i was one that never thought we were in danger of going down, and have fully supported Houllier all the way so far, so far up untill last night, i couldnt give a toss whether we finish 15 or 10 in the league this year, the FA cup for me was the priority.if we had been playing in a game last night where we had to win to stay up or win to make the top 4, he would never ever have played that side, no matter what the foriegn managers says no matter how many times they are told they will never never get and understand the FA Cup like we do.we would have had to play very well with are best players to beat Man City last night, and even then it would have been difficult, but we should have given it are best shot, i think we could have accepted that,i was very critical of MON over the Moskow debacle, i like GH a million times more than MON, but i wont be hypocritical, he got it badly wrong last night, the lowest point in his short reign for me
