Last year I was continuously refusing to accept the fact, that Suarez was the only reason for our good performances.
I was saying that football is a team game and although he is our most valuable asset the whole team contributes to our good results.
Also I was praising BR for using Gerrard as a deep lying MF.
However, the weak defense was there all along. Terrible defense but an awesome attack.
This year the defense stayed the same. We pretty much gonna end up at around 50 goals against, but we are far away from the 101 that we scored last year.
I do not only blame BR. It's the whole team that has been confused by the departure of Suarez and the constant injuries of Sturridge. There is a lack of confidence and you can see that in the way we play. Last year the players were coming on the pitch and you can sense the confidence. This year you can see the fear of a potential defeat in every game.
BR is 100% responsible for the transfers he picked, and for the stubbornness of not having a plan B when everything is wrong.
However, FSG should also have a plan B when everything goes wrong and I do not mean to sack the manager.
It's dark times. I hope that with a win in the CHL the confidence will come back.
