I know the past 2 results have been very disappointing, not just results but also the manner of defeats. However, the reaction to these results has been really surprising and as disappointing. Most reds at the start of the season accepted this was likely to be a season of transition and were willing to give BR a couple of seasons before judging him. But after a good run of form, expectations built up and now people are angry.
At the end of the day, we are in a bad run of form, there's not much else to take from the past 2 results. BR has been a bit of a mixed bag so far, some good things, some not so good. Overall I think he's done fairly well, I'm unconvinced by the signings of Allen and Borini but I am willing to give them time. I also feel he didn't give some players enough of a chance initially, but he seems to be rectifying that now.
I will question some of his decisions, but I won't question his position until at least another season; I said that when he first took over and nothing has happened so far to convince me otherwise.

BR did invent the pass and move. Give him time.

something tells me you're being a little disingenuous there

think our biggest problem has been no Sturridge in the team, before the last 2 games we was playing nice football, but he was injured for the baggies game and couldn't play Europa.
it shouldn't be a surprise we still had the same problems before we got him we had in the last 2 games, its why we brought him in, but sadly couldn't use him in the games just gone.
not as bad as some think, well maybe Europa we are fooked, but in the league if Sturridge and Suarez stay fit we are fine in attack in my opinion.

jenners, totally agree, the last 2 matches highlight the weaknesses in our squad. 1st team is good but behind that we struggle.

I agree. Simply we went back to where we were before Sturridge came in. This was always going to be the case.
