I think many people forget that its not just LFC who have had poor seasons in the past.
Arsenal have, Utd have, and you could even say chelsea had last season?
Thing what makes this season different though, is the vast improvement of the competition. The league in general has improved in the last five years or so, but the likes of Villa, Spurs and now City all have a good chance of finishing in the top four.
That means, any side from the 'famous top 4' have a inconsistent season, they could lose out and finish 5th, 6th or dare say it, even 7th. Thats what we find ourseleves in right now, were going through a really really rough patch and in the previous years, when arsenal or utd weren't at their best, they would still be good enough to finish inside the top 4 because the rest of the league was pretty crap to be honest. Its not like that now.
Having a divide though and calling for Rafas head and moaning about the team week in week out makes the problem go from bad to worse. It really does. Look at the spurs game, from the whistle the fans were right behind the team and Rafa and then look what happened. The players responded and we smashed spurs to bits. If the Kop does the same against Bolton and then Everton, theres not a doubt in my mind we will pick up 6 points there.
All the Rafa-bashers out there, forget Rafa for now, just get behind the team like you usually/always do and just take some pressure off the lads for a change.
