I'm happy to blame Stephen Ireland. The useless tosser.
Agreed that he's a tosser but the problems are a lot more deep rooted than that mate.

i understand peoples reasons for thinking give him chance with his players... so far heres a list of players weve been linked with
Pires - we got
Omar Cummings - we got on trial
Juninho (lyon)
piquione
cisse

id rather get rid of him now and see either martin jol in or owen coyle
Benzema
Payet
Makoun
Given
Diarra
McGregor
N'Zogbia
Hoarau
M'Vila

I'm not sure the nonsense written in the press is of much relevance as a pro or a con.

Don't forget Michael Owen!

We have no spine
We have no spirit
We have no desire
...and that comes from the Manager. 
Get rid.



TOTALLY AGREE

i am in the camp of back ged, i can see what he is trying to do on the pitch, there are a load of players who are in the squad who cannot play the type of football he wants, the only mistake i can see is the evolution not revolution one that owen coyle has taken up. I sympathise with the injuries he has had to put up with.
there is enough there to take us away from relegation, the board will back him in jan, and then he can start building for a rise in the league next year!
Mon is a tosser in my eyes at the time of his departure, though i always appreciated the job he did for us without ever being a fan of his style of play. We all know we were left in the shit when he did that to us!

O'Neill walking out didn't help.  The injuries haven't helped.  But there's no excuse for the piss poor performances we've being putting in.  We've got the joint worst goal difference in the Premier League, and are 5 points behind Blackpool despite having played two games more than them.  We're halfway through the season and we've nearly conceded as many goals as we did in the whole of last season.  Our best defender in Dunne and leading goal scorer in Carew from last season can't even get in the squad thanks the idiot manager falling over himself to piss players off.

It's a farce, a disaster, and the longer it goes on, the worse it will get.  Actually giving Houllier money to spend in January frightens me.

Beautifully put. You get my vote

He has to stay. We cannot judge him on games against Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs etc. We all sound so fickle, judge him when he has played teams at all levels of the Premier League with his full strength full match fit team.
Why shouldn't we be angry and disappointed when we are not competing against these teams we were beating them last season, we are getting dragged down by GH you must be blind not to see this, I am not fickle 41 years a fan good times and bad, i'm just angry we are going backwards fast under GH and GM he must be relieved of his duties

Did we beat all of those teams last season? I can only remember beating Liverpool in the corresponding fixture last season.We were similarly inept at City last season. We are going backwards because our manager is trying to stop us playing long ball in order to take us forward. No investment in 2010 and a former manager walking out on us on the eve of the season.

I wouldn't be worried about relegation if I had the memory of a goldfish.

In addition to Liverpool we also beat Chelsea, Blues, Sunderland and Fulham in the corresponding fixtures last season and  drew against Arsenal and Spurs twice in corresponding games that we've lost under Houllier. That's an awful lot of dropped points in the time Gerard has been manager.

The money will not be there to buy our way out of trouble in January, the only chance we have is for the manager to begin getting the best out of the squad we have. I don't think Houllier can do that now.

With the various chants in the away end for Houllier to go (which is just about the earliest I can recall for any manager) are we past the point of of putting this discontent down to a few internet drama queens yet?

Or are we still maintaining this will this all blow over soon?

And yet a staggering 25% are backing him on the poll.....

Guys, we're in freefall, we won't have the funds to buy more players - Lerner has made that clear, and GH has lost the dressing room!

Wakey wakey!

Who said we don't have the funds in January? I don't think Houllier would of said he wanted to sign a few players if we've got no money to spend.

I can't imagine Randy WON'T be giving some money to Houllier with the situation we're in right now.

Better Goldfish than plankton!

We cannot judge GH in the games against the top 4/5 or 6 as we shouldn't , with our current team, expect too much in these games. Our record over the last 10 years shows this. Other teams have moved on from last season. We have got slightly worse. It is only fair to judge him when he has played teams from all levels of the league.

I also believe he will spend.

Cuellar is our best defender by miles... both Collins and Dunne are as bad as each other.
