Gerard Houllier
turned Liverpool around last season and they just missed out on a place in
the Champions League. Much will depend on the fitness of Michael Owen and
Robbie Fowler in the weeks to come. Houllier knows that expectation, inside
Anfield and beyond, is growing for him to deliver a first trophy of his reign,
to challenge United and establish Liverpool as a modern force rather than
a club with a great future behind them.
 |
|
Markus Babbel
|
His first season
was about taking stock. Last year a rebuilt squad containing eight new signings
worth £36 million showed pedigree and promise but fell two points short
of a Champions League place due to a collapse of three defeats in their
last four games.
It leaves space
for improvement and this summer the total has reached a nice round £50m
(though Houllier points out he has recouped around half that in sales) with
the addition of Nicky Barmby, Markus Babbel, and Bernard Diomede. It may
well rise with the acquisition of Christian Ziege from Middlesbrough. The
wage bill certainly has, with Gary McAllister's arrival.
 |
|
Bernard Diomede
|
Houllier certainly
expects more from his strikers this season, after missing Fowler and Owen
for much of the last campaign. Heskey will come under particularly close
scrutiny after his £11m move last March, but not as much as Houllier himself.
