Well this to be a regular thing these days, but lets see what positives we can salvage from our recent thumping:
All of the 'hard' games are out of the way now, although Boro next week are no pushovers we can be a bit hopeful that we aren't going to get a thumping like we've had in recent away visits.
We are only 4 points from Arsenal who are now considered back in he title race? Go figure
We have a very winnable run of about 7/8 league games now to get us in a healthier position, while most of our rivals have a hard run in up until crimbo.
Our home form is excellent and you would rarely bet against a home win for us, all the teams we've been beaten by still need to come to Anfield in the second half of the season, so hopefully we will get a chance to give a good account of ourselves, and show that we aren't as rubbish as we've been making out.
We're through to the champs league last 16 with two games to spare, (the only English team I believe) that's a record for us, and means we can breath easy on these fixtures till the new year.
We will get a chance to right the wrongs v Arsenal in the Carling Cup, which by the way we are in the quarter finals of now.
We do have a quality team but they just aren't working for each other at the moment, once we get one away win under our belt, it will sort out the team mentality and give us a bit of belief.
The defeats we've had might have been easier to take if they hadn't all come at once. If the tough fixtures had been spaced out over the season, then we wouldn't be talking about the crisis we are in now.
We are still a team in transition and we've had to settle in new players, whilst incurring our hardest set of fixtures in recent memory. Whether the players are good enough or not is debatable, but any confidence players certainly won't have had a chance to shine recently, so now they really have a chance to prove themselves up until Christmas, if they can't find their feet in these games then they probably never will.
There's another transfer window in January, if we really need to bring in a player we can do it then, and I've a feeling Rafa already knows who he wants.
There's an international break this week, and while I wouldn't normally say that was a good thing, it'll give the players a chance to get away and hopefully reflect on what's going wrong, whilst giving Rafa a chance to collect his thoughts to mount some sort of a comeback.
It's not all doom and gloom, we just need to look for the positives!
