Look, I'm not getting all arsey because the likes of Watford and west Ham had the temerity to wipe the floor with us. They're mid-table sides like ourselves (performing better though) and in both cases I tipped them to beat us. What I'm pissed about is that from a very early stage it was clear our one attacking option, be it because he was instructed to follow Collins around the pitch or did it of his own volition, just wasn't working. We didn't adapt to that on the field (we have no real leader now since gerrard went) and our manager froze and did nothing. I hope he's including himself with those he's angry with.
as to our 'false dawns' of whacking Chelsea, City and Soton - well that's what reasonably decent mid-table sides sometimes do. Stoke, Soton themselves, Villa a few seasons ago (and Newcastle), or going back to Fulham and Charlton a decade ago - all these teams were capable of pulling off a few stellar results a season, and that's where I think we're at. we also have to accept that the flipside is that almost any team can beat us. I expect klopp to improve things, in time, but neither I nor most Liverpool fans I know think we have a divine right any more to top four, let alone challenging for the league, simply based on our badge. Again, what I was frustrated about is that klopp showed no more nous than Rogers or Hodgson yesterday when we were being hosed, and I think that needs to be said.
