It might feel outrageous to question an unbeaten ten game run Brendan, but it’s not so outrageous to question the quality of our football…

Brendan Rodgers spoke today about how our unbeaten run of ten games feels more like eight defeats and two draws. Yes it may seem ridiculous to the outside world that we are frothing at the mouth at such a record, but sometimes the stats hide the true story.
This is one of these occasions. We may be unbeaten in our last ten games, but we’ve underperformed and been lucky not to suffer a defeat or witness even more stalemates. We’ve also lost top place in the table as a result, so we have every right to feel aggrieved.
Brendan is an intelligent man, he knows this fine well, he’s just went into defensive mode as he try’s to deflect himself from the ever growing flak heading his way from the supporters.
Like Brendan we also ain’t daft and can see what’s unfolding in front of our very eyes. We pay good money to watch the side play, and for the majority of the season we’ve been served up nothing but mediocrity, and that’s being kind.
We expect a manager who is paid such a handsome salary to do so much better. He’s the best paid manager in the league and has the biggest budget, he and the players should be serving up better, that’s non negotiable.
Yes Brendan it may feel outrageous to question such a record, but it’s not so outrageous to ask such questions of the quality of football we have had to watch especially since the winter break.
