A Richard Dunne own goal (an unwelcome record 8th in the Premiership) proved the only difference
between the teams at the final whistle, but Gérard Houllier will be left scratching his head
wondering why the side he sent out struggled to get a foot into this game until the 2nd half.
Perhaps team selection had a lot to do with it; Stephen Ireland far from settled, Richard Dunne
far from fitness, but the XI that took to the field ought to have been able to demonstrate a little
more composure and cohesion during the first half.
