There really is no hope is there.

No thinking:

"I've tried gabby on the wing for 10 games and he's been rubbish beacuse he is a centre forward"

Thinks he's an old man who was better off in the french board of football ( or whatever it was ), then going back to the PL to coach a good squad.

What a stupid wanker

It's getting to the point where I can't go anymore until that clueless prick and his mute friend have gone

If he'd brought Gabby on for Albrighton, switched Young to the wing, and put Gabby in the middle his actions on Saturday may have made sense. But he didn't. This is before we start to analyse swapping NRC for a Frenchman in his late thirties who runs like an arthritic orang utan.

I don't know which is worse here.

1. Houllier clearly believes in what he's saying, much like the way he defended his selection for the Man City FA Cup game. '... one of them an Australian international...'

2. He thinks he can fool the fans by saying such rubbish as he's putting Gabby on to score because he's been our main goalscorer for the past couple of seasons when anybody can see he's struggling on the wing, rather than playing his natural game as a centre forward. We're not idiots.

I'm trying to like Houllier and believe in what he's doing, but he really is saying and doing things now which take some defending.

Precisely

If a CM was going to bet taken off it should have been makoun

25 minutes to go and that game was crying out for a bit of flair/creativity from the midfield. Step up Barry bannan, oh hang on....

HOULLIER QUOTE FROM BIRMINGHAM MAIL


“They said that (I don’t know what I’m doing) because I substituted Marc Albrighton with Gabby Agbonlahor,” he said.

“He was the main scorer last season as far as I know.

“He was on the bench and I just put him on to try and score a goal.

“We knew we’d be attacking and pushing and that’s why I tried offensive options.




That just shows how detached from reality the wanker is

he scores all his goals from playing through the middle.

perhaps he could have enlightened us as to how many gabby has scored from the wing this season

Blackpool he scored from the wing and Wigan away

Would the players unite under Kevin Mac? I think so.

A short term hope, it cannot be worse than blundering towards relegation just hoping that there are worse teams than us!

its not the sacking of Houllier that worries me, its the replacement,
if we feel we are in desperate trouble, we might do desperate things,

i strongly disagree with the posters who blindly say 'i dont care who it is. anyone is better than Houllier' because that is not the case.
we could end up staying up under say Alladyce, then having to put up with 2/3 seasons of hoof ball with crowds between 20/25k, but we would have no fear of going down, because we would be a rich mans Stoke,
and the prems where its all at !!  load of balls

  no thanks,  i'd rather take the risk of relegation than that

the bbcsport ticker is saying that Paul Faulkner has given Houllier 'his full backing.'

I think they missed off 'To take us into the Championship.'

Oh good.  That legend of football administration Paul Faulkner has decided that Houllier is the man for us, we'll be alright then if somebody with his vast footballing knowledge and experience says it's OK.
