Houllier angry with the boo-boys

Last updated : 12 February 2004 By Kevin Smith
Liverpool played defensively during the final 30 minutes of the game and the Kop weren't happy, but Houllier insists it was the correct tactics.

"The whole team deserves credit, I am very proud of my men," he said after the game. "We created chances and played football, so what are they moaning about?

"Football is a game of two teams, and City can be very dangerous as they showed at Spurs last week."

"I am disappointed for my players because I think their effort deserved more than that," he said of the booing.

"You have to understand that when you play a good team it cannot all be one-sided. You have to give them respect.

"There were spells when they were better, I watched them even at Arsenal and they were unfortunate.

"First of all it is a good win, a good three points against a good team who can play good football."
