Fans Expectations

[Tyler]

Liverpool have won more trophies than any other English team over the last five seasons and have won the big one - the Champions League - season before last.

 

There seems to be a view that we should steamroll teams and while I am disappointed with our league form we need to get some perspective.

 

Things are not going our way in the League right now but if that is going to change then the fans need to play a part and get behind the team. Is it a coincidence that our European form is so much better given that European nights at Anfield are "special".

 

United have struggled in Europe in the same way as we have struggled in the league.

 

Goals change games - we need to get a couple of scrappy one -nils (like Chelsea have done) to get us on a roll. At the moment that is not happening but I belive Rafa is the only man for the job.

 

It is a let down not to be challenging for the title but I don't see anybody beating Chelsea to it for the forseeable future given their bottomless resources. United even with 70,000 home crowds cannot compete with Chelsea and I expect Chelsea will pull away after Christmas when the size and quality of their squad becomes an advantage.

 

Imagine consternation here if Rafa signed Shevchenko and he performed the way he has for Chelsea. We would be up s*** creek. Chelsea can go and sign Villa or whoever.

 

Unfortunately for the next few years we will be living on scraps but scraps like Istanbul, Cardiff etc are occasions that every other team and their fans would kill for.

 

We need to remember why this is a great club. Internet discussions are great but sometimes we need to step back and get some perspective.

My expectations:

 

Massive at the start of the season and then it goes slowly downhill
