Kenny's cup-winning Reds at a crossroads (169)
- 2 Mar 12, 01:30 PM
If at the beginning of this first full season of the second coming of Kenny Dalglish at Anfield you had asked Liverpool fans whether they would take a trophy and European qualification, I fancy most would have reckoned on that being a very decent outcome.
Liverpool achieved both those goals in one afternoon by winning the Carling Cup last Sunday.
Now, what will the rest of the season hold?
In some ways, Liverpool are at a crossroads. The FA Cup is a very enticing prospect, with a home quarter final against Stoke City, no Manchester United, Manchester City or Arsenal in their way - and no guarantee that Chelsea will make the last eight either.
But a return to the Champions League would be the most significant achievement of all.
