I'm amazed at some of the reaction to our start to the season.
I get that it's been very frustrating at times, but given what we knew coming in (what with the new manager, paper-thin squad, very tough start, etc), the fact that a win tomorrow sees us within site of 4th, with 75% of the season left, has me relatively satisfied with what I've seen so far. Satisfied enough to think that things are moving in the right direction, anyway... We're also doing fine in the Europa league so far and some of the youngsters have really impressed with their performances.
Luck and poor decisions see us anywhere from 4 to 10 points worse off than we might have been... We'd all be happy then, I think. And please don't do the whole "If your aunt..." shit - I know that. My point is that some of the reaction would have you believe that nothing's going right, the players don't care and there's absolutely nothing positive coming out of Anfield at all so far.
I don't get it.
