Missing chances isn't the sign of a failing team, slumping midfield dominance isn't the tell-tale characteristic of a Scottish washup, a permanently tired Brazilian, and an inept young Englishman. Hitting the bar, conceding one goal against teams that don't deserve it, having attacking movements brake down due to one misplaced pass, and a quality winger not being able to perfectly time crosses, doesn't not a bad team make. What it makes is a team, similar to the one in 07/08, that needs nothing but tweaking, some TLC, and marquee wins that will tell the squad they are what we all know they can be. Belief, central to all this, and perhaps a bit of faith from all parties will translate to, in my opinion, one of our better all around squads of our modern era. Henderson has shown a quality lacking in almost all English footballers, technicality, Adam, a quality that exists in not a single Scottish footballer, natural talent. Lucas is the worlds best midfielder in training, Kuyt is a goddamn Greek myth, think Marathon, Skrtel is Vidic's quiet younger brother, Agger is Beckenbaur's bastard child, Enrique is a tan Finnan, Johnson is a defensive Barnes. Suarez isn't Messi, because Messi doesn't have enough gall to bite a git if he's acting up, and Carroll is Ian Rush and Andre the Giant's Frankensteinian twin, and Gerrard isn't hurt he's just waiting. Objective reality obviously doesn't dictate any of this, I do, you do, and more importantly Kenny Dalglish does, so sit back, be patient, and realize that we need some blind belief as much as this squad does.
