I just sometimes fail to comprehend what goes through the mind of our beloved Gerard Houllier, manager of football club, Liverpool F.C. Imagine this. You have just been given a wake up call by your chairman. "Champions League, or you're OUT", said the great David Moores. So, what us mere mortals would normally do if faced in a sticky situation like that, would be to buck up and try and get a win in the next game, which is incidently at Anfield, against some tricky opposition. Obviously.

"Don't be an idiot", says Monsier Houllier, "We must defend defend defend. Lump it up to Heskey! Yes! Lump it some more! Yeah baby yeah! And you two, Florent, and TOny, sit on the bench and see how true football SHOULD be played! Not that nonsense that you two dish out. Flair? Thats a bad word! Like the other F word. Tony, look at Vladi there, how he falls all the time and always seems to be passing to the opposition. The opposition are our friends, and if you pass the ball to them often enough they might let you have a bar of chocolate at the end of the game. And you Florent! What do you think you are doing running around so fast like that and shooting towards the goal!? Look at your brudda Heskey there! Run run fall. Pass the ball to the opposition. Run run fall. Pass the ball to the opposition. Run run fall. What on earth were u thinking hitting that barn door?! Now thats more like it!! Lump it up to Heskey. Yeah baby yeah."

I just do not understand the logic behind fielding a defensive-minded team when you should be playing to WIN against the Saints. At HOME! From the very beginning, i could see that he was out for a draw since he started off with 5 midfielders. Games like these, Liverpool Football Club should be playing to win, and not by camping in front of the goal taking in all the pressure from the opposition, scrapping it out in the midfield, and definitely not by lumping it up to Heskey at every single chance. In games like these, we should be in control, piling the pressure on THEM. My opinion is, that Houllier has finally lost his balls. He initially started this season by playing some "oh so wonderful" free flowing attacking football, but now since the results aren't really going his way, and him probably feeling the heat from the Chairman, these factors have percipitated to his balls shrinking, and him trying to go back to his "oh so dull" ways. The problem with this now is, the team can't seem to defend properly anymore. So you can't attack, and you can't defend. This can only be a recipe for a major disaster.

Once he DID decide to change it up, the results were so obvious for everyone to see, since it definitely wasnt coincidence that the period of time which we were so in control of the game and looked like scoring at any time (and we did indeed score), was the same time when we reverted back to a 442 formation with 2 playing up front. Even though we did let in another goal then, but we also look so much more threatening and i felt that we could just score at will, considering the amount of chances that were created. Just imagine if we started playing 442 from the very beginning. Would it be any better. Only god knows.

Houllier has given some comments saying that we were missing Owen and Kewell, and if Arsenal were missing Henry or Pires, or Manchester United were missing Nistelrooy or Scholes, they would be in the same shit we are. I beg to differ, Mr Houllier. you have spent in excess of 100 million pounds ever since you started, and Owen and Kewell cost you 5 million pounds in total, or around there. So where did the 95 million pounds go to? It went to the Cheryou's and Diao's and sad to say, Diouf's that you bought. Anyway, i would still support Liverpool no matter what, whoever's at the helm. BUT. End of the season, no champions league, i want Houllier out. There has also been some articles i have read, mentioning that StevieG has said that he might look elsewhere if he can't get the success in Liverpool. All i can say to him is, keep your mouth shut and leave the talking on the field. His comments have no benefit whatsoever to anyone and can only bring down the clubs morale lower. He, as the captain of the club, should have known better. Show us that you want to win things with Liverpool by giving you're 100% on the field. If you do that, i have no complaints for you.

"We got him"

Yeap, they finally did. I didn't agree with the invasion of Iraq and i still don't agree with it now, not until they have shown me the weapons of mass destruction they for so long have been trying to find. It just pisses it off sometimes looking at the American "Government" doing what they bloody well please just because THEY feel its right, disregarding views of everyone else. Well almost. They can be quite arrogant sometimes. (Not that i have anything against Americans in general, or the people who work there, or their education system, or any Malaysian with American degrees nor any Malaysians that have worked in the States. No no no. I have absolutely nothing against them.) It just sometimes scary to know that they might just accuse Malaysia of harboring terrorists and then accuse us of not coorperating in their invetigations citing that we are hiding something. Next thing you know, we'll have weapons of mass destruction being built in the Nuclear Research Center in Bangi (or wherever). Funny and a bit extreme and very unlikely to happen. But think about it!

Anyway, enough rants for now. Later
