The Start of Something?

Without a shadow of a doubt, we put in a performance against Liverpool yesterday. As a team, we have to realise that we have to be up for the fight in every game, not just the big ones, because you show more character in doing that than anything else. Not only that, but it also showed just how much better we are when we have Bruno and Ugarte in there. Can this be the start of something, or will it be the same cycle?

We put a lot of work in today; give Amorim a week to train, and then we’re more than capable of getting better. That’s the takeaway I got from this and the fact the players cared about getting something at a really difficult place in Anfield. We have to respect Liverpool for where they are. They are the best team right now. But also, we have to show up for ourselves and be up for the fight, and now it’s all about bringing that consistently into every game. If we start doing that, we climb up the table.

It’s a great start to the New Year. We must keep believing in Amorim and get to that summer transfer window, or, even better, if we can do something this month. I trust the idea, and to be quite honest with you, for Amorim to get a point at Anfield in our current circumstances is nothing short of ‘something’.

Those past performances were horrendous. But today, we brought that performance level up, and we need to do that every game until the end of the season. Amorim deserves a summer transfer window. We must get climbing up that table even if we’re still in the cups. A performance like that gives you momentum to do just that.
