Case in point - there was a time last season when we were frustrated and the BR out threads started appearing. We then clicked and went on was was an unbelievable winning streak to put us in title contention. At the time we were all surprised - no one thought we'd ever be in that position - but already this season we look back on last season as one of capitulation and failure. To go on that run was a stunning achievement - and to finally stumble in the last couple of games after such a long win streak with that squad was not something to be ashamed of.

I also remember moments during our two CL cup runs a few years ago when we never looked like getting out of the group. And at least two or three finals when we looked dead and buried.

The point is - we need a spark - something to click - and that could make all the difference. Imagine if we suddenly figured out how to serve Balotelli and Lambert - or all these promising positions that Lallana and Sterling got into suddenly produced goals - or Lovren and Skrtel started chipping in from corners - or one of our midfielders got a couple of Lampard deflections to win games - things could suddenly start changing. I'm not promising that this will happen - I'm just saying that things never stay the same in football.


Yes it could all change and our rivals arsenal and United (not city and Chelsea) are not pulling up trees. But we are a team that has lost Gerard and sureaz and we have no star players only good ones. Not sure that's enough

Firstly, we would be without Suarez for another month anyway.
Secondly it is not a shambles. The 2 full backs already look better than what we had last season. Lofgren looks a good signing too.

We have not let that many goals in. It's just that we are not outscoring our opponents like last season.

The only signings that worry me are Markovic and to a greater extent Lallana. I have a feeling we have signed one and a half Downings here.

Haha you're dangerously close to making me feel optimistic again KP, and just before bed time too! My wife will hate you for that. You should be a life coach!

I hope you're wrong, but I totally agree.

It was always going to be difficult without Suarez, but with Sturridge out as well, its only reasonable that the goal count would diminish beyond recognition. Surely we're well below last season's high standards, but all is not lost. I still see us favorites to qualify from the CL group stage as our main rival Basel still has to visit Anfield. In the Premier League, the first three places should go to Chelsea, City and Arsenal (in that order, I believe), while Tottenham and Everon are not good enough in the long run to make it. That leaves us and united to fight for fourth, and they're not in a much better situation than us at the moment. That said, we won't be achieving anything with the scrappy way we're playing. Hopefully, with the return of Sturridge, Allen and Can, and with people like Balotelli, Cutinho, Lallana and Markovic playing to their true potential,we will fare better. Always remember YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE, ever.
