Subject: Possible attack at Old Trafford

(Reuters) Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier has eased tension ahead of
his team's match against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday
by insisting he has no plans to attack Manchester.

Newspaper reports this morning claimed that there could be an attack on
Old Trafford on Saturday but Houllier has dismissed the reports as
completely unfounded and inaccurate.

Houllier told Reuters: "I don't know where these stories have come from.
Anyone who knows me and the football I like to play will know that I
have no intention of attacking Manchester United. We will be playing one
striker on his own against United, just as we did against Fulham at
Anfield on Saturday.

"I don't know if people have forgotten but last season, when we went a
goal down and had our captain sent off after 5 minutes, I immediately
took off Milan Baros in an attempt to nullify our attacking threat and
keep the score a respectable 1-nil to United. The fact that we lost
4-nil does not mean I made a mistake."

it's a must win game in which we need to be positive. if results fall, there could be 2 points between 4th and 11th on saturday.

If we dont win this game on saturday i honestly will cry. Im serious, there will be tears a plenty, i will more than likely have along sulk as well which will mean that all my work colleagues will get pi$$ed at me and i might lose my job!
We have to win, it is the must win of the season, by far

No doubt in my mind that if Baros doesnt start the game we wont win.
