And tell me who do you think decides what the drills are in training?

It is fair not to give all the credit to Kenny for the return to Pass and Move as it was Shanks who introduced the “Liverpool Way” of playing pass and move and it was Paisley who taught it all to Dalglish.

However, the training sessions now include several drills that are the same as drills Dalglish undertook as a player and it plain wrong to credit it to Clarke. As Kenny has introduced those and asked Clarke to run them.

Liverpool is a club of great history and in the return of Kenny we have seen a return to many fundamentals that made us great. I understand some young fans will thing this change is something new bought to us by Clarke but it’s not.

We have dipped into our very own treasure chest and returned to the Liverpool Way and it took a return to our past to bring this into our present.

I agree, although I think that Kenny has been the one to make the bolder tactical decisions this year, like the 3-4-2-1 we played for a while.

Still, I would not be able to tell you if that plan was entirely of his own. (Don’t quote me on it).

I’m enjoying the cult of personality around Dalglish and believe he has been incredibly positive for the club but… It think it suits all very well to heap praise on his shoulders but I don’t think of has more than a cog in the management structure. Steve Clarke is the guy actually drilling the players. Damien Comolli is the guy doing the off pitch stuff. Dalglish is there as a motivator and to give the team direction. Both are vital roles, but his importance has been overstated.

Some might also attribute the success to a certain Luis Suarez also…. I am not sure LFC and Kenny would have had quite the run of form without him…. although of course he was Kenny’s signing so credit where it is due.
