Its funny, Liverpool fans see their squad as genuine champs league spot contenders and think Hodgeson is doing awfully.
I think Liverpool will be lucky to get top 10 with 2 genuine top players who aren't even close to being in form, and that Hodgeson frankly did very well to get 3 wins and a draw on the bounce.
Does that not mean of the last 15 points, they picked up 10, and only lost one game, away to Stoke, which isn't a place many people win that often?
Last 8 game form, 3-2-3, is same as Spurs, Newcastle, and only three points behind Utd in the last 8, who had three more draws and no losses, Arsenal with 4-1-3 have lost the same, won an extra game, 2 points off.
The question is, do Liverpool fans HONESTLY expect Liverpool to match or better Arsenals points gains over an 8 game average, if not, then how is 3 or 2 points off so bad?
If Hodgeson stayed the whole season I'd expect the first 8 games to be much worse than the last of the season, and after a poor start you're 10th while in the last 8 games pulling in what, the 6-7th best points tally, if you continue to do that, or improve, that will probably have you finish around 7-8th.
After 3 wins and a draw, what did fans expect, Liverpool would never ever lose again, I mean, really?
