βIt would be great to see an end to the United/Arsenal duopoly, but β again as a neutral - Liverpool bore me rigid. Looking through the team, there are few characters and little flair. The fact that there was no room at the inn for the delightful talents of Jari Litmanen tells a story. Hopefully El Hadji Diouf will get more opportunity.
Gerard Houllier's team are currently winning games with their only shots on target and have mastered the art of winning when playing badly that is The True Mark Of Champions/going to go tits up when their luck runs out. It's not pretty.
Houllier has hit upon a simple but effective methods of winning games that even Jamie Carragher can understand: Hyppia do header, Hamann do tackling, Gerrard do long pass, Heskey do pushing, Owen do running fast and score.β
