But we should be beating teams like that regularly, if we had of lost it would of been a shock thats why I'm guessing that it's quiet hadnt beat sunderland at anfield for 2 seasons and hadnt beat wigan or fulham last season either so ok beating team lower than liverpool but you need to beat them aswell . huh?

Let's not get carried away because we are 'riding high' in the 8th (the position that cost Kenny his job). Our decent run has coincided with a very easy string of fixtures. Look at all the teams we have beaten this season.....
Norwich
Reading
Wigan
Southampton
West Ham
Fulham
QPR
Sunderland
You would expect these teams to fill the bottom 8 places in the league when May comes around. Every 'test' against someone decent has ended in a draw or a defeat. That is where we are at the moment. We are capable of beating relegation fodder but seriously struggle against anyone expected to finish in the top half.
All I am saying is that we shouldn't get over excited because it is very likely that we will start to slip back down the table now that we are due to come up against some half decent teams.
Please don't over praise Brendan right now, and let's not be overly criticial when results go back to normal. why for once cant liverpool fans be happy , last two games liverpool played great especially against sunderland , people are quick enough to pick the holes in the team when liverpool lose so why cant we just rejoice at a few very decent wins and a decent climb up the table . You can. No one is stopping you.

faz people have opinions if we all just said we were happy there would be nothing more to say. yes we won but a lot of room for improvement to discuss stan poster are quick enough to criticise but dont seem as quick when its a bit better like recently . faz I would imagine most people on here are delighted when we win, but I think we have been so up and down this season that many of us are almost afraid to get our hopes up. We have 3 huge games coming up this month and they will tell us a lot about how we are progressing under BR. When we played these teams at the beginning of the season we probably didnt get what we deserved so there is no reason why we cant go into these games with some optimism. Winning is always brilliant, the next step now is some consistency and we will see if we are any further forward in that respect by the end of the month. ok big games coming up , but if liverpool had lost last night threads everywhere with the usual nonsense on them , but liverpool win well its very quiet . Very Quiet = No complaints = People happy with result and phoning Mancs and Chavs and Bluenoses to blag about our win.

So what do you want people to say? We did what was expected from us and a number of threads said that they were happy with the result and performance. Does the yesterday result prove that we are a top team now? Definitely not, beating Sunderland at home is what is to be expected. If we do beat Manure next game, then yes, that would be a great result and unexpected right now (we haven't been able to beat any top side so far this season).

This season I was hoping we'd put away the lower sides and be competitive vs the top sides.....to a large extent this is happening (not a great target maybe mediocrity is nothing to shout about).....next we need to make anfield a fortress and start taking points from the big boys

If we beat united, then we have a shot at top 4. Until then, it doesn't look likely. If we beat Arsenal and United though, I think we have a chance. We're starting to put it together and figure things out. People besides Suarez are finally scoring goals and Gerrard is getting back to top form. If Sturridge can bag some goals and if we can stop the schizophrenic defensive errors, it is possible, but I think we should downplay it unless we can get a result against United and Arsenal.

If we do beat Manure next game, then yes, that would be a great result and unexpected right now (we haven't been able to beat any top side so far this season). the fact is beating the top 5/6 as they stand has never really been that much of a problem. we have had great days against City, Chelsea, Manu , Everton in recent seasons. plain and simple you beat the bottom 10 home and away then half of the next 4 teams then lose to the top 4 and you have 72points - more than enough for champs league football. my point beating the sunderland, Wigans and Fulhams are far more important than a draw and occasional win at Old trafford or Etihad. We need 12 wins from the last 17 to have a good chance of top 4. It is a big ask, but bare in mind 9 of those games are against teams below us, maybe not so. we need to change out attitude - big games are the bottom 14 clubs not the top 5
