That looks remarkably like how Dalglish sent the team out a number of times last season.
it all feel down because there was no lucas and the defenders didn't push far enough up the pitch. the first goal conceeded in the fa cup final was case in point.
I wonder if harry asked his friends on media to put this story out so Levy hurry's up and offers him a contract extension
that's exactly what has happened.
also I think some of the managers that have distanced themselves from the job haven't even been approached and are just using the oppertunity to endear themselves to their current club
I love the way one minute Martinez is flying to Boston for a second interview, the next minute he's been sounded out informally.

Louis van Gaal is in line for a senior managerial role at Liverpool. The Dutchman was linked with a move to Liverpool in the wake of Damien Comolli's dismissal as director of football in April. However, while it has since been decided to change the management structure at Liverpool, Van Gaal has remained under consideration for a revised role and is the leading contender to become the club's first sporting director.
He is understood to be keen on a move to Merseyside and his appointment could herald the arrival of several new faces at Anfield, including the successor to Kenny Dalglish. The club are also set to name Billy Hogan, currently the managing director of Fenway Sports Group, as the club's new commercial director. FSG are conducting an extensive search for a manager since sacking Dalglish last week and their ideal criteria of a young coach with title-winning experience would fit alongside a sporting director of Van Gaal's experience and expertise. That plan led to approaches for Jürgen Klopp of Borussia Dortmund and Ajax's Frank de Boer, both of whom declined the opportunity to meet John W Henry and Tom Werner, Liverpool's principal owner and chairman respectively, and to interest in the former Porto and Chelsea manager, André Villas‑Boas.
Villas-Boas and Roberto Martínez of Wigan Athletic are among several candidates for the Liverpool manager's post and whoever is chosen will, it seems, have to accept working with Van Gaal, who has won league titles with Ajax, Barcelona, AZ Alkmaar and Bayern Munich, plus the Champions League with Ajax in 1995.
The 60-year-old was due to return to Ajax in a director's capacity this year until a legal challenge from long-time adversary Johann Cruyff derailed the move. His last managerial role was at Bayern, who he led to the Bundesliga title and the Champions League final in 2010 before being sacked in April 2011. Van Gaal's work with Ajax and Barcelona undoubtedly appeals to Liverpool's owners as they conduct an overhaul at Anfield and look to imprint a playing philosophy throughout every level of the club. That strengthens his claims for the proposed sporting director role at Liverpool, although Van Gaal has not yet called time on his managerial career and was linked with PSV Eindhoven before their recent appointment of Dick Advocaat.
FSG's method of replacing Dalglish has attracted criticism due to the number of rejections it has prompted. Brendan Rodgers was the first to decline the offer of an interview but it is understood the Swansea City manager would not reject an offer of the job if it was forthcoming.
van gaal has pedigree, but he is notorious for his fascist control freakery. he cant work with seasoned pros as he likes to treat all footballers as boys. he wont be a good DoF as his ego wont allow it. i am concerned.
What is it with managers and weird noses?
Well, if it was LVG and AVB at least LVG would be there to tell AVB he's full of shit.
it's like that's what people are thinking. the mind boggles.
