Gerard Houllier met up with his Liverpool players today for the first time since underoing heart surgery six weeks ago.

The Liverpool boss was a surprise visitor to the Reds training ground before training, where he held a ten minute meeting with his players.

His assistant Phil Thompson revealed: "Gerard always said he would come in and see the lads when he felt strong enough. Don't forget, he hadn't seen any of them since half time against Leeds.

"The players were all really pleased to see him and you could see the smiles on their faces when he walked through the door. It was a nice moment.

"He got all the staff together, including all the young players, and spoke to them for about ten minutes. He said he was proud of the efforts everybody has been making in his absence and stressed the importance of keeping the good run going. As usual, his team talk was absolutely outstanding. He told them all he will be back and they were really happy to hear that."

Not being disrepectful at all actually, just GHs conversations are of no interest to me whatsoever.

Very true. I can just see it: Typically enraged and righteously indignant barca.

So why take the time to read a topic entitled "Houllier visits players at Melwood"? Glutton for punishment?

Could you produce just one post without using the words 'bitter' or 'bitterness'?

Very ironic since all the bitterness comes from loonypool fans who haven't won the league for 11 years...and counting
