im just frustrated, same as everyone else. Every year its the same, we start badly, then come jan we will have a run and everyone will say again how good we are. We do have the team to be pushing so much mroe than we are but soemthings just not working away from home and its just fecking annoying me!!!

Whats worrying me is maybe we wont get the run of wins this year "What if this is as good as it gets ?" to quote Jack Nicholson.

"What the fuc.k are you smoking soft lad ?" To quote myself.

Everybody keeps saying we are going to go on a run like we did last season, all im saying is there is no guarantee of that, our confidence is down our moral is low and no matter what you say, we are playing poorly.

We have played poorly only against United.

We have played badly against the top clubs for years - as AC Milan, Chelsea, Barcelona and United and Arsenal will testify.

Too true.  Had we managed to score first yesterday I think the result would have been very different.  What concerns me, though, is how we respond when we go a goal down.  Yesterday--and on other occasions this season, including at Old Trafford--the opposition always looked better value to add a second than us getting an equalizer.  Call it heart, call it bottle, call it belief...whatever--we seem to lack it when we go a goal behind at a main rival's ground.  It's a little worrying, is all.

The excuse of who gets the 1st goal is hardly tenable. If you have character you will rise to the occassion. If you absolutely need to score first in order to be competitive, then you are not good enough..

so what should we do ? Wind the club up and follow a rugby team ?

Should we fuc.k.

Get behind the boys and back them even more.

We lost our five hardest games of the season, so what.

In the scheme of things did we expect to score any more than 5 points from these games ? NO !

However we can still beat all of these teams at Anfield, and then you will see some very different posts.

If we are awful, then you will hear me blast the boys (United) but in the games against Arsenal we played good at times, at Bolton we where robbed by a truly awful decision, played some good stuff but lacked desire against the blue shi.te and lost to a wonderful strike from arguably the best striker in the league at the minute when a draw would have been a fair result.

If we are garbage then fair play, but we have only played badly in one of those games - at Old Trafford.

Tell that to AC Milan.
