Very very true. Hodgson didn't do well at Inter either. Hodgson is a perfect manager for a team who just got promoted from the Championship. He can turn a low calibre team into the Minnesota Wild (Lemaire era), and float them in the middle of the table for a little while. He just isn't suited to it.
Kenny on the other hand, has been out of the game a long time. However, he still lives and breathes football, and his heart still beats for Liverpool FC. I will say myself that when Rafa was sacked, and many wanted Kenny to be brought in, I was skeptic of it. I thought the fans that wanted him in were thinking more with their heart than with their heads. However, they were still right. I loved how after the match vs. Stoke, I read everywhere "interesting formation choice, and it worked against Stoke, but it won't fly against the big teams". It utterly destroyed Chelsea. Anelka, Drogba and Torres had every question answered by Agger, Carragher and Skrtel. Simply beautiful. I haven't enjoyed a match this much since the 4-1 win vs. the Mancs.
Hodgson's style was pretty much summed up by himself rubbing his face vigorously.
