We have no progress?
After 13 games last season in the league we were 6th - lost twice already plus 5 draws - dropping 16 points - right now we are 2nd , haven’t lost and drop 6 points
The progress is sat in front of your face in the league table
Points mean prizes - defences win the trophies
We are professionally winning matches and getting the points on the board - our goals scored is about what the others are doing bar City
I will take getting the results and the points on the board over being exciting and losing or dropping points because we couldn’t defend a lead or break down a team - both issues that cost us last season
Right now we have moved forward - quite clearly we have and it’s putting us in a better postion than we have had for decades
Are people expecting us to be like City or PSG - teams that have spent a significant more amount of money than us and have had a number of years head start to mould their teams
No progress in Performance yes...The team looks clueless as ever..And at some point and time results will match performance...I admit i can't argue with the dry stats but if you look at PSG ,Belgrade and Naples games and think you can rely on such performances in order to advance in the CL i would say you are in denial...You also mentioned teams like PSG/City ,i in no shape or form want to imitate their MO but i would like to see is a Liverpool team which is living to it's potential and a team that has a system ,knows what it's doing ,plays fluent attractive football and the rest lies with the god of football..
