The recurring problem is finishing. If a side defends well, creates a lot of chances and controls possession well, there is very little more a manager can do other than get on the field and put the chances in himself. He's tried pretty much every forward partnership possible, we can't get it in the net, which brings me more to the transfer policy.

As I said, I think Kenny is doing so many things right in his management and tactics; however, he and/or Comolli haven't signed well and it's really limiting our results. Kenny isn't faultless, of course not, and he continues to make mistakes, it happens, I just feel we're being punished for ours more than any other sides in the league.


Dalgleish was from a forgotten era and is behind the times when it comes to management. His signings have been awful and Comolli being paid money by Liverpool to do the job he does is absolutely comical. I think you were very bullish about his abilities when you signed him, were you not?

I'd even go as far as saying Everton will humiliate Liverpool on Tuesday, but there is the little problem of Dirk Kuyt and Liverpool being the luckiest team the world has ever seen, so I've no doubt you'll fluke a win.

Go on then, I'll bite; what's outdated about Kenny's tactics? Go on, I'd really like to read it. I guess us being the luckiest means that Everton are the unluckiest? Dear oh dear.

[quote="sanjunien"]quite agree but who would you suggest would do a better job for England ?


I refer the Honourable Gentleman to my shortlist on page 443 of this thread, to do a better job than the Twitching Cockney

My money's on Gary Barlow. After doing charity walks up Kilamanjaro, organising Children in Need concerts, Queen's Diamond Jubilee concert, Queen's Diamond Jubilee song (with Lloyd Webber), the management of England's football team will be a mere bagatelle (mark my words, Gary Barlow wants to take over the world...and he wants a knighthood by the time he's 50......you heard it here first).

And so you aim towards the sky,
And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....

I'd be inclined to be believe he's refering to Dalglish's transfer policy of bizarrely believing that signing British players is the way forward, similar to what he did 25 years ago when he signed Barnes/Beardsley/Houghton/Aldridge.

It worked then, but won't now, because football has moved on, and this is probably what the poster meant by Kenny being out of date.

As for Tuesday's derby, would an Everton win finally get even Kenny's loyalist followers questioning his future at the club??......(Not that I see it happening - It has a draw written all over it).
