houllier did well for this club but eventually got found out. everything we did under houllier was based on counter attacking football and using michael owen's pace. whilst this worked for a couple of seasons, eventually teams learnt how to negate us and we struggled unless stevie g produced a bit of inspiration. also, if we suffered a bad result when on a good run (see boro in 2002-2003) we tended to follow it up with a disastrous run of results. under rafa, this just doesn't look like happening. the emphasis is far more on the team than it is on certain individuals and we are seriously going places.

So that means 4 players from the Houllier reign are good enough to play in a team managed by Raffa Benitez...
Well I must agree, that is £120 million well spent!!!!
Carragher,Gerrard and were produced by the academy...true but it was houllier who game them a chance to play at the highest level.
At the moment,we are selling our best emerging talent which is demoralizing to the others coming up.Look at the promising youngsters we are disposing of at the moment...
So give GH his due credits....if we had another manager at that time we most probably wouldnt be having carra or Gerrard.

Mudface I have read your posts with interest but ultimately it has waned. Is there any chance that we can fast-forward to the exciting bit where you are outed (I'm referring of course to the team you actually support rather than any sexual leanings?). You know the drill, somebody on here finds you on another clubs site telling 'em all how you've convinced us all that you are a Liverpool supporter. My how we all laughed. Then you can do your nah nah nah-nah nah post and leave us all in peace.
