View on the Dethroning of a King and the possible future manager

For a Liverpool supporter, yesterday was a day of mixed emotions, as King Kenny got dethroned from the Anfield kingdom for a second time. But on the positive side, four of the Liverpool players were named in the England squad for the Euros. Those that were named were Steven Gerrard, Glen Johnson, Stewart Downing and a surprise inclusion Andy Carroll, with Jordan Henderson named as a back-up and Gerrard given the honour of leading his country.

Firstly in my honest opinion I wanted to see Dalglish get sacked, even though I was hoping he would bring us back to the glory days. The results this side has been getting in the league has been very frustrating to watch this season, one game they will be thrashing a team like Chelsea then the next game they are hopeless to a lower team(eg, Swansea no disrespect to them). Also the lack of finishing from this side has been shocking for the amount of chances created. It was obvious for all to see that Kenny has lost his touch in the management, as he was given 100mil to spend in the last summer in which he chose to go out and buy British players, who have been inconsistent this whole season and definitely not worth the money spent. Also his tactics were also questionable at times, especially with the teams he keeps naming, such as naming the youngster Jordan Henderson for almost every and in most of the time he been in a position that he’s definitely not used. This was a big mistake as he had Kuyt and Maxi on the bench and unused, and these two are more known wingers and more experienced than Henderson.

There have already been a lot rumours on who will take the vacant hot seat at Anfield, with the following people being linked:

•  The Wigan boss Roberto Martinez heavily linked, in my opinion not suited for the Liverpool job as he would be similar to Roy Hodgson.
•  The former Reds boss Rafa Benitez, who I personally want to see back as I thought he was a master tactician and new the right players to buy. Most of his buys are still at Liverpool and are the key members of the squad now (Lucas, Agger, Skrtel, Johnson, Reina), he also brought the likes of Macherano, the legend Xabi Alonso and former Kop idol Fernando Torres. It would be perfect for him to return now.
• The recently sacked Chelsea manger Andres Villas Boas (AVB). Even before he was appointed at Chelsea we rumoured to be interested in him, before Kenny was given the full time role. I was hoping he would be our manager back then, but I wouldn’t mind if he was given the role at Liverpool now.

New York Traffic captured in painting

This is my first ever blog, I just thought I might try and give blogging a go. I really don’t know what I’m going to write about so, on this blog I might just write about the last day of the Premier League.

So the only thing that I was concerned about today was the finale to the most epic Barclays Premier League season ever. Even though the team I dearly support had its worst ever season in a long time, that being Liverpool. I was eagerly fixed on the tv screen, watching City against QPR, and rooting City on to clinch the title. I thought this title race could not get more excited but was I wrong, because United were almost into their celebrations at full-time in their game, as city were trailing QPR with only 5 added minutes left. But City pulled off the biggest heist in their history to record their title in 40-odd years. The funniest this thing I say was watching the local news, and seeing Fergie’s and Phil Jones (who was topless at the time in the middle of some early celebrations) just when City hit the winner. This is was especially satisfying because I’m a Liverpool supporter, and being that hate anything to do with Fergie and United. This was the only real positive from liverpool supporter’s perspective today.
