Liverpool have gone back since Houllier

When Gerrard Houllier was gaffer they lacked width, played with little creativity but could win a game.
Gerrard Houllier would not have lost 4-1 yesterday, I dont care what people say about Chelsea. Houllier would not have sold Murphy or Owen. Houllier would nerver play 4-2-3-1 in the premiership. Noone does that because the premiership is not a technical league. Even the special one is not technical in the league which is why liverpool will not a get a champions league slot this season. Already 17 points behind and the gap will get bigger and i just dont see where they are guaranteed to get their next win. Why play Garcia out wide? And ask Wigan, chelsea dont like teams that run at them hard and fast through the middle. Benitez's side are not clever, they never will be. They dont have a mista but they could have done with cisse through the middle.

The only thing that this shows is that maybe Rafa is not a premirship coach. Which makes me think maybe Martin O'neill at the end of this season until Rafa gets his act together.

As for Arsenal, I would like to see Reyes play up top more and see what he can do. he is not afraid to make the shot and one of these days he is going top start scoring more of them. The art of shot-making is dying because everyone is trying to lay it for a tap-in. It just makes it all one-dimensional to be honest.

Henry says he is not discussing a contract till the end of the season. If he wants to go send him away. Thank him for his contribution but you get the feeling that this Arsenal team is gelling and coming good.

Just in case u dont know...

Arsene Wenger

The first time I heard he was joining Arsenal, I didnt bat an eyelid. Mind you I was preparing for my O Level exams at the time and let's face it, the Arsenal were not setting the stage alight so who would blame them for signing some French fella. I joked that maybe they figured they needed someone with a name as close to Arsenal as possible. Little did I know the effect he would have on the team. I am not sure there is anything I can say that hasnt been already said in the last week or two about the impact he has had on Arsenal, english, european and dare I say world football. One qualify world football on the basis of how many teams actually want to do things the Arsenal way. And it is all encapsulated in one man, Arsene Wenger. Even here in Zimbabwe you have teams trying to model themselves on the Arsenal system, on and off the pitch and it reaps rewards for them, the national coach is a brilliant example of that. Personally, I am humbled. I can not point out one moment of magic...

Maybe Arsenal need to practice shooting

I dont think there is a team that creates as many chances as Arsenal in the Premiership. So much so I think if we got one player who had the slightest interest in scoring we would be sending many teams down. But alas we create the chances and we are left wondering about what cvould have been. Arsene blames it on naivety but in all fairness Arsenal have been guilty of the self same thing for a while now. Sometimes you just need to score said Thierry Henry. So why dont you just score mate? Entertainment is all very well but being so far behind the chavs and the mancs is isnt fun either. I know they will get it but hopefully we wont be too far behind to make a difference. On yesterday's peformances two players did particularly well for me. Hleb and Flamini. Flamini worked in that role tirelessly in the middle and Hleb is becoming a real threat almost everytime we play. Now you simply cant leave him out... Congratulations fto Robinson on the England win... Canct wauit for the Ashes..

What we all really knew

Thierry Henry has pledged his future to Arsenal. I said in a recent post that it all came down to whether he believed that he was the right man to lead the team into the next version of Arsenal. And he proved me right by making to very important points, that he wantede to lead the team into the new stadium and more importantly was staying to build the team into one of the strongest in Europe. Obviously he heard something he liked from the gaffer otherwise he wouldnt have bothered. And most importantly he sees something in these kids and the tone of his post-match conferences and media releases seem to show he has confidence in the lads and that he believes they wull grow up very quickly. He should be live they will be ready soon otherwise at his age he might have felt he would run out of time before they were ripe. Perhaps this could be the turn-around point of Arsenal's season because you began to get the feeling that the team was not sure of the leader of the team. They were too ...
