Hello to all Liverpool fans. I have just joined this site. I have been a Liverpool fan since '76 when I was in England and has been faithfully following the team's progress since. I live in Malaysia but I was in England in two separate spells (1975-1977 and 1998-1993). I feel compelled to join a true blue fans' forum because after watching the just completed Chelsea game, I am convinced that the present team is playing cr@p football and we are destined to another year of underachieving. I feel that it is not the players' fault, but the manager, Houllier. I can't understand why Liverpool approaches games in such a negative manner. Looking at today's game, one would think that Chelsea is the home team! The board of directors should get a really tactically astute manager... also someone who knows how to buy players. Martin O' Neil would do wonders. Even our poor cousins Everton plays better soccer. Looking at Houllier's past spending, I wonder how much debt Liverpool is in now. How many expesnive duds has he bought? Too many to remember. Biscan, Diouf, Heskey, Diao, Cheyrou, the list goes on... Why does he buy these unknown for silly money? Perhaps there's some foul play... I'm so frustrated that Liverpool is so stuck in this rot created by Houllier but still retains him as manager. This rot will continue unless we get a new manager who can instill pride and cast away such negativity. This is my say as a long suffering fan. Hope to get some interesting comments from all of you out there.
