The optimism around here is great but a year ago when BR started and some on here said we are improving slowly, they got laughed at. Now that we are looking pretty everyone is jumping on the bandwagon. What would people be saying if we didnt beat united and weren't looking good? Would they still be as excited about this team, would they still believe we have a very strong group of players?
I think we have a very good squad, but still need a few more to challenge for the title, but as far as top 4 is concerned, i think we have as good a chance as any team. I have been saying this from the get go. I have faith in Rodgers and the owners and the players we have at the moment.
I agree on some of that Prolific, we had a reasonable first eleven last season with some weak areas, we needed 3 - 4 top signings to make us a strong CL contender, and we still do, though perhaps one less than then. However the squad has been strengthened with more competition in some areas, mainly at the back and up front, but it remains to be seen if there’s been sufficient quality added, particularly up front, I have my doubts whilst hoping to be proved wrong.
What’s most encouraging for me at the start of this season, is the way Rodgers ideas and coaching is coming together, rather than any of the new recruits, though I’m hopeful Sakho and Moses might do a Sturridge and a Coutinho for us and hit the ground running, and to be fair Migs has already done so. As I say I want to be wrong but time will tell I suppose.
