I'm with you there :) I often chuckle when I go back and read a few Pellegrini threads, and a few of the very same people who thought he was grossly underachieving considering consider ing the talent at his disposal. A lot of those very same folks now thinks the best manager in the world needs time after spending over 350 million :-)The fact we played so few pre-games is our fault - fact. Time for the excuses to stop. We are not quite up to speed, we need 'x' player back, need time for the side to gel etc. We have the players now it's time for Pep to deliver not next season this season. Not doubting Liverpools quality but if we can't win these type of games then we won't win the league. How long since we have regularly beaten top six sides? I am confident we will have a great season and win a trophy, but the excuses really have to stop.
The change in tune has been amazing.... We went from being an extremely talented team that was underachieving because of its shit manager, to one that needed time with a great manager after Spending over 350 millions.
Like I've said already, if Pep doesn't win the league, he has failed. Period.
