At the start of season 1998/99, Dick Advocaat had a record of 3W 3D 1L after his first 7 games before going on a run of 16W 2D 2L in his next 20. This was an experienced manager with a squad of expensive experienced players.
Steven Gerrard, with a lot less experience and player talent is only one point worse off in his first seven games. Granted yesterday was not great but the overreaction in the bipolar world of Follow Follow, where every victory means we're winning the league and every defeat means we're not, really can be off the scale.
We've had one transfer window to try and remedy the last three years of failure and even though days like yesterday will happen, we are certainly in a much better place all things considered. Let's see where we are once we've played everybody home and away and we have had the second window to make further improvements.
