Don't blame Dudek

The Red's boss believes all fourteen men who participated in this latest debacle should share the blame. The Polish Keeper spilled an effort from Steed Malbranque, allowing Sava to give Fulham a lead they never surrendered.

Houllier said: "Jerzy is part of a 14 man squad that lost this game. He is not to blame. He is going through a bad spell - just like the rest of us.

"He will bounce back. Before this game he had conceded just 26 goals in his first 50 league games for us. And that is a record better than Ray Clemence and Bruce Grobbelaar."
