I'm cautiously optimistic about Liverpool so far. I'm certainly excited to be where we are after the schedule we had to start the season. I still think we are a couple of players short of what we need to win it though. I've been supporting Liverpool for at least 20 years now. During that time I've seen them win both major European competitions. I've seen them win both domestic cups multiple times. They have won the league 18 times but the last time was 4-5 years before I discovered them. I've never seen them do it. That's the one I, and I think every Red on the planet, want. I think we WILL get it under Klopp. He is the first Liverpool manager since I've been able to follow them really close that has a system and insists that the system comes first, not the player. That's the way forward for a club that isn't one of the 7 or 8 or so that can just go out and buy a title. Shanks must be smiling.

I think the next big step for us needs to be cashing in on Sturrige while we still can. It's becoming increasingly obvious that he doesn't really fit the system. Sell him and get another forward that does. We might even have enough left over to go get a real left back, although Milner is doing much better than I ever thought he would there.
