The difference in both style of play and results since Kenny came along is staggering. You would think that a man with the experience of Hodgson would be able to adapt to the players at his disposal but not so. He was so patently unsuited to managing Liverpool it's not even funny.
Like Torres I've turned the page on Hodgson now. I'm glad to be shut of both of them quite honestly.

You're dead on. Hodgson was painful to watch. The team under Hodgson was painful to watch, you could see it in their body language, there was a huge sentiment of WTF are we doing?
Watching them now is amazing, its all the intangibles, its like Kenny's presence alone says to them: "Hey, you play for Liverpool, you can do anything."
