"we're shit, we have no chance of staying up".

I know that's simplifying the argument to make a point but that does seem to be how the tone of the site has shifted.

Nobody remotely sensible has said anything of the sort, take a little bit of your own advice and stop exaggerating for dramatic effect.

Oh yes they have, several people have predicted certain relegation. However, if you'd read my post properly then you'd see I talked about "mood" and "tone". There has been a marked reaction to the results last week.

We could always go back to MON's back 4 and play Heskey up front to give us more stability but I don't think that would go down either. He bought players to suit a dparticulat game plan and style of playing, as we look to change that then there will be issues.
It would suit me to have him up front with Bent.
I think Bent would profit nicely from the rejuvenated Heskey.

But I guess that's another argument all together.

He's had shit thrown at him all season by many on this site who do not seem to acknowledge the disaster he inherited. When we put a few decent games together many started to change their tune a little but as soon results didn't go as we would have liked they are at him again.Fickle to the core, i hope if, as i expect, next season to be much more what we all want to see, those that have stuck their knives into him for months will acknowledge they got it wrong. Won't be holding my breath.

I'll throw some more shit at him:

Gabby is not a winger and don't play downing on the left

I know GH has inherited some shit but a lot of the the ime he does himself no favours.

Like on Friday when interviewed about the man City game and he said he couldn't see what all the fuss was about and why fans were majorly pissed off

Chris Smith said:-

It's been astonishingly bad at sermonette, in open play it's fine but we are undone time and again from corners and free kicks. I know that looks like nit-picking but I think it is an important distinction. With Reo Coker sitting we are a more difficult side to break down.

I agree NRC gives us some added defensive strength in the middle of the park, but statistically is that true?  Of late set pieces have been highlighted, but if we're looking back over the whole season I think we've carved open from open play just as often.

Anyone got the stats on this?

Gabby is not a winger

Too right he isn't.

I bet he hates playing there too.

I thought Nathan Baker was man marking Cahill but he didn't do a particularly good job of it.

Anyway, where are these gaffes? I want to see Houllier walking into a patio door or falling back down a steep hill on an MX bike or something. Not even trying to lift a fat granny at a wedding?

We can all see that but he couldn't for 4 games

What about the Burnley cup game when we palyed for over a hour with no recognised striker on the pitch

I would also like him to to tell us all exactly what McAllister does

I think GH should be commended for bringing the kids through but then he fucks it all up with baffling decisions

His gaffes are on MOTD on a regular basis.
I don't think he get's £250 per time off Harry Hill though.

Surely you're not trying to argue that we're good at sermon pieces.

Danny kelly & stuart robson on Friday night played it at about 9.15pm. It was along the lines of "i've heard all the critisism about Wednesday night at can't understand what all the fuss is about"
