Argghh.
In a word.
Liverpool loses this morning (and I had to watch it LIVE). The horror!
Beaten by Pompey in Portsmouth (0-1). Two penalties given (one correct, one incorrect and withdrawn). Penalty saved. One breakdown of an otherwise very good defence yields a goal and then it's ten men behind the ball for the rest of the match.
Portsmouth looked like Liverpool used to look a couple of years ago. I felt sure that adding Jamie Carragher and Stephane Henchoz and Dietmar Hamann back into their defence would improve their game immeasurably. From the look on Gerard Houllier's face, he thought so as well.
So now we have only to look forwad to the UEFA Cup (26 Feb). Without that, I fear that Houllier may not be with us next season. Nor, perhaps, Michael Owen.
