Houlier and Thomo must go...How can they play players who are not even competant to make into a 1st Division team.
Smicer...He not aggressive enough,whenever there is a 1 2 1 he comes last or falls over.NOT GOOD ENOUGH
Biscan...Has made Hyypia look bad is never around to win a ball against Mna Utd he was never seen in the game,he does not know what to do with ball when he has it he looks lost.
Murphy....Though a good player his effort is not 90 mins only flashes ,he never seems to win a ball fairly,never able to mark an opponent and is always going in circles .
Troure...Gives away unneccassary free kicks ,careless and too left footed.
Dudek...Never comes out of line to show his authority in collected crosses,He was never interested in making an effort to clear or collect two crosses that were judged before they even came in

If you actually look at the results by league position, they read even worse.
We have beaten only one team in the top half of the table and four of our five wins have come against bottom six opposition (Leeds Utd 20th, Everton 18th, Blackburn 16th and Leicester 15th). The only team we've beaten in the top half is Fulham and they are only 7th. Bottom line is Kermit has had long enough and giving him longer this season won't make a significant difference but could give a new manager time to settle in. The excuses are becoming boring and predictable and the team is showing no signs of "turning the corner". Kermit thinks he's in for the longer term as he has stated he will stick with the current attacking style which has seen us stuck in 8th place.

I have never been a fan of Kermit but I have given him a chance. Had the improvement continued after we finished 2nd then fair enough but to finish 5th was just plain feeble, especially after the 12 match unbeaten run. Winning trophies is great but it is the league which matters more and I for one won't settle for a trophy and 5th in the league any longer

Of course Owen will be off. Probably at the end of the season. He is an ambitious player who wants real medals in his cabinet and playing at the highest levels. Even if Liverpool finish in fourth spot thereby giving Houllier yet another year in charge, we all know that this lot would get knocked out at the first hurdle. Owen knows that as well. He wants to be doing what players like the Neville brothers and Scholes are doing.........getting to the latter stages of European Cups and winning titles. He's not going to get that at mediocre Anfield. Not a chance.

Owen announced yesterday to the press that if Liverpool were winning the league every year he would have no plans to ever leave but he said that if they fail to put up a title challenge this year or at least qualify for the Champions League, he will move abroad in the summer....

Straight from the horses mouth...

Alarming.
