I think the OP is largely missing the point. I agree that we had a tough start to the season, so the points total from those games is not expected to be near 100%. However, this is Liverpool FC. We actually have standards. Capitulating spinelessly vs Man City - fail. Not taking a point from the scum when they are playing rubbish football is poor. Not beating Sunderland at any venue simply isn't good enough. Ditto Everton. Blackpool? At home? Northampton, again at home? Taking the full squad and failing to score even once against Utrecht? 12-14 points is what is acceptable, not what we currently have.
Add to that: playing dire football week-in and week-out, picking newly signed players out of position, not dropping the dross, not picking the youth.... I could go on, but I won't.
Get rid.
And no, do not get O'Neill - he's just more of the same.
