A defeat today will leave us with the worst goal difference in the league. I've supported Houllier up until a few days ago but having read a few statistics i'm very worried, as these would seem to show there are fundamental problems, especially in defence, which was one of the best in the league last year.
Second highest number of goals conceeded in the premiership
Joint least amount of points gained in away games in the premiership
Fourth least amount of goals scored in the premiership
Least amount of away goals scored in the whole league
Houllier has got to get at the very least 5 points from the next 3 games or he should be sacked. 0-0 would be a good result today, we need to keep a tight defensive ship though i doubt we can do it. Our defensive coaching is obviously useless and 3 or 4 games ago Houllier said that we needed to stop conceeding goals, and we've conceeded 10 in the last 4.
