Gerard Houllier folies
« Reply #1517 on: January 05, 2011, 11:00:53 PM »
Against Sunderland, one  of the most bizarre formation I have ever seen (yes, the same that against Chelsea, but in that occasion  the goddes Fortune helped us leaving Super jmark unmarked in the last minute).
Four central defenders against an average team at home.
The awful pair Dunne & Collins in the starting XI.
Our best player Super Mark Albrighton on the bench.
Our second best player Barry Bannan on the bench.
Our best and only striker Gabby Agbonlahor played substantially as a full back.
How long  do you, Mr GH,  keep abusing our patience?

He did a Martin Oneil, same tactics against too different teams, no subs.


Yes this is where I have lost faith in him today. FFS something that worked at Chelsea away is not going to work at home against Sunderland who came for a point.

No.

He won't survive not winning at SHA imo, I don't think even a draw will be good enough for him with Man. City at home looming after.

No need for another Houllier topic to be honest.

Same here I've backed Houllier till tonight,

HOULLIER OUT!!!!!  Get Jol before it too late, it's abit funny how the general isn't around when the shit hits the fan.

We are in freefall, was there really less than 33k there? Was there any anti-Ged chanting?

"Getting sacked in the morning" from the Holte.

There is no point randy sacking him in a months time- either sack him him now and replace him with jol or stick with him and sign 4 or 5 players-randy strikes me as a bit of a ditherer , doug was ruthless but I'm not sure randy will be.

I am appalled at the players who clearly lack effort and attitude and seem to me to be trying to get rid of the manager- some of these players are gutless and do not deserve the honour of wearing the villa shirt!

He has to go and go now. Everything is just so piss poor on the pitch and I can't see i changing while Houllier is still i charge. The players' attitudes seemed to be all over the place and apart from Heskey nobody seemed to be able to do the basics right. Despite the good result at Chelsea things are getting worse and I expect to hear that he's been sacked by the morning. If not, the board are playing a very risky game.

Add Ashley Young taking free kicks in his own half on numerous occasions.

Houllier has to go.

Legion, where's your fickle poster from the DOL days? Can you resurrect it, just with the 'we do not like you' bit.

That was Leighton. I did the website.

Has Houllier said anything, I can't find anything.
