The ever so congested December fixture list has arrived, and we're two games into it. One win, albeit it in the scrappiest manner away to Leicester City, and one draw at home to Sunderland. Neither performances were overly convincing; however, we have seemingly resorted to the basics and it appears that our first aim is to build from the back. That's completely understandable to me, as we were being humiliated by the likes of Newcastle, West Ham, and Crystal Palace.
So on we go, but upwards? Admittedly we are already out of the race for the PL title - that was established early on. However, we are still involved in the League Cup and the Champions League. Two games of huge importance in my opinion. Champions League by means of finance (and the possibility it may be our last CL game for many years) and the League Cup because it's the only silverware we stand a chance of winning (how our fans would love a trip to Wembley).
Does anyone else think that December is also a make or break month for Brendan Rodgers?
Liverpool v FC Basel
Man Utd v Liverpool
Bournemouth v Liverpool
Liverpool v Arsenal
Burnley v Liverpool
Liverpool v Swansea
Admittedly every game is huge for a club of this magnitude. We should always go out there with the intention of winning every game possible. In my opinion these next four games are HUGE. The importance of the Basel game speaks for itself, but a win against the mancs would work absolute wonders for the spirit of this team. We all need that lift, and that game could well be the one. I hope Brendan can drastically turn this around in the same manner Pardew did for Newcastle. I'd love it if Brendan could prove his doubters wrong, and give fans like myself the middle finger.
So December - make or break?
