Houllier right man for Pool, says Barnes

JOHN BARNES is convinced Liverpool can still clinch a place in the Champions League next season — and that Gerard Houllier remains the right man for the job.

The Anfield manager yesterday dismissed reports he is set to leave the club to take up a post with Monaco.

Houllier has found himself under increasing pressure following the 2-1 defeat by Birmingham, which leaves them off the pace near the top of the table.
