Defeat in the FA Cup final to Chelsea would appear to have rendered Kenny Dalglish's first full season in charge a failure, no matter how hard he tries to convince everybody otherwise. At a club that has won 18 titles and five European Cups, the Carling Cup and eighth place doesn't quite cut it, as Dalglish well knows. There are many who would like to see a younger, more modern manager at Anfield, someone not unlike Swansea's Brendan Rodgers, who will hope to end a hugely satisfying season with another big scalp on Sunday.
