I did not barrack Gerard Houllier on Wednesday,neither did any of the fans around me in the Kemlyn Road stand.
Mainly because most of us had been lulled into a comatose condition by the apology for football being played by most of the men in red shirts.
The Kop did chant "attack,attack,attack",just to remind the players they're at Anfield and we pay to see them take on defences,especially when they are as hapless as manchester city's.
As for the booing of Igor Biscan's substitution,Idon't condone it,but I understand it.When the much-trumpeted injury crisis is over yet the best you can do to enlivena dreadful performance is bring on a failed central midfield player turned makeshift centre-half to play as a right-winger,it drags some fans to the end of their tether.
Houllier wants to know why Koppites are moaning so here is the answer.Because after promising us attacking football,he has reverted to playing the sterile,counter-attacking game which is ugly to watch,is not the Liverpool way,was sussed by opponents three years ago,and will take them no further than Roy Evans did.
Because the squad he has spent £110 million on has too many characterless lightweights who are unfit to play at the highest level,whichis why they are currently 23 points behind Arsenal and light years away from the title.
And because they fear that scrambling into fourth place will be passed off as a great success,and the same coaching staff,players (minus Michael Owen) and mentality will be in place next season,and Liverpool will be heading towards the permanent pastures of mediocrity.
Now does that answer your question?
