I think that Houllier has gone mad. He was grinning at the post match interview yeaterday and finished the interview by saying that the club remains on track. On track for what? Fourth spot? 30 plus points behind Arsenal.
The biggest gap between Liverpool and the title winners in the past 50 years (the year we got relegated) was 32 points about ten years ago. We are very close to this deficit already.
Houllier is a complete clown talking up finishing fourth. We should look at the standards set by Arsenal. We are falling further and further behind and this could be our worst season for 50 years.
Just think........United are apparently having a torrid season with calls for Ferguson to consider his position. Well, they won their CL group, failed to make the last eight for the first time in years, they are in the semi final of the FA Cup, they are third in the league, 12 points behind Arsenal and 19 points ahead of us. Our mad, mad manager would be doing cartwheels if we were having such a bad season as United's.
For all the Houllier sycophants who use this board, just look at our performances, look at Houllier's inept tactics, look at the awful signings, look at the bare statistics, and look at the lack of joy In Michael Owen's face when he plays the game.
Owen has been fantastic for Liverpool. Unfortunately Houllier has robbed him of service. He needs to join a good team to rescue his career.
As for Houllier, it is remarkable that he is still in a job. The Board should use the remainder of the season to draw up a shortlist and get someone in this summer. Houllier has done untold and lasting damage to this great club.
