We might be annoyed about the last couple of weeks, but we cannot deny the team is gradually improving.
Last year was a big leap from previous managers and squads. We may not have won anything, but making that much improvement in a season wasn’t going to happen.
This year, we’ve already came within a linesman’s flag of winning a trophy, through to the knockout stage of Europa (we though qualification for group stages alone was a stretch last year and we’ve been there twice in a row) and are 4 points off top spot.
Everyone is comparing SG’s approach to Liverpool and saying it won’t work, but look whats happening down there at his third attempt. Klopp slowly but surely made ground on city and all the while he has built a squad capable of getting 73 from 75 points in their 3rd year together, blowing everyone away in the process.
Regardless of the short term anger, the bigger picture shows steady improvement and we are getting stronger while they are arguably marking time at best.
Gerrard and his team will get at least one more year and I personally think that by next year we will be unstoppable.
