Great opening post β I will ignore a lot of the above as itβs either Rafa talk, or some WUM like behaviour...
This season, for me was a write off. The reality is that we will not qualify for 4th spot this season, I would love us to and I will shout, scream and chant like we are winning every game 10-0... But a lot of fans need to get realistic.
They also need to forget Rafa β ok, not forget him but move the F**k on... He is not coming back, he will never manage us again β seriously stop going on about him in every thread.
Now β where can we finish this term. Again, I wrote this season off as a loss before it started with my defeatist attitude β we have the talent in some areas but not all β and nowhere near what we need to have. Anfield has not become the fortress it once was and a poor transfer window and run of results has left teams believing. Something that we need to stamp out ASAP... I like the post from What-A-Hit-Son and I believe that although a little optimistic β we can still be in the hunt for a decent season, and that 4th spot that everyone wants. However, the reality is that there are a lot more teams around us now that are decent, and there is a lot more money that needs to be spent β also some of these games I look at and instantly think, we can win easily β before thinking about it...
Can we really assume that our win percentage will go from 20% to 70% looking at the first 10 games vs the next 10..? I would say no, in fact I would go as far to say that is madness...
We are getting better, we are dominating games. Do we need a world class striker β well yes. Suarez is scoring heavily at the moment β in a season where we have won 2 games we have the second placed scorer in the league. But with the opportunities we create we could be a lot better off β we need 2 players who will score on the attacking wings.
In my opinion we will finish mid table this time round β especially if we continue like this, then make a real push if we can buy in players and not lose any. A task that is more difficult than holding out for 4th place.
