Since when did Jol become the messiah? Does everyone just conveniently forget his record over here with Ajax when talking about him.

I just don't know what to say. Radio 5 just said that todays game is proof that there are easy games in the Premiership. Houllier/ McAllister have to go, maybe even Randy if he really does have no intention of investing more cash in this club.

This game show the quality of game we have so far. The alone striker is not enough all the pressure are on our back. 5 midfielders are not cove with the wing attacking that City use.

Drop one midfield and put 1 up front.

On paper this team is miles better than the previous two that got relegated. Unfortunately the way we are playing is just so similar to those teams. We simply look beaten before we start and lack any passion or pride. This is not far off the full team and at the moment are there 3 worse teams in the premiership?

What a shit Christmas.

Defeat to Spurs, humiliation at Man City, worse to come at Chelsea and the Doctor Who Christmas special was an incomprehensible pile of shit.

The Royle Family was pretty good though.

Big decision to be made by the board - change now and give somebody else the window to change things, or trust GH with millions.

Lets hope that Randy is watching this, surely this is has bad as it can get!!

Only Albrighton and Bannan seem interested!! it looks to me as though the senior players (Petrov, NRC etc..)want Houllier out!

Player power, says it all really about the could not careless attitude of our so called stars!!

I first half hasn't been good, but the penalty wasn't clear-cut, the ball wasn't over the line; and Balotelli was off-side on the third. I don't see how the performance warrants the massively hysterical Houllier antipathy on this thread.

the third goal was a disgrace, we allowed them to walk the ball into the net, a sure sign that the players are NOT behind the manager.

Does Randy have the balls to admit the board got it wrong ? Hopefully he does or things will get far worse including millions of pounds wasted on poor signings.

3 dodgy goals!!

But my god we have been shocking.   I have been watching the defence and we are not picking men up, marking space, not men.   Warnock should be taken off.

GH will take us down.   Come on Randy,  make the call before he wastes your money.

Its not so much about what he can add in the transfer window that worries me.
Adding a couple of players may help technically, but is their the will from the rest of them to play for him beyond that...

Unfortunately, I agree.

it looks clear as day that the players do not - for whatever reason - want to play for this manager. Whether it is him, or GM, I don't know, but they clearly don't want any part of it.

It isn't just the performances, either, there have been the myriad of injuries (I know it's hard to fake a cruciate, for example, but the sicknesses, too), and the arguments and fallings out, it looks like there's something wrong.

Several posters on here thought that GH ha picked the best team from the players available - it looks like those players are just not good enough.

We are playing a team that has had millions and millions spent on it - and they have very much had the 'rub of the green' in the first half.

My worries are the lack of passion shown by the players and management - it looks like GH has lost the dressing room (however this is not helped by the current first team squad including the biggest number of wankers since Hodge was here- Dunne, Ireland, Beye, Warnock, Downing all cause trouble down there).

Time for Randy to stick or twist - if he sacks GH and replaces him immediately we will have had 4 managers in 5 months - shambles.
