Got a nice little pic of him looking like he was on roller skates and a picture of Mikael making an unbelivable challenge to stop Murphy scoring.
Great game, Great Result and overall Excellent game
Anyway...my question to you is 'Should Houllier go?'
I was takling to a lot of the scouse fans after the game and they were irate and want him out after constantly playing players like the mighty Biscan/Traore constantly.
What's your view?

...and no im not 'Sniper in disguise'

He's made plenty of cack signings (including the likes of Biscan and Traoré, yes), but he's also made a number of reasonabley and potentially good ones, too.
Emile Heskey, Sander Westerveld, Jerzy Dudek, Burno Cheyrou (possibly...), El-Hadji Diouf (brilliant in the World Cup), and others...
But all he's seemed to have done to each-one of these players is "ruined" them!
Look at Heskey BEFORE he came to Liverpool... He could've been the ideal goal-scoring replacement for Alan Shearer; and now he's just fat!
Weterveld could've been the new Dutch No.1, before he made ONE-mistaker against Bolton and Houllier told him where to go - instead of helping him get around his problems, like any GOOD manager would've.
And Diouf... We all saw what he looked like in the 2002 World Cup, and, really, Liverpool should be a much greater threat than this by now, with a player of his abillity in the side. ...Only, now he's playing for Houllier, he looks not even half the player he was last Summer!!
If ever he doesn't like a player, he'll just force them to train alone and leave them in the reserves (Paul Ince and Sean Dundee) until he can either sell or release them.
I bet the only reason he's still in the job is because he won't sell Michael Owen!
Harry Kewell; you made a great choice joining Gerard Houllier's side....!! :S
We wuz robbed!
And for Gods sakes, stop playing Heskey. He couldn't score in a brothel.
However I wouldn't like to see him sacked, just maybe moved aside / up to allow someone with fresh ideas in to buck up the players. On saying that though - who the hell could replace him?
Liverpool are definitely going backwards since several years ago and seem to be very stagnant.
Bar the obvious three, look who's above them in the table:
Charlton
Brimingham
Man City
Fulham
The way Liverpool have been playing so far this season, who would be brave enough to put money on Liverpool getting all three points in any game - home or away - against any of those three sides?
11 points and 12 goals behind 3rd place only a third of the way through the season. Sure, they've had tough games, but losing all three home games against the major top three teams says it all. If they were contendors, they'd be boasting of at least three points from those three games, instead, they boast nothing, having conceded 6 goals, and on two of those occasions given away a lead to lose the game.
No, if I were a Liverpool manager, I'd be looking to field strong teams in the cups in the hope of finding a back-door into the UEFA Cup.

Cruel man - the word is 'optimists' not fools.
However unlikely this may seem at the moment it is probably the only way to stem the tide of fans going over to the 'get rid of Houllier' camp.
If houllier was to be pushed, that's who i would want to replace him.
Surely you couldnt help but shout you head off when Giggs scored! :D
