Hands up who feared the absolute worst when Lucas came off, how many times did we get overrun by sh*te sides last season without him there? I know i was grasping for a fresh pair of kegs. But we maintained, more than that we dominated the midfield of the championswithout Lucas. It feels funny even saying it. No one man was burdened with the responsibility and Rodgers should be applauded for that due to a.) Getting Allen in who's perfect for what we need and what we're going for and B.) his system and getting the other midfielders to pull their fingers out of their arse. We need to keep that going.
I'm sat here grinning like a pr**k, the amount of youth in that side was really encouraging and Brendan deserves great credit for showing them all faith, which they all to a man repaid.
Allen looks top class, Assaidi, Nuri F***ing SAHIN and maybe one or two more still to come in, we've got less older players than many a year and bunch of quality lads brimming with youth and desire with up being the only destination to go and a manager who seemingly seems capable and willing to guide them there.
We'll surely make more mistakes and jitter along the way to real possession domination and consistency with the new system and all but thats what we're going for, total domination. I'd rather strive for that, make some F**k ups and be patient than just throw sh*t together and cross my fingers and hope Suarez has a great game. It's not gonna' be easy or immediate and mistakes should be expected , especially this early obviously.
I certainly think we can get there. Proud of 'em all and genuinely hopeful overall i must say.
Next game please
