I think at the time Dalglish possibly had a case for being given another year. Reached both cup finals, winning one. The league finish was awful but a lot of bad luck involved along the way. It started to fall apart when Lucas was out for the season from about January. Gerrard missed half the season through injury too. I seem to remember some ridiculous stat about the amount of times they hit the woodwork that season too. Rodgers coming in after him then had the benefit of Suarez being well on his way to becoming the best in the league.
