lined up yesterday, especially
in the second half.
I tried to explain the set-up and the reasons for it in yesterday's match review, but pictures
always make things easier. Not a 1000 words easier, but easier nonetheless.

FA Cup Tips: Henry returns to Arsenal and 2012′s first Manchester derby - originally posted on
Soccerlens.com
Liverpool are 1.12 to beat Oldham tonight and progress into the next round of the FA Cup, and it
really should be a case of how many they win by despite their poor home record.
The Reds have won all three previous meetings between the two sides in this competition, and
although they have been eliminated at this stage in each of the last two seasons it's 88 years
since they went three consecutive seasons without making it past the third round.
