I think Hyypia is back to his best this season, the only thing hampering him is the fact that he has to do all the work himself, and playing alongside Biscan & Riise/Traore don't exactly give you confidence does it?
The sooner Houllier conceeds to the fact that Biscan never will be a defender and puts Henchoz back in his place then you will see the proper defensive unit of Hamann, Henchoz & Hyypia. Also add to that the soon to be fit again Carragher & Finnan, and the defense is all sorted again.
If anyone has to go its got to be Riise, wtf is he playing at? Every time he gets the ball he just wacks it up field, not with any precision either, he just tears leather of the ball he hits it that hard., He doesn't take players on anymore, he has no confidence and his defending at times is terrible, sooner Carragher is back the better.
The only two players I can say who have improved the team the past few weeks are Hamann & Heskey, where is Heskey suddenly getting all this confidence from to play little 1 - 2's and I counted 3 times yesterday when he flicked the ball on with the back of his foot, he even ran at defenders and scared them silly, (pity about the finishing) but why the hell won't he do that all the time, him and Owen were linking up very well indeed.
Cheyrou is not a right sided midfielder so should not be played there, as we seen against Chelsea his best position is behind the front two, from there he makes his runs into the box and sets up others, that kid Semmy should be giving the go ahead to play at right midfield, or mabye even Welslh, any of them would be better than Cheyrou.
Very dissapointed in yesterday's defeat, was kinda expecting it though as Spurs have been on one hell of a run recently, bit gutted about the peno decisions but hopefully things will even out over the course of the season.
