Yes, I actually do! Anyway, I've put Roy's record for the beginning of last season 'til his departureagainst Kenny's this season so far, both in the league, below:It's the 9 losses in the league vs. 3 for Kenny that stands out (1 being the calamity at Spurs!). My conclusion is that we need to turn the 6 home draws into wins! (Obvious!!)These 12 dropped points would have us 2 behind the leaders. Evenif we'd won 4 of them, we'd still be in contention. When you think backto all those super saves by keepers...

Ray, you realise what you've done. After their certain capitulation against the Mancs we'll have Steve Kean come out and tell us Mr Tarantino has even been on his mobile giving him his support, as, coincidentally, has Mr Ferguson.
Tes, the Blackburn fans should be ashamed of themselves for their treatment of Steve Kean. Their anger should be directed to the Venky's but rather conveniently they're 6000 miles away.
When you think about it also Ed when we dropped points under Roy we generally never looked like getting a result. Under Kenny with the exception of Spurs we have dominated most games. I dont mean to keep banging the same drum but thats why I dont understand why some fans try to make out Kennys reign to be as unfavorable as Roys. Aside from the football played being completely different, Kenny has the team winning away from home. At home we are dominating teams and have been unlucky not to have at least 4 more home wins on the board. We could never say that under Roy, we were always directionless aside from a couple of decent home wins.Every ex Liverpool player I have heard have all heaped praise on Kenny and reckon this team is very close to being a very good one. From Phil Thompson to John Aldridge, from Ray Houghton to Tommy Smith, Ronnie Whelan, Rush, Nicol, Lawrenson, Souness, Barnes and of late Hansen. They all believe Kenny is doing a very good job. I would take some of those ex players opinions with a pinch of salt, some wouldnt be willing to criticise an old team mate but they all seem to be singing from the same hymnsheet with regard the good work thats been done.Mistakes are always going to be made and you cant expect Kenny to get every decision right. So aside from possibly making a mistake in signing Carroll and not being able to turn 6 home draws into what would have been deserved wins Im not sure what else fans could have wanted from Kenny. It borders on the unrealistic.
Your inclination to forgive, forget and accept mediocrity is almost ... touching. Happy new year mate!
