Couldnt have said it better.
: Some valid points there and I believe too that GH is too
: blame but so are the players, coaching staff, and
: board. Unfortunately GH, whom I still believe is the
: man to take us towards the future invested far too
: heavily in potential and perhaps really what we
: missed last season was Experience - hence why this
: summer his focus is on bringing players in of that
: nature.
: LIke you though I am not convinced of Traore though I
: disagree about Heskey. His first touch lets him down
: but the service he gets isn't that great.
: Problem is we don't play to Heskeys strengths. He is
: big, fast and good in the air. We don't have players
: that can cross the ball on the flanks where I
: believe a big target man like Emile would benefit.
: Baros & Owen are too completely different
: players, very fast, skilled on the ball and can beat
: defenders. Heskey isn't that kinda player but I
: think he still has a part to play.
: Anyway as I said some of your comments ring true - it
: has been a very frustrating season for everyone but
: I don't think O'Neill is the key.
: Go the Reds

: So, 5th place in the Premiership, not La Liga or Serie
: A,
: the Preiership...knocked out of the FA Cup at home
: to Palace in a replay 2-0, couldn't beat Basle
: (Brush) in 2 attempts, completely outplayed by
: Valencia, knocked out of Uefa by Celtic, won
: Worhless Cup (saved GH's job) and imagine this...we
: have City at home and Chelsea away to get into the
: CL. We never lose to City and never win at the
: Bridge...
: Now we all know what happened what with losing BOTH
: games, with the CL on the line - what about
: Liverpool's performances - as passionate as a 75
: year old Librarian gets when a book is returned on
: time! It was a season of embarassment. Players
: didn't perform, the manager made excuse after
: excuse, it's his job to get them to do the business
: on the pitch, that's what he's paid for.
: And what about the signings??? Duds.
: Heskey? Donkey. How anyone can defend him is beyond me.
: Traore? Bambi. I cannot believe he has played so
: many games at centre half. Why didn't we compete for
: the like of Woodgate (OK, maybe he wanted to go back
: to Newky) and Upson.
: Last year I called for Martin O'Neill - and some people
: on this website said he's only good for mediocre
: teams or players and used Neil Lennon and leicester,
: etc. as examples. Well, at least he got Heskey to
: perform! And look what he's done at Leicester. And
: now Celtic!!! They played us off the park, they
: fought, they played with passion, they stuffed us
: 2-0 at home!!! And now they're in a European
: final...and they've got players like Neil Lennon and
: John Hartson, and Rab Douglas and Mjallby. Imagine
: what he could do with Hyppia, Gerrard and Owen!!!
: Houiller has taken Liverpool as far as he can. He's not
: a bad guy, he just isn't good enough to take us a
: step further. MARTIN O'NEILL is the man for the job
: - the problem with LFC not being a PLC is that they
: won't pull the trigger. However, they have to do it
: this summer, or we're in for another season of
: embarassment and Uefa Cup football again next year.
