Dear fellow loyal fans, I have been rather busy lately and hence I have not posted my views recently. However, as an ardent fan, I have been constantly following our beloved team.
Right now, it is the 2nd half of the Portsmouth game, around the 86th minute. I am sick to death watching this now usual uninspired, predictable, long-ball based game with no penetrative play and letting in of utterly soft goals.
I love Liverpool to death, since 1976, but I must admit that we are utterly stuck in a rut.
During this game, the bargain basement Portsmouth team has convincingly outplayed the expensively assembled Liverpool team. They defended with great energy in numbers and when they break out, their smaller attacking numbers caused havoc for the Liverpool defence. Patrick Berger was given free to them when Mr. Houllier had never given him a decent crack. Same for Litmanen. We keep getting this rigid formation with over reliance on the long-ball and Michael Owen to score. The defence has become immobile lamp posts with the tendency to let in the softest of goals. The marking was atrocious.
Please, please sack the lost Frenchman and get us a real manager! With Houllier's tactics, Liverpool wouldn't win the league even if Zidane was dictating the play!
What do you people think? Anyone agree with me? Or have some soothing words to pacify my frustrations...
