I wouldnt accept 8th/9th- not with the players weve got and a new emphasis on ball retention and movement. For those of us at WHL, we had a glimpse of some really quality attacking football with Heskey as the focal point of the attack. It was excellent to watch and we should have been three up by the time Heskey limped off.I see that as a glimpse of things to come. With money to spend in January and things appearing to come together style wise, I think well have another decent season.
I was just making the point that had MON been doing double training sessions that's what they would have consisted of: kick and run in the morning, hoof and hope in the afternoon. Just trying to be witty. Failed.

But that's exactly the point, we played more attractively, but lost the game (albeit after Heskey went off, but even with 90 mins from him there would have been no guarantees). Ok, that's risk you run, and it's worth it.
We'll still lose games under Houllier. The fact we have a striking problem doesn't help that, but I thought we deserved a point nonetheless.

The fact we have a striking problem doesn't help that, but I thought we deserved a point nonetheless.The striking problems/options are no different than before, so that can hardly be used as an excuse for poorer results.I'm prepared for short term pain for long term gain, but to me that gain needs to be in terms of points, league place and trophies and not just the intangible of 'better football.'
Realistically with no tranfers in apart from Ireland I think we will be battling with Liverpool and everton for 6th to 8 th place and kick on from that next season when GED has bought some new players in - maybe a cup win with a bit of luck.
