Following Saturday’s defeat at home to Wolves, Houllier’s side sit 1 point above the relegation zone, and Krulak drew on comparisons between the fight to stay up and fighting in war, writing on Villa Talk, a fan’s forum:
“When my marines put on their uniforms and the emblem of the corps and went into battle and things got tough, they did not fight for their commander, they fought for their brothers-in-arms, the men wearing their uniform and emblem.”
“When a player puts on a kit and wears the club badge, I would expect the same. We have very good lads who know how to play with passion. We have all seen them do it and have cheered them on. They are professionals who have given 110% in many games.”
“What we need now is to quit pointing fingers and everyone look at the claret and blue of our kit and the badge they are wearing and go out and kick the crap out of the next teams we play until the end of the season!”
