I think Houllier has lost the dressing room... Just look at the players performance. Still players are loyal, and of course they will come out and say they support the manager.
In Norway the national team played like utter shite, and could`nt even score at the grafton. John Arne Riise, amongst others, then came out and said the boss was the best one for the job, and that it was up to the players to get it right.. Then they changed manager, and suddenly they scored 16 goals in their first 4 games games. And the players then praised the new coach, and said how good it was to play under a coach who dared to attack and that used players in their right positions.
Sounds familiar??
Clearly it`s time for a change!
