I think our model should be what Klopp has done at Liverpool, it has taken him 4 years and now Liverpool are one of the best teams in the world. We need a lot of time, our defense is a shambles, our keeper is passable but with a defense that bad he can hardly be blamed for making rash decisions. This year should be making sure we do okay in the league and see how far we get in the Europa Cup. Next summer is a big one, we have to get rid of Ozil, his wages are bleeding us dry, get a couple of defenders in and maybe a couple of midfielders. Which would cost money so I am not sure how much money he will be given since the resale value of the players who want to leave us right now is nil.
I wasn't surprised at the Liverpool result, infact before the game I had joked with my brother about a possible 5-1 beating due to our atrocious defense and Liverpool's attack. The more disappointing result was the Brighton one, where we should have won.
