Not good when your manager does not have total control over playing matters.
The sooner the Reds are shut of the American ownership and Rick Parry the better imo.
It's actually incredible that Liverpool are even challenging for the title given the farcical backroom situation.

As I said before, Rafa's gotta go. We are in a situation now where if Torres goes down with injury, who will we have as striker? Ngog? Kuyt?
Maybe Rafa wasn't happy with signing Keano but he handled it all wrong. He is a top shelf striker and had 3 goals in his last three starts. Too much emphaisis is on Torres. Keane spent too much time trying to setup Torres, while he wasn't getting any support in return.
As a Keane fan, I'm happy that he's back to Spurs. He deserves so much better and this whole saga has proved to me how much we need a new manager. Give King Kenny a chance, hell I would take Mourniho right now!!
