Surreal to imagine us lining up in August without him.
Indeed.
I also really liked Houllier, I think he had a heart for the club too, but towards the end of his leadership the football got so bad and negative that it felt like his time was up.
And although Benitez has also made mistakes, some small and some bigger, I never had the feeling we were gonna desert him.
He was a real unique character in the game, his charm in a way went further then just being a football coach.
He seemed to relate to the people of Liverpool in a way that's not often seen in football anymore.
He had something "Shankly" about him.
I can't believe he was put out with the trash.
We had a really bad season, but part of that was beyond anyone's control, we were plagued with injury.
But Benitez didn't deserve to be cast aside like this.
I think this nasty afair puts a bit of shame on Liverpool football club.
