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!!

If Randy has anything about him he needs to hold his hand up and admit the biggest fuck up he's made since he bought us.

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

Is it as bad as Houllier's record here?

Maybe they will take pity on us and let us bring on Barry and Milner for the second half.

we have to laugh else we'll cry - this is very good

Feel embarrassed for our lot, they are professional footballers who have clearly been mismanaged on the training field and in the press by their inspirational gaffer

This is the squad (plus the rather good midfielder on City's bench (not the fat one) that pushed for top 4 in last few seasons. We can't keep blaming MoN - if anything Houllier is even more inept for thinking he could make the squad he inherited play like Arse play - we can't simple as - and the players know it which is why they take the field with their heads down.

Sorry - forget the window, who will we attract that will make much difference - write the season off get rid of GH/GM NOW, before Chelsea as the result there is already inevitable - bring in Jol (or hand it back to KM and Sid until the summer), i'll do it if nobody wants to - just get rid of Houllier

Off to shout at one of the kids for no apparent reason

UTV

Give him a clip round the back of the ear from me too!

consider him clouted

Are you sure Jols transfer record was that good to trust him with lots of cash. What he may bring though is the ability to get the best out of what we have which clearly the current guy cant.

We need new players. Not one minute before the window closes, but one minute past midnight on Jan 1. None of the MON usual speculation throughout all of Jan and then sign no one. have them lined up now and playing at the latest against Sunderland.otherwise what is the point of GH, he supposed to know these things/players.

otherwise we're dead in the water, we wont go down but we'll be years behind again.

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.

Agreed, but last season they finished a good 2nd place despite having a team containing Suarez and Pantellic and more money available than the rest of the Eredivisie put together. This season they were lying in 4th spot when he got the boot and had lost at home to ADO and away to NEC. Plus he was not on speaking terms with his own assistant.
He's not the answer and no matter how bad it gets right now I can't see any change until the summer.

The problem is that, even with - and this will be the absolute biggest influx - three or four players in, it looks like there are enough of the squad in "don't give a shit" mode to cancel out any benefit of new personnel.

MIKE BASSETT could do a better job
I don't think we could get him. He'd take one look and stay where he is

Its not just about new players, we need a manager who can repair the damage within the current squad and get Dunne, Carew, NRC, Petrov, Collins, Davis back playing to the level they should be at
