Recently i felt a surge of optimism and relieve, a feeling of I am glad thats over. I thought that finally expectations have finally come inline with our present predicament. There was a sense of a clean page on a new chapter of this wonderful clubs long history. Off were the shackles of history and expectation, on the wings of a new vision, a new project and an aspiration to play the game like Barcalona. Wonderful.
Then the season started. Wow.
First game, a combination of a wonder goal ( if its not a wonder goal its a Goal Keeper having the game of his life) some dubious refereeing decisions and a back 5 not totally up to speed on a new Agile defending system and we get thumped 3- 0.
Next game against arguably the most expensively assembled team on the planet, one which won the Premiership last season, whilst we certainly did not play them off the park, we were the better team. Again the back 5 (i'm including Pepe) not quite up to speed with this new system. But hey a very good point and an excellent performance.
Finally we play Arsenal, a team who have a reputation for playing football on the ground with a manager in place for **** knows what 15 plus years (not checked) and they beat us, same way we beat them at Highbury at the start of last season. It happens and again you could say there are transitions happening all over the park to this new way of playing which is not easy.
But hey nothing that cannot be expected, its going to take Rodgers at least to Jan, to get this side playing his way, at least. And its going to be at least 2 full seasons before we see this project kick in properly, IE the start of the 2014- 2015 Season.
But it seems that because we are Liverpool FC old habits or expectations die hard. It seems already ... theres talk of crisis ... talk of needing new owner ... new managers .. new directors of football ...
I tell you what I think we need, we need no change, none, nada, we need this set up in place for 5 to 10 years ... theres been far too much change, too many managers, too many owners, too many players coming a going, we need stability and we need to learn to take our medicine or our lumps. We need to find our supportive voice again, because this sense of gloom and we are ****ed that has cast a shadow over the club is poison.
Dont think you are not having effect on the club, games, players, managers etc. You are, wether you go to the games or tweet your frustrations it all adds up and at the moment the patients are running the ward somewhat.
Personally I think it needs to be spelled out clearly just how tough its going to be, and instruct the fans to help the club come through a very difficult time by being part of the solution and not something which is dragging the club down to the bottom of the sea.
We are were we are, it is going to take time. If Rodgers can achieve what he did at Swansea in the same time frame, we will all be delirous and the envy of the Lg. We need to give him and the players time.
I think Rodgers needs to speak to the fans frankly almost every forthnight and under promise / over deliver ... rather the other way around.
Also any chance we can realize that FSG are part of the family now, they are not vulture asset stripping capitalist like the last lot, they are in the business of sport and they make there money ( because we all have to make some money ) by making teams winners ... not profitable .... but winners and then profitable ...
Lets have the decency to support our people, because they are our people.
