I lost £100 last night because I was supposed to be working in a recording studio but I wanted to watch the game.

Saturdays are the same, I've rearranged alsorts of plans so I can listen on five live to the match or go to Anfield. But not anymore this season.

one is that we are really not all that good. we have decent quality (but not exceptional) in one or two areas but that's about it. to be a bit tough on them; suarez is a magician around the box but a shocking finisher, gerrard is past his best, reina is not the keeper he used to be, carra is over the hill, the flanks are the least creative in the league.

two is that we have signed some very mediocre players for way too much money. adam, downing and maybe even henderson are nowhere near the quality we have had in the past and nowhere near what we should be getting if we want to be anything other than an upper mid-table team.

three is slightly more generous and is tiredness. we've been playing a lot of games recently and collapsing in the last 15 mins of a game is a classic sign of fatigue. what's more worrying is that we have some serious fixture congestion coming up and we don't have any kind of strength in depth to keep players fresh.

now and again we can drag ourselves up to a good performance as we saw in the derby, but sadly all that does is make us believe that everything is ok. time is not really going to make it much better, and as much as i love kenny i really don't think his management skills are as good as we would like them to be and try and believe them to be. the cup runs are great, of course - but lets remember we struggled against championship opposition in the carling cup final and won on the lottery of penalties.

I just don't know why he went mostly British when there were better and cheaper talents in Europe, Africa and S.America. Look at who Newcastle bought to replace Carroll and he's scoring for fun. He and Commolli could have got him instead of Carroll. Ten years away from management I think have limited his scope to the British Isles only and what we're seeing now is the outcome.

Because of what he had accomplished both as a player and first spell as manager here, I still want him to be in charge for another 12 months. If we're still a mid table club this time next year, Henry should give him the sack or ask him to resign. I hate to see this legend of ours being continously bashed by fans and media.

I do partially agree with you, but Kenny most not take all the blame, mistakes were made I agree in regrading to signings, but the players must take the full blame, their attitudes and efforts do not matter how average that they might be, but their efforts must be questioned, apart from young Spearing, the rest of the player were effortless, they all wanted to be Suarez, too much fancy football forgetting the basic professional football  on how to kill the game off, and not giving the opposition any chance of any come back. QPR come back is the best of the season with 13 minutes left scored three badly defended goals, it is an embarrassment. Enrique was asleep and as always when to come to defending.
Kenny ought to turn to youth players a give them a run in first team, and drop the effortless first team players.
