I know are few of you are mad and rightly so but were definitely moving in the right direction. Under Roy or Kenny would we ever be ahead at Arsenal or go a goal down against the champions away to come back and get in front. Sure both games ended in draws but we really should have just beaten Arsenal and City away, back to back. That is progress.
Right now defensive lapses are letting us down. If we can sort that out we are really going in the right direction. Sturridge has been a fantastic buy already and we still have Sterling waiting in the wings and Coutinho to see what he can do, those two will improve on Downing in the front 3. Hendo is really coming on too.
It's strange with our defence because individually Johnson, Enrique and Agger are all terrific defenders. Skrtel too, it's not all Pepe's fault so I dont think the improvement is going to come from buying players, just our system when we dont have the ball needs to be fine tuned.
Cracking match. Shame we didnt win either game this week. But IMO real positive signs that we are moving in the right direction. Our toughest three games left in the season now are Everton, Spurs and Chelsea and they are all at Anfield. We have a great run home. 4th is probably a stretch now but would love to close the gap and make it interesting and I really think we can.
Spurs have Arsenal at home then us away back to back. If they lose both of those, things tighten up real quick. Plenty of football still to be played.
