It's not that's specific topic, it's a general mood amongst a segment of fans
Like I said I also have my resvations but also can't come to any conclusion just yet, at least give it a run of games.
What got to me was that rival fans like Chelsea, Arsenal, MU can't say anything because they are doing worse or aren't doing better but then the shots come from within.
Not saying the team are great, also not saying they are $h!t, we didn't see enough to come to conclusions like that
But what is for sure is that we have 6 points out of 6 in out of sorts days, we can enjoy that right now . Milner after both games said himself the performances aren't there yet, but is grateful to have full points in the meantime Fair enough it's way too early to come to conclusions but that's football fans the world over pretty sure if you went on United or chelsea forums there would be plenty of moaning about performances. And I remember when we were winning titles for fun people moaned then too as expectations were high and anything that was not perfect was focussed upon that's the way it us we are human beings that's what we do

2 games
6 points
clean sheets
Yet some act like we lost 5 games straight
I was one of those who wanted Rodgers replaced in the summer, he is still here but many changes were made, I still have my reservations but will at least wait to see how it all plays out, so far haven't seen anything alarming other than standard start of season sluggishness and we got full points despite of that.
Can we at least wait a bit and let the team have a reasonable run before coming to conclusions. The problem is, on here is that if you dare even whisper the slightest of criticisms you get a bunch of drama queens getting all bent out of shape & labeling you a doom & gloomer (I hate that expression). Please show me one post that even remotely resembles somebody acting like we lost 5 straight games & where do you get off calling people "fans" for not sharing your opinion. Win, lose or draw, fans are entitled to be pleased with or disappointed by the performances & this is a forum designed specifically for the expression of opinions.

Totally agree with the OP.
However cannot agree with being overrun by Bournemouth and Stoke as somebody put it. Hard to describe it as overrun by teams who only got 3 attempts on target between them.
Yes the performances were not good but then again we always seem to struggle to put lesser sides away comfortably. Having said that our opponents so far have looked better than several others that I could mention in these first 2 weeks.
Even our next opponents are not exactly unbeatable on current form although we all know what they are capable of.
I remember 2 seasons ago when we started with three 1-0 wins. None of those were spectacular in terms of performance and we needed a late penalty save from Mignolet in the first of those games. But it was a platform to build from.
We have won once in about 15 attempts away to Arsenal so 3 points irrespective of the performance would be massive. I would take the draw now in another dour performance and move on from there. At least the fixture will be out of the way.
A win at Arsenal would put us 6 points ahead of them having played 2 away games. In the grand scheme of things it is a big carrot to dangle and maybe for some worth having a crack at. We could play fantastic stuff compared to what we have offered so far and get beat 2-0. I would rather we were on 7 points this time next week.

I personally was not happy at all with our performance against a side which has just been promoted and has a budget of a 10th of ours. It didn't look like that at ANFIELD where they at least they matched us. I am saying we need to improve and fast else it's going to be another [oops] season. I can't see what's wrong with that unless if somebody feels that it was a good performance.

Sweet jesus, that post was far too level headed for this forum! Absolute bang on the money.

Excellent post that sums this place up perfectly at the moment. We are all Liverpool fans and we are all delighted to have 6 points but neither performance has been impressive. Daring to mention that doesn't mean we want BR sacked or that we are in some way not real fans. The pro Brendan brigade need to calm down and stop being so touchy.

It;s not just here though. If you take a look at the match thread on This Is Anfield as an example, it's a mirror of here, ok maybe without the tantrums, exaggerations, threats, lies, fights, drama, extreme positivity and extreme negativity but it's similar !!.
