i dont think we have gone backwards, we made huge strides in the first two or three seasons by winning the treble and getting into the champions league, we have just havent made any progress in the last two seasons while
man utd were always miles ahead of us,
arsenal have made huge strides after the likes of henry pires and a good few others who were terrible at first have really found their feet in the premiership, and
chelseas millions have jumped them ahead of us by a good bit!
so i dont think houllier should be getting as much stick as he is, cos if were going backwards u mean to say roy evans team of ince james ruddock redknapp mcateer (these are the good ones) were better than the current liverpool team and had more quality, i think not!
houllier strengthened the defence and midfield, he just has to try and take it to a new level of the arsenal and man utd attacking philosophy which is the hardest step to take!
heskey is not as bad as people make out he is a long ball option which is needed at certain times, im not a massive fan cos he doesnt score as much as he should or used to!
but the kinda players we need now are quality exciting players while our other players e.g cheyrou kewell diouf start playing to their ability. those three players can be as good as pires lungberg when they progress and play to their ability which is what arsenal are now doing, and their also buying in quality now (reyes), and we need to start buying in quality now which is what i think houllier will start doing!
wenger made a load of cr#p signings oleg luzny, wiltord, shabaan, cygan etc.
it just seems our so called fans are not real fans i.e. no encouragement. what were weve come from fve years is brilliant, look how long it took ferguson at man utd they were calling for his head round the same time they started to dominate!
BOTTOM LINE: we have not gone backwards we have made great strides but arsenal man utd and chelsea even newcastle ahve made bigger strides!
