No knee-jerk decision on Houllier - Lawrenson

Former Liverpool defender Mark Lawrenson does not think the Anfield club will make any snap decisions over Gerard Houllier’s future and insists the team are good enough to claim a Champions League place this season despite their recent inconsistency.

Pressure has increased on manager Houllier after the Reds slipped to ninth place in the Barclaycard Premiership after Saturday’s 2-1 defeat by Southampton.
