How do you know? My bet is when we first signed Enrique you would have said he was cr@p and Riise was better. I like Enrique but this kid looks quicker, more dynamic and with more end product. Time will tell Stu but in the meantime I'd rather be positive. Sometimes I feel you complain for the sake of it so you can later say I told you so. Even when we did far better than you thought last season you blamed Rodgers for throwing it away. I'll say the team is much better than last year and we did not do a Spurs. We bought a better defender, two better CBs, a better defensive midfielder, a better creative midfielder and a better winger and if you compare Lambert for Aspas a better striker. At the end of last season I said we need to buy players that will make our starters warm the bench and we pretty much have except for a goalie and striker but we still have two weeks remaining. Your claims of "we should have got Fabragas for 30million" or "Costa for 32 million" is simplistic as you do not take into account that they wanted to go where they did (Sanchez too). You think Rodgers turned down the chance of Costa or Fabragas? You also seem to blame the manager for the Remy deal even though we agreed terms but he failed his medical, do you suggest we should have still signed him?
Bottom line is the season has not even started and you already wrote us of (as in every season). The constant negativity goes nowhere, I would rather make the most of it. I said last year that we will get third and we got second, and i am ok with it. You said sixth and you are complaining we only got second
Anyone that said Gerrard was a liability you attacked as clueless but as it turned out they were right. I was fecked of for about two weeks when we lost the title last year since we were so close but I am realistic, had we won, it would have been a fecking miracle. This year we are alot more solid and we are in pool 3 for the CL draw and I guarentee you the pool 1 and pool 2 teams do not want us in their group, but what do they know. They do it for a living and you played semi-pro football and football manager.
