Overall, yesterday was a game which answered a few questions:
Without Sturridge, we are struggling in front, the deadly association with Sterling is missing. Our new boys. Ballo and Markovic, are not there yet physically, and that is what it is, simply fitness. A few more weeks and they'll be there, comments on the ego of Ballo are for me irrelevant. The lad delivered in other clubs, I'm sure he'll bags his fare share of goals this year.
Next the "drop Gerrard wagon", seriously am I reading right?? Steve will prove you wrong all season long. Suggesting to drop him is for me pure nonsense, especially now! We need him on the pitch because he is simply what we have best for that position and he will (like he did twice already this season) put us out of the hole. Besides, if a player was so poor, no team would mark him - individually- as it happens now.
Brendan need support, he made some strange calls regarding team selections and subs, fair enough, which are so unusual from him. He looks a bit lonely at the moment (Last year, Sakho wouldnt have dare to leave the game like that, maybe there is a bit of lost of authority there this year, again unusual for Brendan) we just need a bit of momentum going and he needs to be re-assured, and firstly from us!! The man is brilliant, I'm sure he'll get it back on track soon enough.
Forget the title! Although I'm very optimistic for us for the future, we need to call a cat...well a cat! 9 points behind the Chavs and I cant see them dropping much this year! It never play us well being favorite anyway. Let's stop talking about titles and let's "Go Again" next game and see where we are comes January.
Let's win the Champions League and finish 4th, Ill be more than happy with that.
