Do you think Houllier will last till the end of the
season?Or will we see a resignation or sack?
I will love to see the gaffer leave his position but being the
stubborn man he is will not allow it to happen.He has spent so much
money on players,almost 100 million pounds i must add.But at the
end of the day,the team is still reliant on several key
players.Michael Owen,Harry Kewell and Steven Gerrard.Mind you 2 of
these 3 were already at Anfield when Houllier took over and Kewell
came from Leeds on a cheap.
So where did the money go to?Bruno Cheyrou,Igor Biscan,EL Hadji
Diouf,Salif Diao.That's almost 25 million already.Not to mention 11
million pound striker?Emile Heskey.Did I say Striker?Sheesh.
Money aside,the tactics the gaffer uses on the team is more often
than not highly questionable.From fielding Kewell on the right to
Heskey in midfield.Salif Diao at Right back and 2 defensive
midfielders in the middle.These are really reallly wierd
decisions.
So the team is languishing in mid table mediocrity and the team is
relying on raw Sinama Pongolle for goals.Le Tellac to make
something special.The defence is leaking goals and it's not
surprising at all with Biscan in the middle.His poor positioning is
cause for a lot of goals conceeded this season.
So what now Houllier?The fans have heard too much of "I think we
should have won the game" and "We were without several key players"
or "we will turn the corner".After all that money spent,we are
still relying on key players to win matches?
Frankly,I can't see Houllier keeping his job next season.End of
this season,maybe.But after,not quite.
