Houllier has left us.
We have some good memories under Houllier, and please don't forget what he has done to the club. Remember the treble season? How Danny Murphy scored that goal at Old Trafford? How Gary McAllister scored that impossible goal from 40 yards in the dying minute at Goodison Park that kick started our season? How Michael Owen two-footed (yes, he scored with his left foot as well) destroyed Arsenal and brought us the FA Cup?
Remember how emotion the Kop were when Houllier returned and guided us to beat Roma? Remember Gerrard rushed 40 yards after scoring the goal vs Sofia?
Some people said Houllier is similar to Tung Chee-Hwa. Simply Rubbish. Tung brought Hong Kong from heaven to hell. Houllier did the opposite. He bring us from hell to heaven, though no yet to the seventh heaven yet.
In summary, I will give Houllier 7 out of 10. He brought us from hell to challenger, it's just he really can't bring us to the Champions. Maybe due to his illness or due to his personality, things just really don't work out as it should be. But credit must be given to him in guiding Gerrard back on to the right track. Without Houllier, Gerrard may be just another David Thompson.
Good luck, Gerard. You'll Never Walk Alone.
Rushian from Red and White Kop has written such a nice piece. Really sums up Houllier's contributions to the club.
