1 goal from Champs League, 10 points from Premiership Title and 3 points from the team (Liverpool) that will finish higher on the table than ManU for the 2nd year in a row.
so be it - but after losing to Arsenal at the end of April, you will continue your downward spiral culminating in a final day defeat to Everton which will secure Fergie's last 2 years of spending as a complete failure...
You are wrong. Aneurisms have been known to prove doctors wrong by bursting at or near the same area that was repaired. So Houllier might still leave this planet and meet his creator ... and then Liverpool will not win the EPL. Morbid but true.
behave. for all you know, lion is a doctor. All I've based my opinion on is what i've read in the paper. I'm happy to stand corrected. Well, not happy, given the portent of the issue, but let's not get silly here shall we? Newbies can do themselves no harm by taking it easy for a while, if I may be so bold as to make that observation.
havent read all this thread but..... liverpool will not win the title with Hamann, Heskey and Gerrard forming the spine of the attack and midfield its just toooo defensive Hamann is probably the worlds best defensive midfielder..but he adds ZERO to the attack and creativity department. We may have the best defense in the premiership...but Hamann is hugely responsible for this..as he sits just in front of the back four. I dont think our defense would look as good without Hamann in the team Gerrard would score 15 goals a season if Houllier didnt make him operate so defensively..its such a waste somtimes Heskey was made to track back and defend a lot last season..and he did a fine job too - he worked very tirelessly for LFC. Unfortunately these "defensive duties" resulted in his one goal in 27 games record - which is poor for a midfielder..let alone a striker. Remember Barcelona away last season? Heskey almost played as a left back...it was soo embarassing It is easier to prevent goals than to create them...and Houllier seems to think keeping a clean sheet is more important than being adventurous and scoring some goals. This is why last season, watching liverpool play football was often very boring and uninspiring The Liverpool team needs width in midfield..this is why we needed to sign Bowyer and Duff (although in bowyers case...the greedy little s**t didnt want to play for us) I think for home games against poorer opposition GH should choose a more adventurous midfield and maybe 3 up front something like Hamann/Murphy---Gerrard----Cheyrou --------------------Diouf------------ -----------Heskey/Baros---Owen--- If we play more attacking football then im sure we stand a chance of winning the league Allez les Rouges! Walk On........
Arsenal for the league again I'm afraid boys. Best striker in Henry, best attacking midfielder in Pires and best tackler in Viera. They were all outstanding towards the end of the season (with Ljungberg stepping nicely into Pires's shoes).
I won't shut up; why don't you ask a physician about what I said about aneurisms? And don't be so tough on Fergie; he might just win another title this year. I certainly hope so for your f****** sake.
Gerard is in great shape, certainly a damn site better then that whiskey drinkey monkey 20 miles to the east! your just *************** stirring now shut up!
When Houllier is gone, your team's chances will go also. Gerrard, Owen, Diouf -- they won't be enough to win the EPL. So you shut the f*** up.
look ********* the only club in decline is Man Utd! and hey look this monkey has shown his true stripes! you ************ stirring manc loving ***************!
"Manc loving"? What is manc??? Monkey or Man U ??? Get your spelling correct. In any case, I don't love monkeys and I don't love Man U. I was only pointing out that Liverpool's fate depends a lot on Houllier's health, that's all.
Liverpool did well -- not great -- without Houllier last year. If Houllier did not have his health problems last year, Liverpool would most likely have won the EPL , instead of Arsenal.
Giving Houllier way too much credit. Off the top of my head, I believe it was Phil Thompson who filled in for him last year. He did a fine job while Houllier was away. The reason Arsenal won was not due to Liverpool missing their coach, it was due to Arsenal going on a run at the end of the season and not allowing the other teams back in the race. They won when they had to. This will also be the case this year.
