Under Evans, Liverpool won the 1995 League Cup with Evans' prized star, Steve McManaman, scoring both goals in a 2-1 win over Bolton Wanderers. However, four years of underachievement in the League (by the top British club's high standards) characterised by the side's consistent failure to depose Manchester United as England's top club, compounded with rumoured flamboyant off the field indiscipline of the team at the time eventually forced the club's hand, and, in 1998, they invited French coach Gérard Houllier to share management duties with Evans. This appointment was viewed with scepticism by fans and media alike and indeed, it did not work out.
