Buzzard team selection aside, it was clear to all within the first few minutes that fonz and herd were in trouble on the right and under wave after wave of pressure. Yet GH and His assistant did sweet fuck all to address it. I really think they'd given up on the cup as soon as that draw was made

what a complete load of nonsense. I'm guessing that some people will be asking for the club to send out emails, letters, surveys etc to all and sundry ahead of games so that people can provide their best line up and formation. I know Wednesday didn't go to plan, but fuck me what a bunch of drama queens we have on here.
Nail on the head,  was you on here on weds? I was getting the anti-depressants out for everyone...

i am not expecting an apology, the fact that conditions have been created so soon after the Anfield fiasco render any attempt by the club to respond to the fans anger as weak. This is further evidence that we have a walking PR disaster as manager and a bloke that is so totally out of touch with the traditions and history of the club.

I'm hoping an apology will come in the way of his resignation or sacking after what I can only see as another defeat tomorrow.

Nothing other than a Victory tomorrow is acceptable.   

Purlease.......

Are you telling me that Houllier was PLANNING to win the tie with that team?

Are you telling us he was planning on losing it?

This, a million times this.

In the space of 6 months he's managed to create, all by his own doing,  that *can't find enough expletives in the world to describe it* 'performance' at  Liverpool,  ReserveCup-gate, Villa are a 8th-12th placed club malarkey and asked for a sabbatical from his former employer before he took the job.

No, I was asking Toronto if he thought playing away to a big, fuck-off money side with that team sheet was planning to win.

Well, I thought we would lose whatever team we put out and so it proved.  Maybe that's why I'm not as upset about it?

Again, I don't agree with the decision, but he probably thought that team had as good a chance of getting a result as any other.   Crawley should have beaten Man Ure the week before, Leyton Oreint drew with Arsenal.   Are our second string worse than those sides?

I never expect Villa to lose ever.  I always think we're in with a shout - it may be tough but we could swing it.

Well obviously from the heart, yes.  From the head, no, not always.

Good initial post which mirrors my own addressed to Mr Lerner - I have updated that same post tonight after having time to refelect.

I am only surmising here but there may just be a generational thing here - us older posters find the idea of "throwing" a game as being abhorant and would walk over broken glass to see our club win the FA Cup.

Yes we should be patient and allow a manager sufficient time to make his impact however I feel that Houllier has gone the O`Leary route by disrespecting the club with ill- thought quotes or throw away comments. The only way to get the fans back onside is to win something - quite clearly his actions Wednesday show he is not arsed.

As I state elsewhere I am not soo much after an apology but a statement from the owner as to just what our aspirations are now - and not just another soundbite from General Krulak

If we were in the middle of a fixture pile up, with a huge match at the weekend I'd have maybe understood a bit more.  But that decision was indefensible, and Houllier's pathetic attempt at self justification (Delph has an England U21 cap!) was treating the customers like idiots.
