Manchester.  At least with Moscow we were chasing a bigger prize going for 4th, but this?!  We have 1 game in 2 weeks, so why the need to rest players.  It is an insult to the players, the FA Cup, the club and the fans.

Manchester. I could see the reasoning behind Moscow, tonight was a disgrace.

I have to say, I think tonight was much worse.

MON had the excuse he was going for the CL places. Houllier doesn't. We've hardly had a tough run of fixtures of late.

Tonight was disgraceful, I am afraid, and the absolute worst thing about it is that all that general unity, the nascent sense of togetherness and spirit we've developed over the last few weeks has now been well and truly pissed up the wall.

Sometimes, he's his own worst enemy.

We dropped out of uefa in Moscow because we wanted champions league.

We dropped out of FA cup so we don't get relegated? With Reading up next words really really fail me

If he really thinks we will struggle to pick up another 9or 10 points by the end of the season then fair enough. In which case we really are fucked.

I said Manchester, but then I wasnt in Moscow!!!!!!

I think the bigger question is what was a worse decision. I was 100% against Moscow  decision, but I could understand where MON was coming from + he had quite a bit of credit in the bank at that stage in that we were performing way above expectations.

This decision makes no sense....we didnt play last weekend, we havent had many games since xmas, we dont have a Euro campaign and now we have f*** all games in March.

No "big club" would stand for this and neither should we.

I'm just glad I didn't go as I would have if this had been a weekend game.

After banking some credit with me, Houllier has now lost some of that credit for running up the white flag. As the title of the thread suggests, he's not the first manager to do so.

Obviously, when GH said we'll win things ,the part where he said " but not this seasons F.A. Cup because in going throw in the towel v Man City with a gutless team selection" was edited out.

I didn't agree with either but this is worse.  I don't think i've ever seen us just give up on a match before it even started we might as well just given Man City a bye.  I've just about had it with football there really is no point anymore.

You could see the logic behind Moscow.
