Gerard Houllier is an idiot

Postby blues2win » Thu Mar 03, 2011 9:09 am

Here's what he said last night. 'We had better quality in terms of passing and movement. I told the boys you don't have to be ashamed of your performance, you've done well''. If getting stuffed three nil- and it could easily have been more- if that is doing well I don't know what doing badly would be. I can see that he wants to lift his team after the match but to come out in public and say they were the better team is totally ridiculous.

What a plonker.

He also said that he team selection didn't matter as even his first string team would have lost against City last night.

Failing to mention we didn't have Kolo, Kompany, Tevez, Dzeko, de Jong or Johnson starting.

I don't doubt the team selection gave the game to City on a plate but we would have won anyway. A very strange over cautious decision.

I can understand him leaving his best players (Downing, Young) on the bench to protect them for important league games.

BUT

Why the fuck would you then throw them on with 20 minutes remaining and the game gone?

With a quarter final at home to a championship side beckoning, I found his team selection bemusing to say the least. Villa are extremely unlikely to be relegated as there is just so much dross down there with them.

To then follow that up by using some of the players he had left out as subs for a full 20 minutes was 'criminal'. Had they suffered injury he would have been shown up for the total fool that he is.

team selection was odd but fair play to him for this re Balo's card

Villa manager Gerard Houllier said: 'It was right in front of me. It looked harsh at the time but I have seen it again and I don't think he did it on purpose.'

Miserable looking fucker with a miserable outlook on football.

He's the reason I turned off a champion's league match between Barcelona and Liverpool at half time.

BORING.

Villa’s starting 11 included Friedel, Dunne, Clark, Petrov, Agbonlahor and Heskey, they have all been regular first teamers at Villa this season.

City’s starting 11 was missing DeJong, Milner, Kompany, A.Johnson, Kolo Toure, Tevez and Dzeko.

I wish somebody would tell Houllier if you’re going to make a stupid comment don’t just quote what you’ve heard from ill informed pundits, check the facts!! Unfortunately none of the pundits who are in place to give such opinions have the first clue about teams like City and Villa, when they see us all they can talk about is money, top 4 and wasnt that fair challenge by DeJong too wreckless?

I have to say that much was made of City beating a weakened Villa side and the comment was made during the BBC 5 live Post match Report. It was stressed that Young and Downing weren't in the starting 11. No mention at all was made of any City players missing...Bad reportage...or deliberate?

Mate, I read one report where they said "Houllier's decision to rest Young and Downing" and then further down in the story is said "Mancini axed Tevez and Dzeko" and people wonder why we're paranoid.

Cheerrs Slim.
This shite used to really get me mad, occasionally I still get drawn in and become annoyed. I'm not sure why your post made me chuckle. Maybe it's just the sad the inevitability of the reportage.
As I was reading your post, SSN was making a big deal about the Villa missing players, interviewing Houllier and even getting a 2nd opinion from Owen Coyle.

Dear Agony Aunt...Have I become immune? Has my skin become so thick skinned? or Have I just ceased caring what they say about us?
