And compare the title of the thread to Liverpool's SIXTH premier league defeats this season, we're doing excellent. Well done Hughes, well done the coaching staff and well done to the players. It can't be easy, no matter how much money you're on, trying to adjust to making a team work, half of which is made up of completely new faces who are all going to have the spot-light on them. 6th place, 3 points, (and 4 goals), behind 4th place, a game in hand AND a semi final spot already booked? On 15/8/09 if someone had asked me would I take that cum mid-December, I would have had that 5 days from Tuesday every single time. Again, well done Blues and if any of the staff read this forum, I hope that like some of us on here, the negative posts are taken with either a pinch of salt, or just completely laughed at as impatient fans not fully understanding how much time this may have to take before success is delivered. In Hughes I have faith that success is imminent. CTID
