Exactly, don't think anyone is saying Andy has become a success because of one goal. If he is improving, I'm happy to go along and pat him on the back.

Yes but don't forget, when Maxi came to us in the Jan transfer, he was missing many scoring opportunities too under Rafa - shots were saved etc. I'm always surprised people forget that and it was only under Kenny that he started scoring (to the extent one pundit said he gave Kenny his job).

So for some players, it takes time. It shows that Maxi has settled in well.

Any rumour that Maxi is leaving? I thought he is happy to be a squad player (and that's not insulting him).

yes, tat's y they often appear to be able to score tap-ins (remember kyut scored tat hat-trick of tap-ins against man utd?) or at least get themselve into score position...

good to see both johnson n agger r back...
not only our defense looks better with agger, he has oso created both the winning goal last nite and equaliser against villa...

Not me still

Didn't managed to watch the game prolly waiting only for the FA cup only.

At least good to rest those stars for that game.

AC hero ??? My foot He almost scored an own goal with his back header.Luckily our goalie made the save.

AC seems to play better only when he leads the line only. Maybe LS dazzles him too much with his skills and dribbling..

To me Maxi is the real hero . He has never fail to deliver. Why oh why KK does not play more of him ????


Guys I am glad we won this game but we paid a high price for it . We are defnitely having a crisis in the goalkeeping dept . With 2 goalkeepeers suspended , I wonder what KK is going to do for the FA Cup semifinal with Everton.

He may have to play a 5 - 4 - 1 formation against Everton .

I hope our ladss will contine to raise the occassion once again for the next match and prove us wrong.

For those who miss the match

I think it was quoted from Maxi himself that he would like to return home to Argentina once this season ends.

His home is Italy? I read somewhere his next destination is Italy as LFC did not offer him a new contract attractive enough to make him extend his stay. He has only 12 months left on his contract and LFC will have to sell him quick if they dun want him to walk away on a bosman and lose money.

Last I read was his desire to return to Newell's Old Boys and made a verbal agreement with their president.

Rodríguez told the Argentinian newspaper La Capital: "When I left here, I knew I was coming back. The president [Guillermo Lorente] called me and I said yes. Now it depends on the contract I have in Liverpool, maybe that can be loosened a little."

Heads starting to roll at LFC ?

For a club like Liverpool, now is the time to step up the recruitment process of next season. It's April and it's time to sound out players and clubs. For us to be without the guy running the transfer business, I think it could be a sign that Kenny Dalglish might be asked to step aside at the end of the season. Comolli and Dalglish have always worked as a team for recuiting of players. I think it will be very difficult for KD to be planning for next season now.

Perhaps the owners are preparing a clean sheet for the new boss and let the new boss run his own transfer policy and do his own recruitment. Despite the lack of success in recent seasons, Liverpool has consistently been in the top 10 most profitable clubs of the world. We will have the money to buy good players but we can't afford years of wasteful recruitment anymore. Thankfully, we didn't really spend a lot of money on Carroll.

Just back from KL covering the British PM's visit...... met some of the entourage accompanying him including a board member of LFC..... he says heads will roll but not KD's as he is deemed an "untouchable" by the owners..... there are plans to move KD upstairs and bring in a new manager whom they have identified and having discussions.

JC will be taking on coaching duties next season...... dunno if they still want him to play.

All transfer projects currently ongoing will be put on hold..... LFC were already in talks with some players whom they want for next season.

LFC have the funds to spend but it will not be given to anyone to spend freely...... it will be disbursed collectively by a team tasked with the transfer project.

These angmo are damn talkative...... himself volunteered all this info without me asking

Could be true.

In UK now, the press and footie magazines are all reporting that the American owners would meet with KD at end of season as to why the team is so poor in the league. They have already stated that the minimum is Champions League qualification. As to whether KD head will roll is debatable.

It's reported that their top targets are Klopp of Dortmund and Paul Lambert of Norwich.

Tom Werner on Comolli decision

Tom, the news this morning that Damien Comolli is leaving the club will have come as a surprise to many fans. Can you explain why the decision was taken?

I think it's fair to say no supporter would be delighted with the results we've achieved this year. We feel we are a club that needs to be perceived as the strongest club in football and we want to get there. Frankly, we make these decisions with a great deal of care because it's our track record in Boston to give people authority and we've had great success with our manager, who was there for eight years, and our general manager, so we prefer stability. But when it's time to act, we need to act. We're coming close to the end of the season and the transfer window for the summer, and we felt it was important to make this change expeditiously.

In light of Damien's departure, do you still think there is a need for a director of football at this club?

We're still confident the structure we've discussed is the right structure. That doesn't mean we won't look at tweaking it, but we feel a collective group of people making football decisions is healthy. The debate is healthy. Part of the reason we made this decision now is because we want to start the process of finding an excellent replacement.

Do you have a candidate in mind for the role?

We don't have any specific candidates in mind. Part of the reason we made this decision yesterday was to be in the best possible position to move forward as quickly as possible.

Is Damien's departure a reflection that the ownership group were unhappy with the return on player investment?

I would say we certainly have the resources to compete with anybody in football. I wouldn't want to get specific about any particular decision that's been made. We feel there is enough talent on the pitch to win and, as I said, we've been dissatisfied, as most supporters have been, with the results so far. But we're also talking about the future - we have a strategy we need implemented and we felt Damien was probably not the right person to implement that strategy.

Does Damien Comolli's departure have any impact upon Kenny Dalglish's position as manager?

Absolutely not. We've got great confidence in Kenny. We feel the team is going to make strides in the future and he enjoys our full support.

Do you envisage any other changes in the senior management of the club?

We do not. It's a good question. We believe the senior management is very strong, Ian Ayre is an outstanding managing director. His charge is to raise revenue so that we can put the resources into strengthening our football club. We've got great confidence in the other people in football operations, and so the answer is there will be no future changes of significance.

In terms of transfer activity this summer, will Damien's departure affect plans that are already underway?

We've had a strategy that we have agreed on. There was some disconnect on the implementation of that. That strategy is a strong one and it will continue. We need to build a strong system under the first team. We're hard at work identifying transfer targets and we will be better next year.

Finally, as chairman of Liverpool Football Club, do you have a message for the supporters ahead of the very important game on Saturday?

We're all excited about this match. We certainly feel the team is healthy and the team is committed. We just attended a practice where they are excited about returning to Wembley. There's only one team in England that has the possibility of winning this cup and the Carling Cup, and I think our supporters around the world should feel very confident.
