Honeymoon's over for Dalglish


DALGLISH AT LIVERPOOL

The Independent’s James Lawton thinks it is essential that King Kenny at least reminds us of what Liverpool used to be – and what they might just be again. In The Sun Ian Wright asks Kenny Dalglish why he didn’t help Roy Hodgson when he had the chance. H should have at least tried. In The Times Tony Evans believes Dalglish has come back to a very different Anfield from the one he arrived at in the summer of 1977. That was a time of massive optimism, this isn’t. The Daily Mail’s Matt Lawton says the romance is back at Anfield ut now Kenny must prove he is still King of The Kop. But The Guardian’s Kevin McCarra thinks Dalglish might well improve on the miserable results, yet the owners cannot afford sentimentality towards a club they bought for £300m.

DIVING THEO WALCOTT

In The Daily Express Mick Dennis says Theo Walcott should not be punished for admitting he dived to try to earn Arsenal a penalty.

QATAR WORLD CUP

In The Times Matt Dickinson says the Qatar 2022 World Cup began as a bad joke (surely no idiot would vote for football in a desert), became an injustice (what, 14 idiots?) and is now a scandal that will not go away.

HOME INTERNATIONALS

The Daily Telegraph’s Henry Winter thinks the plan to reinstate the Home Internationals is so misguided it is tempting to check whether some mischievous time lord has landed at the FA and that today’s date is actually April 1. English football needs the return of the Home Internationals as much as it needs the return of hooliganism.
