I really cyah believe I ever doubted the ability of Kenny to give this side a lift (I plead temporary insanity). When you have Maxi turning in two hat tricks in his last three appearances, that speaks volumes about the changed atmosphere at the club.
Even Lucas looking like a baller now.
On another point, I just heard McManaman refer to Liverpool and himself as "we".
I thought commentators supposed to be unbiased.
He always up front in announcing his past Liverpool ties (grew up on Merseyside as well) and that he'll always have a soft spot for the team. On balance he tries to be (and I think he has been) fair in his commentary though. But no concealing his joy with how the team has been playing.
As for praises to Kenny... indeed. Macca made a great point about restoring a sense of pride in the side, but he's also been playing the youngsters a lot. Flanagan seems a stalwart now... hard to believe he's only 17. Shelvey getting a full half to stretch his legs today, and has consistently played as a sub the past two months. Say nothing of what Spearing has done in Gerrard's absence.
Can't downplay the effect of Steve Clarke's role in the background either, from all accounts he's been immense.

Daft... Zamora actually having a very good game, he set up Dembele on the goal and is the focal point of their attack this second half.
