Not surprised, the difference between our first season with him and the second season was too large to be normal.

It just looked like how mourinho won with madrid 100 points record and the next season quarelled with casilas and it became a freak show

I don't think it was all Carlo's fault, i think by in large the team (mainly the attacking players) just hit father time and it showed in the lethargic performances, when a defender comes in and is one of our main attacking threats we know something has seriously gone wrong.

Having said that Carlo's tactics and way of going about things didn't help, what on earth was he doing announcing the lineup's in the press conference? like against Villa when he announced Bruma would play, if Houllier wasn't planning on playing Heskey then that changed pretty quickly after hearing that.

His public scapegoating of Luiz pissed me off, he sat there all season while our squad were strolling in first gear then decided to have a go at one of the few players who actually looked like he wanted to play that season and was one of the main reason's we got back in the title race in the first place.

Although i did want him to have one more season to rectify his mistakes from that term, that season was so bad, i try and find the positives in any situation but even i was struggling that term, that Liverpool match at home is still to this day the only one that has had me in tears.

My money is on Henrique 'The Rebel Without a Clue' Hilario.

I can easily imagine him arriving late to teams talks, smoking a cigar in his leather jacket and sunglasses. Feet up on Carlo's desk and all. Fearless.

not to mention riding his Harley to matches. Total badass

Yea he didn't do well with luiz. Luiz was the person that gave his all for us, it was a breath of fresh air.

I really loved our style of football in the first season, it was glorious. But I think that second season definitely was more than just scape goating luiz and selling deco and ballack.

It was just too huge of a difference in our football play like what happened with madrid last season.
